The Order finally reaches Orcium and get an unexpected reception. They are brought up to speed on current events in this exotic land and discover that they may further complicate the mission!
Before the game, the group (especially L'angelius) was given a crash course in speaking "beginner" Orcish. Some key words they already know are:
Urai: Used to get someone's attention quickly. "Hey you!" or "This is important!"
Chok: "Stop"
Vosh: "Dig"
Rog: "Rock" or "Stone"
With the fight now in full swing The Order recovers their weapons and tide begins to turn! The title of this episode is a hint, but even if they do manage to take the ship will the party be able to live with consequences? As with the previous two episodes this was edited from a much longer recording and begins in the middle of the action, but we will return next week with a regular episode complete with our re-cap of events so far! (Check out eps 143 and 144 if you missed the whole story of the party's high-seas high jinks!)
Picking up from where we left off last week the party's plan goes from sneaky to "stabby" as they are forced into a confrontation with the crew of the ship. Without their weapons The Order must rely on their other skills to defend themselves against a dozen armed sailors! (This episode was edited from a much longer recording and ends in a rather sudden cliff-hanger, but fear not! Next week's episode will pick up exactly where this one leaves off!)
The party finally sets sail! However, on their first day at sea L'angelius realizes that they may not be taking the course they were promised and Virgil makes an unsettling confession! (This episode was edited from a much longer recording and ends in a rather sudden cliff-hanger, but fear not! Next week's episode will pick up exactly where this one leaves off as we discover the results of the party's fateful decision!)
RWU is back with an ALL NEW adventure! We return to the exploits of the Order of the Hammer as they continue their quest to alter the course of The Goblin War! With Virgil now a full member of the party they make preparations to travel to their next destination, but everyone has serious suspicions about how they intend to get there!
Journey with us to a time long ago in a galaxy far, far away as we look back to one of the most hilarious episodes RWU has ever recorded! Nominated by Inner Circle member Chris Otto, this adventure sees a group of brand new rpg-ers (along with two of our regulars) playing as a small group of Rebels attempting to join the Alliance. Will The Force be with them?! (If you enjoy this adventure and want to hear more go back to Episode 60 and check out the introduction to this daring rendezvous!)
This week we jump back to Episode 064 of RWU to revisit the debut of the NEW Cthulhu Crew! This episode was suggested by RWU Inner Circle member Nikole Jones and features her character, Liliana Alyse, getting to know her new team-mates (one in particular) as they investigate the strange goings on in a small town in New Mexico!
All this month we are revisiting our favorite episodes of Role With Us as chosen by the members of "The Inner Circle"! We start with Brian's pick featuring the introduction of his most adorable creation to date, Dobbler! Relive part of the first adventure ever run on Role With Us! If you haven't heard this adventure before (maybe even if you have?) you can go all the way back to Episode 001 and check out the whole story!
In this chapter, The Underhill Expedition spends some time monkeying around in yet another shrine!

Olryan has a miraculous recovery from his bout of "shivering sickness" just as Eliza falls prey to it. However, he finds his new lease on life immediately threatened as he leads the party into a run-in with a new type of dinosaur!
The party makes good time through the next leg of their trek. Along the way they take a moment to observe some of the local wildlife and even stop to smell the flowers.
Have you missed our play-through of Tomb of Annihilation so far? Or maybe you thought we were too far into the adventure to jump on board? Then we have some good news for you! The Inner Circle had been away from the game table for quite a while and REALLY needed a refresher on all the events so far. They re-cap the entire story (as much as they remember anyway) before the party strikes off once again into the wilderness in search of the lost city of Omu!
The party moves into the swamp and finds...a flying mountain! The strange lady who lives there gives them some direction, but no one can agree if she can be trusted!
Finally, the party breaks through the jungle! However, the new terrain proves just as unwelcoming and a pitched battle breaks out when the party is ambushed by savage frog-people!
The RWU crew met up at Tidewater Comicon 2018 to put on one of their 'LIVE!' panel events! Stalwart GM Keir Lyles leads the players through a brief scenario using West End Games' Star Wars: The Role-Playing Game. Will The Force be with them or will the audience prove even more powerful? Find out!
The party's search through the mysterious and deadly jungle continues, but the experience they are gaining starts to pay off!
A "second wave" of heroes sets out to complete the mission with markedly more success than the first.
Chris had to leave before we recorded this one, but his character, "Tam" is still around! He's played this time by Brian's wife (and FIRST TIME RPG-er!), Rebecca! The party and their guide finally enter the jungle and immediately begin to wonder if they are as prepared as they believed.
The party starts looking for a guide to take them into the jungle, but it proves to be a more difficult choice than they imagined!
