The Campaign Trail

It's a sad goodbye to The Campaign Trail for a while.

This second series did not go the way I anticipated, and many of my plans were completely thrown into the meat grinder by dice, decisions, and probably dragons. This is what happens with a game based on improvisation and randomness.

When we recorded these final half dozen episodes I was incredibly ill, depressed, and not in the best creative headspace. I do not think I ran the game as well as I could have, in retrospect, and decided to end it here rather than pigheadedly carrying on when I, and some of the players, were no longer enjoying it.

It's a little heartbreaking, as I poured a lot of time and creativity into this project. I had a story I wanted to tell, I had topics I wanted to explore. But some of these topics are heavy, and perhaps were not right for the comedy stylings of this DnD game.

One day, I shall come back, yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all of your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.

It's the penultimate episode! The aftermath of the decisions the Foreign Office has made. What hope is there for Darnorth in a post-magical world? Can anything be saved? Will we have to put it up to a vote?

It's all gone a bit John Carpenter's The Thing. The final battle with the Dark Lord begins and Penne's penchant for necromancy takes a turn for the unsettling. How will that affect his polling?

Employee of the month! Viktrina's past actions are coming back to haunt her, or possibly reward her. Will she remember what side she's on? And what is New Milk anyway?

All along the Watchtower! Perran and Viktrina attempt to infiltrate the heart of the Dark Lord's power, while Agralad and Penne delve into the depths of the Conglomerate, and meet an unexpected guest.

Big trouble on the horizon and it's getting closer. The Conglomerate is an amalgamation of the biggest corporate giants in the land, and they're coming to your house. Can a team of four weirdos and their cat-person boss stop it?

The Far Off Lands are now in the Angerlands. The Dark Lord is moving faster than expected. Viktrina will have to choose her side.

And are those MORE yeti??

The sky ship is hurtling out of control! The engine is on fire! Penn could be about to fall to his death, and the economy is in shambles! How will our heroes escape this one?

The final showdown for Perran and the Yellow Lord! But all is not as it seems, and rescuing Captain Biscuit may be more perilous than they first thought!

After last episode's devastating cliffhanger, how will Perran react? How can our team hope to defeat the banking giant without their Warlock's... warlock-y-ness?

The answer might surprise you!
