Interlude: Alf Gappen Was Here

Worlds Beyond Number ·

2025/12/09

In the frozen hills of Rhuv, the Sigrunsgjalfi Children’s Home sits silent beneath a sky of unfamiliar stars. No lights glow in the windows and no signs of celebration mark the coming of Alf Gappen’s Day. Yet in the stillness, a single sleeping child hums a quiet tune that carries impossibly far across the snow. Three spirits hear it and cross the tundra to a place stripped of joy, determined to bring warmth and wonder. We are:Brennan Lee MulliganErika IshiiAabria IyengarLou WilsonProduced by Taylor

Fiasco! (Part Two)

Worlds Beyond Number ·

2025/11/25

Our fiasco continues—Italian style! Can the Holy Trinity escape Heaven in time for the wedding? How are they possibly paying for all those chicken taters? And will a tiny pistachio man derail everything? One thing’s for sure: sometimes all you need for nuptial dreams to come true are your lungs, your heart, and a mostly-intact spinal cord.This is Fiasco! — our first video podcast and a GM-less free-for-all. Join us as we plan a wedding, face sworn enemies, and fully embrace chaos.Watch the video on

Fiasco! (Part One)

Worlds Beyond Number ·

2025/11/11

A simple chicken-tater-funding contract goes horribly wrong when our heroes paraglide straight into hell. Dodging revenge plots, subteranean fish stomachs, and a devil with very specific terms, they just might make it to the altar… if they survive.This is Fiasco! — our first video podcast and a GM-less free-for-all.

Interlude: Fortune Found

Worlds Beyond Number ·

2025/10/28

The forgotten town of Fortune's Fields lies in the shadow of a mesa. Desert winds stir across the Free Roads, carrying the low, mournful calls of jackals. The streets lie quiet, sun-bleached and cracked, littered with the remnants of shops and abandoned homes. Across the train tracks, half-buried in sand and shadow, a mine shaft waits, its mouth dark and inviting. Fortune is found only by those desperate enough to follow it into the unknown.We are:Brennan Lee MulliganErika IshiiAabria IyengarLou

HINT! ep4: Just Deserts

Worlds Beyond Number ·

2025/10/14

And now, for our final course, the denouement. But how will it end? In confession? In violence? In the cold precision of a sickly sweet poison pill, or the white hot bite of black widow? Perhaps. The only things guaranteed in this, our final curtain call, are the same things that are always guaranteed to grow from the soil of spilled blood: lawyers, guns, and money.We are:Brennan Lee MulliganErika IshiiAabria IyengarLou WilsonHINT! was designed and edited by Kate Sanders at Fortunate HorseSPECIAL

HINT! ep3: Will They, Won't They

Worlds Beyond Number ·

2025/09/30

Our interlocutors do as the Romans do and pipe up, sweating through their first interrogation, but Cass finds himself in the cruelest court of all when his paper trail leads the way to new suspicions and old desperations. Not even a nice liberal government can save you from some things, like the smoking, still-warm barrel of a gun.We are:Brennan Lee MulliganErika IshiiAabria IyengarLou WilsonHINT! was designed and edited by Kate Sanders at Fortunate HorseSPECIAL THANKS TO: Shannon, Melanie, Amanda

HINT! ep2: Hate the Player

Worlds Beyond Number ·

2025/09/16

As blood pools upon the thick pile of the Boddie Estate's imported rug collection, our players, and the game, are afoot. Bodies on the move in voluminous pants and long, dark secret hallways. Revelations and aspersions fill the air of the mansion like fingers between the keys of a grand piano, like a sky-darkening murmuration of starlings, as our heroes begin to uncover the culprit behind this murder most...fowl.We are:Brennan Lee MulliganErika IshiiAabria IyengarLou WilsonHINT! was designed and

WWW #53: The Queen of Swords

Worlds Beyond Number ·

2025/07/29

Remember this when you wake up: The greedy, hungry awful things. Some small part of you will miss them. The lost letters, the old home movies, the people you put on the same path as you, the dumb and silent stars of the southern sky. One last show, and then I can't be here. Don't ever let me forget this: who to kiss, and who to kill.

Worlds Beyond Number ·

2025/07/15

To make the new world, to free tomorrow from the clutches of not done, we must bury the old world, shove ourselves inside the bone white sand, and there meet ourselves and everyone we have known. A wizard in her tower, oh let down your hair. A wild one, his one foot out the door of the prison cell. And a witch astride the world, who simply cannot leave any door closed, any stone not flipped like a table in the temple. We are all the pallbearers of what was. Roll up your sleeves.

This is our endeavor. To blade! To tongue! To plow! To grind our name into the bones of tomorrow, until the horizon is lucid smooth as liquid mirror, sharp as cut glass, clear as cool water rising, Irrigating in our throats the dry river bed of ambition. A witch in the gut of the tower. A wild one embraced by blood. A wizard in the court of the sword. All days divided into the days before and the days after, like the two sides of a shut window of black glass. We are:Brennan Lee MulliganErika

Everything that rises must converge. In the gloaming, where the tide of one world washes and runs across the sands of another, we pass through the center of things like a gate, like a river, like the sea of the sky, champions on parade at the crossroads, a place we know, a place we find familiar, before the night, as it ever does, arrives.
