About this listen

 Four amateur writers and professional university students gather cautiously in whatever room is available so that they might tell tales of woe, legend and general silliness. Graduation looms, but through the magic of TTRPG systems (how original), we have countless stories to unleash from their parchment prisons. It's how they did it in the old days my pilgrims, but with a lot more dice and mathematics. Our first campaign: "Tales of Tanamai" stars Billy Nicholls as Gwerxos, Kit Oliver as Possibly Mortimer, Elias Weaver as Mabel Mortimer and Ted Collins as the Storyteller.Ted, Elias, Billy and Kit

    Tales of Tanamai #14: "Mabel"
    Sep 14 2025

    Brace yourself.


    Glass has won, he's taken a Mortimer's magic, left her sundered in the astral realm and fled to The Undercroft. It's up to Sibly, Gwerxos, Brian, Eka and Clemency to realign Mabel with her body.


    As for the arcane heart in her chest that Glass so desires? That's up to the Tinker of Tanamai herself. And it won't be easy to defend. Memories repressed and horrors profound await her. It's a fight for the soul, a fight for her fate, a fight for the future of Tanamai.


    This is going to hurt.


    Featuring Kit Oliver as Possibly Mortimer, Elias Weaver as Mabel Mortimer, Billy Nicholls as Gwerxos and Ted Collins as Ellitha Mortimer.

    A soul for a soul

    The tempest revolves

    In black bile shadow

    The hunger evolves

    Peer through the putrid glass

    Where desolation rolls

    Old sands sing older songs:

    Salas Uthero

    Salas Uthero.


    Featuring Kit Oliver as Possibly Mortimer, Elias Weaver as Mabel Mortimer, Billy Nicholls as Gwerxos and Ted Collins as BEINGS BEYOND COMPREHENSION.
