Roll Your Own Adventure

Hello there! Come in, get comfortable, and welcome to Roll Your Own Adventure. It’s an improvised storytelling podcast with a heavy dose of audience interaction.

43 // Deck to Dock 04/16/2024

43 // Deck to Dock There are things to do and places to be! But not for this tenacious group. Our adventurers work incredibly hard to… not work hard... as they finally make it to the legendary city. But before they can start heading for the Light of Atlantis there’s one more challenge. Can our intrepid team execute their plan and make it off the Undercurrent? Only one way to find out! /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/30828828

42 // Entry to Atlantis 03/05/2024

42 // Entry to Atlantis Our adventurers shake off the bad vibes of Mayhem’s Reach as they begin their final descent towards the glimmering city of Atlantis - but not everyone is so lucky. As the Undercurrent flirts once more with disaster on the deck, behind closed doors an important journey needs a… creative… plan. And please can they rest soon? /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/30235763

41 // The Dreaded Hollow 02/13/2024

41 // The Dreaded Hollow What was that? Who was that? This has to be a dream - or a nightmare. The effects of Mayhem's Reach hit hard and nothing is as it seems. Memories are tested, loyalties are questioned, and someone's past catches up with them... /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/29905918

The Return of RYOA 01/16/2024

The Return of RYOA An announcement! We’re BACK. That’s right, it’s time for the return of Roll Your Own Adventure. We’re continuing our descent towards Atlantis as we attempt to solve the many mysteries of the Undercurrent. What dastardly troubles await our sea-faring adventurers this time? What lurks in the dreaded hollow?? Will there be dolphins?!? Are we there yet?!!?? Spread the word and submit those audience items cause we can’t wait to be back in your eardrums soon. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/29468838

40 // The Burdens Below 07/12/2022

40 // The Burdens Below Something's not quite right beneath the deck of the Undercurrent, and it's time to find out what’s been hiding in the shadows. But can our adventures make a plan before their own fears catch up with them? And who can they trust when the stakes start to climb? Loyalties are tested, sacrifices are made, and someone goes through a... fuzzy... transformation /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/23717639

39 // Mayhem's Reach 05/17/2022

39 // Mayhem's Reach What was that noise? Did you see that shadow!? Where did they come from?? Both our stowaways and the crew start to feel the effects of Mayhem's Reach as the Undercurrent moves into the long, twisted cave system that marks the start of the Split Grotto, and the fourth and penultimate gate on the journey to Atlantis. Secrets are uncovered, trust is tested but not everyone deals well with the unknown… /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/23139407

38 // Roar of the Deep 04/19/2022

38 // Roar of the Deep Did… you… say… TENTACLE?? It’s time to reckon with the deep when the Kraken comes to call. But is this a fight our adventurers can win? And what is it that the crew of the Undercurrent is hiding? All may not be as it seems, but one thing is certain - if they don’t work out what to do next, Everdeep Drop will be our journey’s end. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/22838432

37 // Everdeep Drop 03/29/2022

37 // Everdeep Drop It’s time for our adventurers to get back to their posts and leave that nasty sand behind them as the Undercurrent continues its descent down into the cavernous chimney of Everdeep Drop. But as they work to light the way forward, they can’t help but stumble onto secrets still hidden in the dark. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/22591715

36 // Sunlight’s Boundary 03/10/2022

36 // Sunlight’s Boundary So you broke the ship you were granted passage on as stowaways with a giant untouchable anvil? Happens to all of us. Best stay out of the way of the captain and the crew until you work out what to do about it. Or, take the Rustle approach! Let’s see which way ends well... /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/22403966

Roll Your Own Holiday Special // 2021 12/31/2021

Roll Your Own Holiday Special // 2021 See ya 2021. It’s time to farewell the year that was with some holiday cheer! The RYOA crew look back over the last year and try to remember things that happened in it. Plus a musical number from a surprise guest... /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/21640022

35 // The Restless Sands 12/17/2021

35 // The Restless Sands The deck of the Undercurrent begins to look a little worse for wear as our adventures foster a new-found hatred for sand. Mostly because it’s coarse, and rough, and irritating. And it gets everywhere. Also because it’s attacking them. On the upside, there’s a giant friendly crab who helps them fight some skeletons, attacking their weak points for massive damage. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/21518879

34 // Wreck's End 12/01/2021

34 // Wreck's End The adventurers take a stab at fighting things other than shambling mounds and scary robots, namely: the ocean, some sand, and a wealth of sunken ships. While Mazj finally gets the leader she’s always wanted and Rustle rescues a fish, Ka’Met and Brynn don their superhero garb and finally become the terrified heroes they were always meant to be. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/21339206

33 // Beneath the Waves 11/17/2021

33 // Beneath the Waves Everyone’s favourite way to start the day is with soaking wet clothing on a ship that has no indoor heating and smells of a reef, right? Well, lucky for Brynn, Ka’Met, Mazj, and Rustle, that’s how it begins! But how will it end? Probably with some tenuous plans to navigate an underwater ship graveyard and a friendly shark--doo doo doo-doo doo doo. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/21193379

BONUS // Ten Candles - Part 2 (Halloween Spooktacular 2021) 11/02/2021

BONUS // Ten Candles - Part 2 (Halloween Spooktacular 2021) Four figures push through the thickening darkness, convictions crumbling with the world around them as they begin to lose sight of hope, and Londinium begins to fade. The whispers of Them follow, heavy and haunting as they make their way through the abandoned city. And somewhere in the distance, a faint cry for help begins to sound more like a scream. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/21023990

BONUS // Ten Candles - Part 1 (Halloween Spooktacular 2021) 10/26/2021

BONUS // Ten Candles - Part 1 (Halloween Spooktacular 2021) It’s time to celebrate the spooky season with a truly eerie bonus episode. A quiet darkness falls over the starship city of Londinium. Engines that once kept the ship alive with light and noise now stopped without warning. Survivors huddled in the darkness pass on rumours of the Them - a force or being undefined, but mentioned only in hushed whispers and terrified tones. But with those rumours, hope. A group of defenders is said to have gathered at the Great Core Park, and there perhaps, lies safety... /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/20943803

32 // Learning the Ropes 10/12/2021

32 // Learning the Ropes Welcome aboard the Undercurrent, due to set sail to the legendary Atlantis. Our adventurers-- sorry --stowaways, will have to earn their keep on this ship, but who will they be apprenticed, to? A goblin of few words and a skill for rigging? A cold-blooded fisher and apothecary? A sweet-tempered and patient cook? Or an elf whose people skills are somehow worse than Brynnleigh’s? And wait, did you say they’re headed to the mythical city of Atlantis? /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/20783936

31 // High Seas 09/14/2021

31 // High Seas Our adventurers are once again whisked away somewhere new, but it takes a while for them to get their sea legs. Brynnleigh makes everyone question whether or not she’s actually the daughter of a diplomatic nation, Ka’met and Rustle greet the ocean air with wide arms, and Maz’j is uncharacteristically trusting. I guess she has a thing for authority figures… like, say, the Captain? /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/20468570

30 // Moonlighting 08/24/2021

30 // Moonlighting Brynnleigh gives Mazj a pep talk before her big date (but we won’t call it that, so Mazj doesn’t panic). Meanwhile, Rustle finally crosses paths with some character growth, but maybe also accidentally joins a cult while he does it? Plus, our adventurers decide that maybe Findal knows more than he’s letting on... /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/20243849

BONUS // Oswald Perigrin's Summer Camp for Wayward Adventurers 08/03/2021

29 // Things That Grow 07/14/2021

29 // Things That Grow Mazj takes a big step, Brynnleigh finds an old friend in a new place, and Ka’met redefines what it means to be a fun-gi. But first, it’s time to trade as Flint shows off their new wares at the general store. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/19809878

28 // Starlight and Song 06/24/2021

28 // Starlight and Song Our adventurers end up somewhere they don’t expect with an item they don’t understand and people who don’t understand them. Mazj offers support, Brynn is uncharacteristically sincere, Rustle is characteristically insincere and Ka’met makes a bold move. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/19589432

27 // The Scrounge 9 - Reunion Tour 06/02/2021

27 // The Scrounge 9 - Reunion Tour The pieces fall into place for one of the competing Scrounge teams - but will it be our ragtag crew or someone else taking home the prize? It’s time for the final countdown as our adventurers reunite and the Key to the Sky flies towards the finishing line. Brynn works through some anger issues, Ka’met ponders a potato, Rustle makes a stunning entrance, and Mazj edges towards a high stakes decision with a little help from her friends. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/19332371

26 // The Scrounge 8 - One More Step 05/12/2021

26 // The Scrounge 8 - One More Step Mazj and Brynnleigh deal with their unexpected visitor in unexpected ways. Rustle and Ka’met wait in the fog. Vesper and Verena start to wonder if they made the right choice when choosing their Scrounge team... /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/19077866

25 // The Scrounge 7 - Old Friends, New Enemies 05/01/2021

25 // The Scrounge 7 - Old Friends, New Enemies Mystery! Intrigue! Tea! While Rustle, Ka’met, and Verena prepare themselves for battle with the ever approaching Scrounge team, Mazj and Brynnleigh have a much needed catchup as they try to solve the puzzle of the key chamber and find the Key to the Sky. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/18934367

24 // The Scrounge 6 - Many Meetings 04/15/2021

24 // The Scrounge 6 - Many Meetings With Mazj headed to the Key to the Sky and the final steps of the Scrounge plan falling into place, it’s time to see if our adventurer’s scheming has paid off. Rustle and Ka’met work with Verena to check up on the other Scrounge teams, Brynnleigh continues her search for Ameliana, and all eyes are on Mazj as she works her magic... /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/18735128

23 // The Scrounge 5 - Double Party Split 03/31/2021

23 // The Scrounge 5 - Double Party Split Ever had to be in three places at once? One split party not enough? Have we got the solution for you! The double party split gives you 50% more fun! What could possibly go wrong? While Rustle and Ka’met stay with Verena in the Network Operations Center, Mazj starts the next phase of their plan - finding the warden closest to the Key to the Sky. Meanwhile Brynn tries to catch up to Ameliana. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/18547790

22 // The Scrounge 4 - The Singular Sensation 03/09/2021

22 // The Scrounge 4 - The Singular Sensation The team continues their battle with their fearsome scrounge opponents, fighting their fears (with song! and dance!). Elsewhere, Brynn and Ameliana have their own path to follow... /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/18248507

21 // The Scrounge 3 - Into the Fray 02/10/2021

21 // The Scrounge 3 - Into the Fray The heat is on (quite literally) as Mazj, Ka’met, and Rustle face off against their first Scrounge team in what quickly turns into a fear-inducing battle. Meanwhile, Brynn is faced with skullduggery of her own as she confronts Reginatus and tries to save Ameliana. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/17898299

20 // The Scrounge 2 - Another Door Opens 01/30/2021

20 // The Scrounge 2 - Another Door Opens It hasn’t taken long for plans to be tested as our adventures head further into the Scrounge. Mazj, Ka’met, and Rustle continue to home-alone the team gaining ground behind them, but it looks like the path to the Network Operations Center might not be as clear as they were hoping. Meanwhile, Brynn is faced with some difficult decisions. /episode/index/show/rollyourownadventure/id/17747273
