A Call to Ruin
Adventures in Lollygagging is a group of silly folks who create, record, and live-stream content for several tabletop roleplaying games. In our audio-only podcasts and our video content via Twitch and YouTube, we focus on character-driven stories, bad decisions, and an abundance of absurdity. We have featured games like Zweihänder, Mutant Year Zero, Vaesen, Heart, Shinobigami, and Electric Bastionland, with plenty more games on the horizon to play. Our first audio-only show, A CALL TO RUIN, uses the Zweihänder RPG system and follows begrudging medieval adventurers as they navigate the politics, mysteries, and malevolent forces threatening Verdam, a penal colony near the top of the world. Lured by a missing persons job, the adventurers become embroiled in a dangerous uprising, all while unknown whispers and songs beckon inhabitants northward, beyond civilization and towards doom. New episodes release every Monday.
