Crudely Drawn Swords - A Dungeon World Actual Play Podcast

Summary: An actual play podcast of high adventure, low dice rolls and intermediate levels of terrible puns in which five old friends imagine ourselves to be dynamic and exciting heroes in a game of Dungeon World. Crudely Drawn Swords is a long-term campaign following a team of heroic(?) adventurers as they follow a quest that will take them through strange lands, across dangerous seas and on perilous journeys through unknown regions. If you are a fan of podcasts like Friends at the Table, The Adventure Zone, Critical Role, Acquisitions Inc or Campaign then our mixture of epic storytelling, memorable characters and hilarious antics will put a smile on your face and a bounce in your step. Routinely contains strong language, extraordinarily bad accents and a certain inscrutable charm.

 S2E27: Thunder, Justice and After-Dinner Speeches | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:52:06

There is a vacancy for Ship's Cook on board the Ghost, who could fill the greasy shoes of the late Mr. Cupcake? Percy remembers his vocation, Bambari takes the biscuit, Tristan shares the old stories* and Enigma enjoys the ocean spray in this thalassic episode of Crudely Drawn Swords. ================= Footnote: There are many stories of the Pirate ( later Admiral ) Shanks, it is certain that most of them are pure fiction, or wild exaggerations of actual events. Fictional and real characters are conflated so that many of the tales of this redoubtable seaman were doubtless first told about other heroes, now forgotten. However it seems possible that somewhere, among all the worlds, there was a genuine Shanks and that if there was, he might have looked a little bit like Stuart, who plays Tristan, and that various people resembling the other Hawks and even the GM may have been members of his crew at one time or another.

 S2E26: Shark Narnia! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:48:35

When on a soothing ocean cruise, what could be more pleasant than a nice calming swim? Obviously, that would be a very bad choice if you were wearing armour or your ship was under full sail or there were sharks around but sometimes isn't a bad choice still better than being actually on fire? Bambari gives orders, Percy chills out, Tristan dives to the rescue, Enigma goes deep and Torquil keeps trying to steal the spotling in this pelagic episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

 S2E25: Crumbs! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:02:26

The Hawks are on a sailing ship, with the wind behind them, the sky above them and the open ocean before them. A chance to relax and enjoy the journey, assuming Tristan has found them a ship with a cheerful captain and a jolly crew of cheerful yet competent sailors. Tristan is a notorious liar, Bambari joins the dots, Percy carries a long weight and Enigma takes some heat in this swell episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

 S2I6: I don't want to die here | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:00:15

"I guess it's time for the last stand." With these words, the druid Longtooth delineates the conclusion of the long journey through winter. A larger army, powerful ice magic, a traitor among their group and finally battle is joined. Didi shows his true colours, Longtooth believes he can touch the sky, Decaro faces an unprecedented situation and General Wintergreen has a plan in this conclusive episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

 S2I5: What we hope for in life | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:54:52

The end is in sight for the heroes of the south, the chance to join with the remainder of their army lies almost within their grasp. Almost, but what we hope for in life is not always what we get. Longtooth is menagerial, Decaro mountaineers, Wintergreen decodes and Didi builds bridges in this discursive episode of Crudely Drawn Swords. Editing and production credit to Claire Denney, who has been an invaluable addition to the CDS team over the last few months.

 S2I4: A Moment of Quiet | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:52:17

The survivors of Stoneshaw face their most dangerous opponent yet, a creature of powerful ice magic. Can they prevail in the face of overwhelming power? Didi tees off, Decaro takes a dive, Longtooth joins the owsla and the Princess General loves it when a plan comes together in this boss-battling episode of Crudely Drawn Swords. Special thanks to Claire Bowen for her work on editing this episode and to Stu's mum for elevating the ridiculous to a more sublime degree of ridiculousness.

 S2I3: A Mercy Killing | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:46:20

The survivors of Stoneshaw have run into trouble as they try to make their way to the remainder of the southern army - the Icewatchers are camped right along the north road. Fortunately our heroes are adept at sneaking stealthily to safety. Unfortunately that is a massive lie. Decaro is a soft touch, Didi shows his true colours, Longtooth rats out his enemies and the Princess General goes head-to-head with the opposition in this vermiform episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

 S2I2: Quieter and Smaller | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:46:20

A small group of survivors from the Caris army are struggling to make their way to safety through the snowbound forests of a southern winter. With danger behind them, more danger ahead and very probably danger to the left and the right, it is just as well that these are some of the toughest heroes in the world, even if one of them never speaks and the other speaks with the voices of many creatures. Truth and treachery collide in this wiggly episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

 S2I1: Stoneshaw Is Falling | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:51:36

While the Hawks enjoy a simple pleasure-cruise up the west coast of the continent the camera moves south, closer to the front line, to focus on the old manor of Stoneshaw. Here the remnants of the Caris army are hiding out after their initial defeat, resisting the Icewatcher forces as best they can, but their enemies have great numbers and significant power - even the best concealed fortress cannot hold out forever. A chance to meet new characters and enjoy new adventures in this illusory episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

 S2E24: I was here all along! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:08:14

It would be fair to say that their adventure downriver started out less relaxing than they might have hoped, but now the Hawks are floating free and get a little time to rest and relax. Enigma drinks to the past, Bambari makes himself useful, Percy tells a story and Tristan cleans up in this Jeromian episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

 S2E23: The Drowned King | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:46:38

After their bold escape from the embattled city of Vale, our heroes have a chance to sit back, relax and enjoy a pleasant meander downriver to the sea, sharing some stories and making hilarious dick jokes. Or at least, that is the plan. Bambari discovers some magic he can get behind, Percy provides a cooling embrace, Tristan smooths the situation and Enigma walks a fine line in this high-contrast episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

 S2E22: The Natural Predator | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:03:12

When the world has collapsed into chaos, sometimes the safest thing to do is hide. Find somewhere safe, out of the storm, and hunker down. You just need to hope a group of awful bullies don't kick your door in and start ruining everything, but surely nobody's luck is that bad. Bambari identifies something legitimate, Enigma identifies something illegitimate, Tristan shrugs off responsibility and Percy shows his creative side in this dastardly episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

 S2E21: Duck And Cover! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:43:03

A secret tunnel leads to almost certain safety, assuming that there are no tricky stairways to navigate and the streets are devoid of peril. Percy identifies a talent, Tristan is surprisingly gullible, Enigma stands perfectly still and Bambari gets the point on the slippery slope that is this episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.

 S2E20: The Bard's Kiss | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:56:31

The city is under attack and at a time like that any good adventurer needs to get to rescuing the defenceless, especially when that is an opportunity to reinforce their own bitter personal narratives and score points in old rivalries. Enigma knows secrets, Percy gets into an awkward situation, Bambari lays down some sick rhymes and Tristan gets into an even more awkward situation in this extricative episode of Crudely Drawn Swords!

 S2E19: The Cold Shoulder | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:47:40

Vale, capital city of Caris, is under attack from a magical snowstorm that is filling its streets with the walking dead. The Hawks have made their way to the limited safety of the Iron Church, but for the next part of their plan to be enacted, they will have to confront implacable enemies and remember what the next part of their plan was. Enigma is weaponised, Percy awakens the sleeping, Bambari delivers some burns and Tristan dances into the fire in this chilling episode of Crudely Drawn Swords.
