Relaod your three-bladed sword, get comfortable in your studded leather kirtle or chainmail bikini, and fire up the wizard van, it’s about to get weird! I am playing a solo game of Swords & Wizardry: a remake of the original 1974 Dungeons & Dragons and a few other classic TTRPGs. I play the game and then turn it into a weird psychedelic sword 7 sorcery story for your enjoyment.

A summary of the first 10 episodes of Swords Against Madness. Miria, a space-faring smuggler crash-lands on the world of Orbus, near the Island of Nar. Nar is a poor former colony of a failed Oligarchy full of conflict between its two religions, and is plagued by seeming indestructible monsters.
