    The Divinity Plague | Session Zero

    23/06/2026 | 20 mins.
    Welcome to The Divinity Plague, our brand-new Silt Verses RPG mini-campaign with a whole new world and cast of characters to meet. Join Drew, Miah, Lauren, and Emma as they create a team of Custodians working for B.I.A.S.E.D. (the Bureau for the Investigation and Assimilation of Stray Deities), tasked with tracking down rogue gods and cleaning up the devastation they leave behind… for a god must feed.
    Meet Pearl, a feral devotee of the mercurial river god known as the Trawler Man. Gary, a kind and self-sacrificing monk of the Pox Martyr. Sisna, a bloodthirsty hunter and harbinger of the Beast That Stalks in the Tall Grass. And Lune, a whimsical woman and worshipper of her childhood guardian, Mr. Howl. Plus, David shares a bit about The Silt Verses RPG and what listeners can expect from this strange world of folk horror, faith, and monstrous divinity. Let's dive in.

    Blades of Brickwall pt. 6 | Brickwall Broken

    21/04/2026 | 1h 16 mins.
    The Darkhouse Gang's plan is certainly… ambitious. But to do it right, they want to get the entire city on their side. Unfortunately, some powerful forces in the city are very much against our heroes. And their conflict is about to shake the entire city down to its very foundations.

    Blades of Brickwall pt. 5 | Build God Then We'll Talk

    07/04/2026 | 2h 48 mins.
    The client for the latest heist has made himself known, and the Darkhouse Gang needs to not just keep him safe, but help him do… well something pretty crazy, actually. You're going to have to listen to find out what that is, but suffice it to say that if they pull this off, it'll change Brickwall—and the entire world—forever.

    Blades of Brickwall pt. 4 | We're Not Heroes

    24/03/2026 | 2h 21 mins.
    Veeve Lawrence is dead. Something insane went down at her exhibition, and the Darkhouse Gang may be the only ones who can get to the bottom of it, but getting too close could put a pretty big target on their back. So what’ll it be? Save the day? Or save their own asses? Yeah. That’s a rhetorical question.
