Desperate Attune
Desperate Attune is an actual play podcast about characters with their identities in peril, played by an international cast devoted to fiction-first gaming, collaborative worldbuilding and complex character drama. Our current campaign is ’House of Endings’, using Blades in the Dark and set in the demon-haunted city of U’duasha. Desperate Attune is Zoheb (Klow), Soumithri (tree), salty, Prince and Aadiyat (Soap).
Listen on:
Here open the doors to the House of Endings...
Their villages were proud, and they lived under the glow of their ancestors. The farmers of Kethrys have been uprooted by the inexorable engine of industry. Landless, they huddle in the filthy waterfront of U'duasha, the high-handed city that rules over their world. Here they exist on the meager hospitality of the noble houses and their Five Demon Princes.
In U'duasha the Five dwell. Five only.
They threw Prince Khattam into the wilderness, after it was done.
This is our second season, using John Harper's Blades in the Dark. Follow the Cult of the Ceaseless Wheel as the players defend their migrant community and discover their heritage -- or build it from whole cloth.
Hosted by Prince, starring Soumithri (tree), Zoheb (Klow), Emma, and Aadiyat (Soap).
