Ep.16 Politics and Poker Faces
10/29/24 • 188 min
Arriving in Yannick, the team encounters the House of Learned Friends—a university where debates flourish and bureaucracy reigns supreme. Decisions are endlessly delayed, tangled in red tape and philosophical arguments. But the source of the standstill is clear: one individual, burdened by a dangerous gambling debt. To uncover the truth, will they choose to roll the dice and join the game?
Natural Six are Harry McEntire, Doug Cockle, Ben Starr, Hollie Bennett, Alex Jordan and Aoife Wilson.

Action Surge Episode 15
We’re back with some exciting discussions in this episode of Action Surge! Now that we can finally play music during our sessions (it’s no longer just added in post-production), we explore how it completely transforms the atmosphere in the room. We talk about how Harry composed The Gloam theme, and yes, that’s him singing too! We also unpack the ultimate spoon moment, the purity of gift-giving, and how carefully placed truths help drip-feed backstory. Lastly, we dive into the challenge of balancing encounters, and why, as a DM, Harry creates a world where victory is possible—turns out, he’s not always trying to kill us!
Action Surge is Natural Six's fortnightly post-show debrief, where Dungeon Master Harry and the cast break down their favourite moments, their regrets, and any theories from the Dungeons and Dragons session they've just played, as well as adding their thoughts and hopes for future play.

Action Surge Episode 16
Hail and well-met, traveler—welcome to Action Surge!
In today's episode, we delve into the art of quick game-switching, as Harry effortlessly shifts from dice to cards, and explores the fast-paced creation of Iago. We also dive into the "Casino Royale" of it all, where Elli's bankrolling might hit a snag if the team’s spending spree continues. Along the way, we tackle note-taking, how our brains do (or don’t) cooperate at the table, and naturally, this merry band of mischief-makers has plenty to say about morality.
