Amirite!). Then as a reward they find a very powerful and dangerous object just waiting for them in the maw of a cave....

This episode serves as a Podcasts of Waterdeep Episode 10.5, an epilogue to Zabi and Kwai’s Episode 10 escapades and some of the fallout the Xanathar’s downfall causes.

North By North Quest - Episode 00 [Welcome] - Don't Panic
play

12/31/16 • 2 min

However you found your way here, whichever realm you hale from, or whatever alignment you've chosen - welcome to North by North Quest.

NxNQ - a show that champions the belief that good stories make you feel things. So we aim to do just that - set out on this adventure using dnd5e mechanics to add randomness to where the story takes us and lets see where it goes...

Quick Notes for the New Listener:

  • If you want a relatively stand alone episode to get the flavor of the show, its pacing, and the characters, try our Wizards of the Coast "Podcasts of Waterdeep" event Episode 70.
    • The story is canon yet built as a one shot taking place in Waterdeep.
    • It's the perfect example to see if our brand of storytelling and dnd gets you excited!
  • If you want a jump in point - Volume 3 (Episode 74) begins with a frantic, goofy, yet informative recap of "Our Story So Far" to help the new listener jump in partway through and quickly get up to speed!
  • The main story begins in Episode 7 (Volume 1).
  • Leading up to the grand beginning, we build up to it with:
    • Episodes 1-3: Short, individual origins episodes giving you a quick taste of the backgrounds from where our main adventurers came!
    • Episode 4: The party comes together and is called to adventure!
    • Episodes 5-6: a prologue story that is the deep breath before the major adventure begins!
