No Return
No Return: An Audio Drama by Kier Zhou Enjoy yourself in the chaotic, fantastical world of "No Return," where the worldbuilding ambition rivals Robert Jordan, the humour channels Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, and the violence echoes Tom Sharpe- all wrapped in the indie punk aesthetic of a one man band making content on a laptop powered by a potato. This full cast comedy fantasy spans a diverse array of tales: - Clumsy Divine Quests: Join researchers on accidental divine missions. - Mercenary Chaos: Witness comedic clashes between mercenaries and foreign warships. - Eerie Mysteries: Delve into the haunting search for lost children. - Ancient Secrets: Unearth treacherous truths in the Darklands. - Sinister Plots: Navigate a city's dark underbelly filled with kidnappings and dark schemes. - Ensemble Comedy of Errors: Dive into epic fantasy battles where magic and mayhem reign supreme. - Actual Play: Follow the gripping saga of a burning city and the heroes fighting for its survival amidst chaos and intrigue. Told through a tightly edited TTRPG actual play. And remember, for those seeking extra tales and behind-the-scenes magic, check out: https://patreon.com/NoReturnAD
