FINALE DROP ALERT!

All five episodes of "The Shiron Incident" are now available for your listening pleasure - wherever you get your podcasts!

https://jandersonbreffords.podbean.com/

Have fun, and DM us if Penny got you to cry!

06/08/2024

Thanks for your patience!

FINALE UPDATE: Penny has been hard at work - instead of doing one ep at a time like normal, the final arc has been one HUGE 15-hour edit, and has taken more than seven times the work that ep drops normally do 😅

Please expect a finale release THIS MONTH - all five episodes of "The Shiron Incident" (including a triple-length episode 69) should be up before the end of August!

All of us really enjoyed recording the end of our show - we hope you get some of the same joy out of it when you hear it for yourself ♡

Nearly four years since we first got together to have our session zero and giggle about Dungeons and Dragons Only With Day Jobs, this week we hit 5000 downloads of JBPC

Thanks so much to everyone who has given our story a go... we're excited to deliver an absolutely banger ending!

Episode 62 out now - Big things are going down!


Devilry! Duplicity! Dance Partners!

Our work trip to fix paper production has gotten all wrapped up in family drama, and things are spiraling out of what a mediated conflict resolution meeting can repair! The forestry machine is coming, and when it arrives the King of the elves means to lay down the law... for good!

But something is lingering just beyond our line of sight... what are those black shapes we saw sneaking around? How did Master Speck's master plan fall apart so easily? And why would the goliaths bring the machine here when we haven't had time to report back?

Our Last Hope jumps from twist to turn, and some familiar faces are about to resurface. Join us, as we barrel toward the answers we crave!

Episode 61 out now! Our Last Hope is kicking it up a notch or three!

---

Garden Grandness! Family Feuds! Actual Anagnorisis!

Master Speck has hitched a lift, and we all know what this means - it's time to watch out for shenanigans! The Away Team (with one aforementioned wandering hero in tow) have come all the way to the Manafei Forest to get parchment production moving again - but as always, magic is afoot and nothing is going to be simple!

A secret society lies beyond the border, and the party is about to learn some uncomfortable truths. Who laid down the threshold, and what is it protecting? Which team member will uncover a mystery long thought impossible? And perhaps most pressing - can we really trust the hovering elf?

Answers lie dead ahead, treasured audience. Are you ready to face them?

New episode drop - Smoko 8 is out now!

Friends! Family! Ex-coworkers!

With the events of The Wish Scroll behind them, our favourite Parchment Company Employees can finally take five and catch their breath. Or they should be able to do that, but they have a 9am meeting with Janderson that might not go particularly well....

Flynn owns a mistake, and speaks his heart. Karen uncovers a shortcut, and gives some advice. Frankie receives a delivery, and confronts a flaw. Idopher handles an invitation, and makes a memory.

Ready yourselves friends, because we're taking Smoko for the last time. From here on out, it's all hard yards and cashing stacks - but this narrator thinks the team is up for the challenge. The only question is... do you?

Episode 58 - The Finale of the Wish Scroll - Out Now!

Ruin! Revalation! The Rebirth of a Nation!

When everything is gone, all you have left is each other. Flynn, Idopher, Frankie, Karen and Silver are all that remains, with only one place left to go. At the end, we return to where it started.

Even though we find ourselves in a drastically different world, some things will never change. Flynn will always be our brave salesman. Idopher will always be cunning. Frankie will always be the cleverest boy in the room. Karen will always be our bossy mother hen. And Doctor Xergohs will always be beneath our feet, scheming to get his way...

Our alternate-universe heroes are almost home free - their victory is only a mad dash across the plaza away! It would take a small army to stop us - and luckily the emperor's men are busy... right?

CEO Karen Stonecutter, was having a pretty normal day, until ruthless weapons manufacturer Flynvar Onagon came to visit her in her office and started talking crazy talk. But he seems to know some things he shouldn't, and she has no choice but to trust him for now.

Meanwhile, wunderkind Professor Francis Reynolds was keeping an engagement with the emperor, where he met vivacious fashion model Idopher Belser... and their days got a little bit turned on their heads.

Have you ever woken up and things just feel off? You can't quite put your finger on it, but something's different. Flynnvar Onagon is feeling a but like that today, only everything's totally normal.

There's probably no reason to even listen to this one. Who wants to hear a podcast about Yamir City's foremost weapons manufacturer going about his regular, albeit terrible inhumane business day? That doesn't sound exciting at all.
