What are the Iron Archives?

I've been working on a Dungeons and Dragons related project since the end of 2018. Essentially it is a podcast series of a roleplaying game adventures set in the world of Mendria.

What is Mendria? Well it is a fantasy world created by our Dungeon Master DJ. One of the great things about Dungeons and Dragons is that players can take the basics of the fantasy world presented in the game and then add, remove or just completely change how they want it to work in their game. DJ created his own map, history, races and cultures for his game. I started playing the game in late 2017 and had a blast with it up to its conclusion at the end of of 2018.

DJ was running two games at the time and asked players from both games to join him for his podcast project. I thought it sounded like fun and became one of cast. We got to create new characters and play an  adventure that occurred many years before the series we had just wrapped up. So items, characters and events we had heard about in his previous campaign came to life in this one.

This was a short series, four episodes. The players were tasked with creating characters who were hunting down a dangerous and desperate assassin in an isolated land. Our job was to find him and kill him. These are brutal times, and justice was by the sword.

This was a lot of fun to play, and although there are a few recording hiccups along the way, I think the final product came out pretty darn good. But you can now check it out for yourself.
