Show Notes
Take to your stations and forge ahead - a signal has emerged from the waves and it guides us ever closer to the mysterious source of the growing rootquakes. What awaits us?
Welcome to Risky Standard - Voyage of the Verdigale. Voyage of the Verdigale is a weird-fantasy adventure story set atop the strange and vibrant ocean of treetops known as the Wildsea. It follows the journeys of a research vessel called the Verdigale and its crew as they sail the emerald waves on a mission of exploration and discovery. Along the way they’ll encounter the sentient plants, restless spirits, living storms, and relics of a distant past that populate the bizarre and ever-shifting world of the Wildsea. Risky Standard is an actual play podcast featuring a rowdy group of best friends telling stories together through the medium of tabletop roleplaying games. We like to showcase independently published and small press games, to shape unique and original fictions with a focus on compelling character dynamics and thoughtful, lived-in science-fantasy worldbuilding.
This season we’re playing The Wildsea by Felix Isaacs, a ‘post-fall fantasy tabletop roleplaying game set in a rampant ocean of verdant green’ published by Mythworks.
