Stormwood & Associates: An Actual Play RPG Podcast

The team is having a beach day! Sure, the water is cold as heck and Kel hates the sand, but it’s the sort of team building any group of heroes needs. Kel, Babbitt and Bill ended up on a scavenger hunt, while Raz decided to sunbathe. Unfortunately, when the three boys returned, Raz was gone — and it looks super suspicious.

Since everything has been so stressful, Raz Stormwood has decided that the team needs to spend a day at the beach. While Raz kicks back though, Babbitt, Bill and Kel end up finding a treasure map.

The leading theories on who left it are “pirates” or “someone setting up a thirteen year old’s birthday party.”

The post 9. Irrational Treasure (Beached Part 1) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

Deep below the San Ricardo Bay, in the caves of the great dragon Alcatraz’s island, Raz, Babbitt and Bill are on a mission to find out what has driven off the great beast (and caused it to block three lanes of traffic on the Bay Bridge). Upon their arrival, they found a mercenary military force, and decided to handle it their usual way — by shooting a lot.

But when they reached the dragon’s main chamber, our heroes discovered that the mercenaries were trying to dislodge a giant gem from the cave wall.

So needless to say… there was more shooting.

The post 8. The Wind and the Liar (Island of Alcatraz Part 3) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

Raz, Babbitt and Bill are on a mission to find out why the great dragon Alcatraz has been driven from his island. Currently deep under the bay in the caves beneath the island, the team has discovered way more guys in military gear than there should be in a place like this.

The amount that there should be is zero by the way.

The post 7. The Great Cave Robbery (Island of Alcatraz Part 2) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

The Great Dragon Alcatraz has left his island and is currently blocking three lanes of traffic on the Bay Bridge. Our heroes have been hired to find out what has driven the city’s guardian sea dragon from its home, and have to venture out into the bay.

Well, except for Kel. Kel decides to stay at the office and supervise the interns.

The post 6. Escape to the Rock (Island of Alcatraz Part 1) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

Look, the evil wizard may be unconscious on the floor, but almost all of his minions are still standing. At least one of our heroes is going to leave this with emotional scars, and at least another with very physical ones.

But hey, the team finally finishes their first job.

The post 5. A Pile of Loose Ends (Pilot Part 5) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

After witnessing a break in during their physical penetration test at Prupip Technologies, the Stormwood & Associates team have decided to find out what’s really going on. They have clues, a black SUV, and the ability to scale a warehouse in the rain.

It’ll make sense, trust me.

The post 4. Rain and Revelations (Pilot Part 4) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

After a real break in interrupts their penetration text at Prupip Technologies, the team is in hot pursuit. I mean, Bill and Babbitt are in a late 90s Chevy Lumina, but it’s still pretty exciting. Raz, on the other hand, mostly just stands in a lobby.

And Kel is still back at the office.

Look, not everyone gets to be a car chase. Sometimes people need to talk to the cops.

The post 3. Bouncing Babbitt (Pilot Part 3) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

Hired to test the physical security of a Prupip Technologies facility, the team soon finds out that they’re not the first ones to break in. Raz shoots, Babbitt dives, and Bill goes and gets a bag of ice.

And a Cockney Ninja shows up.

The post 2. Servers and Shafts (Pilot Part 2) first appeared on Nerd & Tie Network.

In our first episode, the team assembles and goes out on their first job — testing the physical security of a Prupip Technologies data center. Of course, just because you make a plan doesn’t mean everything goes to it.
