Off the southern coast of Galyria, a mysterious island has appeared seemingly out of thin air. Undeterred by this suspicious addition to their maps, an anonymous bankroller has chartered Armada Captain Daria D’Ebonair and her ship, the Hand in Hand, to investigate and chart the landmass. Captain D’Ebonair is joined by the hot-shot celestialist Bartimaeus Nemo and an eclectic group of adventurers from around The Archipelago... Welcome to Roll Dice and Cry’s Introductory episode! In this episode, we’ll be doing some world building and introducing the characters of our Dungeon World campaign, titled “On The Shoulders of Giants.”

Water laps lazily onto the Hand in Hand’s bow as it sails through placid waters towards the shores of an island that should not be there. It’s quiet out here in the dark, and most of its crew slumbers below deck, wanting to be well rested before landfall. But abovedeck, some still restlessly stir, unable or unwilling to let the embrace of night drift them to dreamland. Five adventurers—our stories’ heroes—swap stories with each other to pass the midnight hours. They’ll be getting to know one another, forming opinions, and asking questions, but each of them has plenty to conceal, and nobody needs to be forthcoming. At least, not for now… This week on Roll Dice and Cry, we’ll be getting to know our main cast by playing Night Watch in the Ruins of the Future, a micro-game by D. Vincent Baker.

Gigantic stone monuments loom over the Hand in Hand as it makes it’s landfall. Our heroes are eager to explore the mysterious island, but it’s quiet-- too quiet-- and that has Daria D’ebonair spooked… This week on Roll Dice and Cry, we start our Dungeon World campaign proper!

Their only way back to the Hand in Hand blocked by a monstrous fish, our heroes have no choice but to venture deeper into the island. Bartimaeus Nemo is thrilled by every discovery they make, but as wild, untamed forests give way to more ancient structures and curious artifacts, the Expeditionary Force begins to wonder just what they've gotten themselves into...

While the rest of the Expeditionary Force investigates the citadel grounds, our heroes venture further into the structure itself. But there is more to this place than meets the eye, and echoes of the past wait around every corner...

This week on Roll Dice And Cry: what were their names?

Danger and mystery abound as the Expeditionary Force delves ever deeper into the strange, ancient citadel. But, as questions begin to pile up and our heroes' trust in Nemo begins to fray at the edges, who can say what they'll truly find at the end of this adventure?

This week, on Roll Dice And Cry: why us?

Enormous stone sarcophagi cast two thousand year old shadows over The Expeditionary Force in the deepest depths of the citadel. But even older dangers lurk within the hallowed halls of the Titans. Is this what Nemo has been so determined to find? And just how are our heroes expected to brave the horrors of the past?

Having survived their harrowing encounter in the bowels of the Bastion, our heroes find they’ve been given a rare and fleeting gift: time. Time to contemplate what they’ve been told, what they believe, and what their place in all this is. Nemo says it’s up to them to save the world, but do they even want a part in this? Do they have a choice? And just what can these Celestial Armature Frames do?
