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 ’No Anthem’, using Apocalypse World: Burned Over.
Desperate Attune is Zoheb (Klow), Soumithri (tree), salty, Holly and Aadiyat (Soap).
What is the past and future of Convergence Valley?
A world was burned, and burned again. Burned again. In Convergence Valley, civilization was preserved by the Knights -- but at what cost? And now that the Knights have faced their own apocalypse, what comes after them?
This is our third season, using Vicent and Meguey Baker's Apocalypse World: Burned Over. Follow the survivors of Convergence Valley as they explore the mysteries of the Valley and strive to build its future.
Hosted by Holly, starring Soumithri (tree), Zoheb (Klow), salty, and Aadiyat (Soap).

The crew gear up to go meet the Cholmondoleys, but first they have a nice meal and good bonding-time in a cave with a supernatural fire burning in the heart of it. They then meet an old friend in the desert and make whole new friends and challenge them to honourable fisticuffs. All in a day's work for the Rising Moon.
