Re-discover the amazing story of the 1999 cult classic - Planescape: Torment.
A fully voiced re-telling of the game's story with a modern take and narrative drive.
I hope to follow on from Rhyss Hess' example in lovingly creating an homage to this wonderful story, that aims to allow new and existing fans to enjoy the narrative in an episodical, fully voiced, unofficial audio series. I will be mostly using Dan Simpson's in-depth guide to cover as much content as possible in one single playthrough.
This series began as a way to challenge and stretch my voice over and audio editing capabilities; and since, has become a vast passion project where I re-experience one of my all-time favourite stories, bringing renewed life to the beautifully written characters.

Sin City meets Constantine.
Monsters lurk among us.
The tattooed magician Evan Wexler and his werewolf partner V spend their nights prowling a shadowy underbelly full of frenzied monsters and mad sorcerers. Working for the mysterious organization known only as the Madhouse, they struggle to contain the threat of the Gloom, a malevolent force that breathes life into humanity’s worst nightmares and can make a heart’s darkest desires come true.
But Madhouse isn't the only organization of magicians interested in the workings of the Gloom. Deep in the heart of Texas there is another, crueler cabal of occult sorcerers that seek the Gloom's dark power. An organization dedicated to unfathomable ambition. An organization ready to declare a shadow war against the Madhouse. An organization attempting to bend reality to its will.
This is The 100 Handed.

It is March, 1915 in France, and just behind the front lines a woman is running for her life. She does not run from enemy soldiers or falling mortars; a far more sinister creature stalks her, one created by bloodshed and black magic. This is the newest threat in a war growing uglier by the day, and it won't be the last. Or the worst.
But this woman is not a civilian. As a knight of the Order of Joan, she is only one of a legion of women with a long history of monster hunting. So when she runs, she does not do so blindly; it's all part of the larger plan.

There will also be more than the average amount of references to linguistics, 80s movies, and J.R.R. Tolkien. If any of that sounds vaguely interesting, then this is the podcast for you!

GRAND PRIZE WINNER of American Writing Awards 2024 Podcast of the Year!
Book version available HERE: https://a.co/d/aZMwgxg //
According to rumors going around the haunted town of Inniscombe, 17-year-old Porter Hollis is to blame for his mother’s crying sickness. What’s more, he’s been bewitched by the Neverseen, spirits haunting the forest who possess townsfolk’s bodies and steal their souls. Yet no one seems to know how or why the Neverseen came to afflict them. Written and narrated by Leah Noel, with special appearance by David Walker and original music by Miles Landrum and Laurelai, "The Innis Forgettance" is a fiction podcast that straddles timelines set in a 19th-century alternate Appalachia and faraway Celtic fort. Travel with Porter Hollis as he sets on a journey to untangle the lies of the past, and a spell woven of darkness and fear. Will he bring about Inniscombe’s deliverance... or its end? ┃ Support this podcast by sharing with your friends, posting on social media, or by clicking this link to buy me a coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/leahnoel

Hi!
I’m Fox Keyes.
Shortly after my fourteenth birthday, I was tricked into passing through an inter-dimensional gateway to a world called Dunari.
Years later, I’m still here.
And ready to talk about it.
From killer toilets to killer Spirit Storms, and just about everything in between, I will describe how I learned to survive living in another world.
This podcast is for creatives who think outside the box.
Perhaps you are a role-playing gamer searching for a unique character angle? Or maybe you’re a games master designing something cool. Or are you a world builder or author seeking inspiration to bring your unique, inner vision to life?
If so, my insights and experiences in Dunari may help.
Twice monthly, I will relate aspects of my life here, and provide context which may help you world build.
