The Chimera

The Chimera, an actual play podcast

An actual play podcast in which old friends get together to tell strange stories. Dice are involved. In season one, The Old Bones, we follow an obsessive technophile and her crew of alien misfits--a bodyguard with a checkered past; a feline warrior and reluctant heretic; a disgraced lawyer bound to a mysterious mech; and a financial instrument with a mind of her own--as they explore the universe in search of purpose and profit, aboard an ancient starship with secrets of its own.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF HIATUS

2022/01/20

Hey friends, I am afraid the time has come to announce that we’re putting the show on an indefinite hiatus. I am simply not able to keep up with the production process at this time. We ARE going to record through the end of Gallows Hill, although I don’t know when or if we’ll be able to those episodes published. Our deepest thanks to everyone who’s listened to the show, our wonderful friends who recorded guest bits for us, and all the great folks we’ve met along the way. Track: Friends, 2018 Artist:
