Worlds Beyond Number

Fortunate Horse

Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, Aabria Iyengar, and Lou Wilson hang out together and use games to make stories. It's pretty good.

And now, for our final course, the denouement. But how will it end? In confession? In violence? In the cold precision of a sickly sweet poison pill, or the white hot bite of black widow? Perhaps. The only things guaranteed in this, our final curtain call, are the same things that are always guaranteed to grow from the soil of spilled blood: lawyers, guns, and money.

HINT! ep4: Just Deserts

Our interlocutors do as the Romans do and pipe up, sweating through their first interrogation, but Cass finds himself in the cruelest court of all when his paper trail leads the way to new suspicions and old desperations. Not even a nice liberal government can save you from some things, like the smoking, still-warm barrel of a gun.

HINT! ep3: Will They, Won't They

As blood pools upon the thick pile of the Boddie Estate's imported rug collection, our players, and the game, are afoot. Bodies on the move in voluminous pants and long, dark secret hallways. Revelations and aspersions fill the air of the mansion like fingers between the keys of a grand piano, like a sky-darkening murmuration of starlings, as our heroes begin to uncover the culprit behind this murder most...fowl.

To whom it may concern, you have been cordially invited to the Boddie Estate, alongside many established as well as up-and-coming luminaries, gadabouts, learned scholars, loyal compatriots, mysterious servants, long-time friends with complicated backstories, blackmail artists with hearts of gold, liars from your past, traitors from your present, not-mysterious-at-all servants, and of course, one very, very wealthy corpse. Spoiler alert.

HINT! ep1: Let the Boddie Hit the Floor

The cast assembles to look back at the end AND the whole of Book One. Ends and wholes, that's what it's all about, baby! Join us on our Patreon for more like this! Coming soon to the Patreon: Music Chat, where we look back at the music and, gulp, music theory of Book One's incredible score! A whole episode about the "what ifs" of Book One (one of the best bits of bonus audio we've ever recorded, imho)! And so, so much more. See you there!

Fireside Chat for Chapter Four and All of Book One

Behold the Future of Worlds Beyond Number! Here's a rundown of all the great stuff coming your way, taken from the most recent Fireside Chat where the gang goes deep on dissecting that WILD finale. Listen through to the end for an announcement about our upcoming album drop! What!?

ANNOUNCEMENT: The New Worlds Beyond

We gotta go.

Thus ends Book One of The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One. Here's to many more. In the meantime, we have wonders piled high to share with you, dear listener. Come, join us, and see. There are other worlds than these.

This Fall we'll be releasing mini-series, one shots, multiple talkbacks, and more across our public podcast feed and over on our Patreon as exclusives for our dear patrons. Our Patreon is already an incredible deal and it's about to become a WILDLY INCREDIBLE DEAL. Maybe a return to the world of Umora wildly incredible? No maybe about it. And then, in the new year, Aabria takes the GM seat and takes YOU to space. OUTER SPACE THAT IS. Heard of it? It's where the moon is from! And if you believe it, there's even more headed your way.

WWW #54: There Is a Path and We are On It

Remember this when you wake up: The greedy, hungry awful things. Some small part of you will miss them. The lost letters, the old home movies, the people you put on the same path as you, the dumb and silent stars of the southern sky. One last show, and then I can't be here. Don't ever let me forget this: who to kiss, and who to kill.

WWW #53: The Queen of Swords

To make the new world, to free tomorrow from the clutches of not done, we must bury the old world, shove ourselves inside the bone white sand, and there meet ourselves and everyone we have known. A wizard in her tower, oh let down your hair. A wild one, his one foot out the door of the prison cell. And a witch astride the world, who simply cannot leave any door closed, any stone not flipped like a table in the temple. We are all the pallbearers of what was. Roll up your sleeves. It's time to clean up.
