Drawn from the Undertow🏳️‍⚧️

Drawn from the Undertow is an actual-play podcast currently playtesting Threadspinner, the RPG about questing for meaning in the afterlife and drawing maps along the way! Our official campaigns explore this premise from three angles: fantasy adventure, urban intrigue, and a bug civilization!

Following the dragon's destruction, a new Arcana reshapes the region. The Church of the Coiling Vine seizes the opportunity to reclaim its former power.

It's a new day in Blood City. Emboldened by their victory over the vampire cartel, the citizens of the impoverished district begin working toward a new vision of the future. But with more zeal than sense, the new organization taking control might cause more problems than it solves.

I highly recommend Downtown to anyone who enjoyed Eidolon ADULT!

Threadspinner is designed to be a meaner and more mechanically involved game than EIDOLON... and sometimes that means overwhelming Zoe.

The party confronts the wounded dragon in the hopes of brokering peace and lifting the Coqueral Sea's curse. When mere words prove insufficient, they're forced to uncover the nature of the great beast. In the shelter of an underwater cathedral, our heroes recuperate with some much-needed levity.

The first episode of Eidolon FLASHBACK released a year and two weeks and a half ago! It's a great time to flash back to the time-traveling supervillain comedy miniseries inspired by music released prior to 1970!

A new draft of Threadspinner is available now! Major changes include: - Artifacts can now be used freely. - The Dream Interpreter has been reworked into The Demoted, a disgraced Threadspinner with storytelling powers. - Christen allows Threaded to bestow new Names, altering the nature of Awoken.

As the Sage of Wind and Shadow, Xalatan is something of a showman. So what better way for Ty to pay tribute to his powerful and dramatic wizard than to make a playlist filled with showtunes? Listen to the playlist here: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This month, each Threadspinner Playtest campaign will have resolved the first Governing Arcana of their second region, which means you'll get to see each region transform in response to the actions of the Threaded! Next month, there's a good chance that we'll see our first Revenants. 😈

The Threaded delve deeper into the Lingual Labyrinth. Hostile creatures hide around every corner, and the further they delve, the more bizarre the secrets become.

Every campaign of this show has an early episode where I can feel the whole thing clicking into place, the themes of the story finding alignment with the roleplaying of the cast as the characters solidly come into their own This is that episode for FLAME

Xalatan: "Out here casting my best spells." Thistle: "Violet is drowning" Xalatan: "This ain't about her"

The party continues to search the boiling sea for the source of the eternal storm, and Violet is forced to confront further abuses done in the name of her goddess. She finds herself butting heads with Thistle and Xalatan, who do not share her reverence.

Sorry folks, due to technical difficulties SPARK #5 will be delayed until Tuesday! As an apology bonus, here's a sneak preview of the next great Threadspinner FLAME map from Ty!

It's the 1st anniversary of Eidolon ROMANCE! Listen to @zoewithasword.bsky.social's tabletop miniseries about survivors of an irradiated wasteland fighting for a better tomorrow, even if they won't live to see it!

In the depths of the Threadspinner's Guild lies a chamber stuffed with stacks upon stacks of old books, chewed through by bugs hungry for the powerful knowledge within their pages. The Threaded search for the key to their quest somewhere within this unending labyrinth.

In a fit of hyperfixation, Iris has created a playlist inspired by the Dreaming life of Syr Violet of the Coiling Vine. Now Crystal, Maxie and Ty are joining her to talk about how each song makes them feel and reveal moments from their own lives the music seems to speak to!

Here is Lexi's map of Verdanda, drawn in-character by the Aphid Whizzers!

It never stops raining, and the rain is scaldingly hot. This is the first thing the Threaded notice as they enter the Coqueral Sea, a Sun region dotted with islands hosting the remnants of a Magnolia-worshipping civilization.

Each time one of the Threadspinner Playtest campaigns finishes a region, Luke asks one of the cast members to draw a map as a memento! First up is Ty's rendition of The Mylor Plutocracy:

The Threaded wade through a neighborhood drowned in blood in search of an oppressed people to liberate.
