Hi everyone,
Really glad there's an actual play forum now. If you've not listened to us before then I wanted to introduce The Danger Club Podcast to you.
We're a UK based weekly actual play show with 6 voice actors sitting in a studio in an old Georgian mansion in East London, playing Pathfinder. We started in PF1 and converted the campaign to PF2 last summer.
Rather than playing a single AP we're playing modules and tying them together to form one epic story, the idea is to have a show that feels like the campaigns you play at home. So far we've done Murder's Mark, Godsmouth Heresy, Fall of Plaguestone and we're just rounding off Masks of the Living God. We also do some one shots, interviews and early plays of new content (new ancestries etc).
We have high quality sound and full SFX and music for every ep. We also once fought the Kaer Maga postal service. New 1hr eps drop every Monday on iTunes, Google, Spotify, Youtube and everywhere else you might care to look for podcasts.
Here's our trailer if you want a sample: Danger Club Trailer.
We'd love to have you all along! :)
Episode 90: Starman Quest!
The Road to 100 is underway as The Club take on the Temple of Razmir! Having infiltrated the temple over several days, their cover has finally been blown and it's time to throw down! The people of Tamran rise up, something horrible happens to the winner of our name an NPC competition and a man falls to Earth! Ground control to major trouble!
Episode 91: The One Who Bangs!
The Club enter the upper levels of the Church of Razmir and are faced with many doors, no keys and a dwarf who doesn't know when the quit!
Episode 92: Chase And Status Effects
After months of tracking, The Club finally have Freya Axeborn cornered. But is everything exactly as it seems? We play with chase mechanics and roof running!
Episode 92 - Chase And Status Effects (Masks Of The Living God).
Episode 93 - Silver Linings dd
After the explosive events of the previous episode who will be left standing? And do the Club finally have enough evidence to bring the cult down for good?
Episode 94 - What Comes Nex
We bid farewell to Masks of the Living God as the Club's eyes turn to the city of Absalom. The quest for information on what the Shard is has already brought them one shock and it's about to bring them an even bigger one.
Episode 95 - The Wind In The Shallows
The Club undertake an epic voyage to the city at the center of the world! The journey to Absalom will not only be long but also filled with deadly perils, jacked halflings and suspicious plumbing.
Episode 96 - A Snitch And Time
Absalom, the city at the center of the world! The Club have arrived in the largest city in the Inner Sea in search of the Pathfinder Society. They're looking for information about the Shard, but first they need to learn more than they wanted to know about Beelzeboob.
Hi
I‘m just queuing this up and am wondering where I should start. I’m keen to find some 2E podcasts, so was thinking about jumping in where you began those. However, did you convert characters over? If you did I should probably start at the beginning...
Any advice?
Hi Steve,
We started in PF1 and converted As soon as 2e came out last year. If you just want the 2nd Edition eps then they start from Ep 67. But we also have the Fall of Plaguestone playthrough which ran a few weeks before that over Gencon weekend.
It's all one story though so you'll definitely get more out of it if you start from the beginning
The Audio isn't perfect in the first handful of eps but it picks up really quickly (plus there's a weird Elephant guy in the early eps who's pretty fun).
Glad to have you along. :)
Episode 97 - The Miseducation Of Pumpy Scrips
We dive into the birdseedy world of Tengu music this week. The Club's resident bard has a score to settle with the woman who broke his heart and ruined his band, but here new muse has more than a couple of things to say about it.
Episode 97 - The Miseducation Of Pumpy Scrips (Pathfinder 2e).
The Audio isn't perfect in the first handful of eps but it picks up really quickly (plus there's a weird Elephant guy in the early eps who's pretty fun).
Early episodes get a pass from me when it comes to audio quality. I usually listen to the first half dozen and if it’s still terrible then skip to episode fifty. Provided people have sorted out teething problems after a year, I’m happy (they always have!) then I go back to the early episodes confident things will improve. :)
I’ll start at episode one and go from there. Cheers!
Episode 98 - Songbird
Bubba faces down his musical rival in a battle to see who is the bigger Tengu! Meanwhile Beelzeboob's quest to win the approval of his new party reaches desperate heights and The Club have a second brush with the world of Dark retail!
Not guest staring Wynsal Starborn, Acting Primarch of Absalom.
I'm a few episodes in and very much enjoying it (a refreshing change to hear an actual play podcast without American accents!)
The sound quality is great - I was amused to hear the party rattle off their alignments: Chaotic Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, Chaotic Neutral.... Yep, that tracks. ;)

Thanks Steve. Glad you're enjoying it! There's a bit of clarifying on the alignments as it goes along but everyone started off from a fairly similar place.
Episode 99 - Danger Clubbing
The Road to 100 is almost up and The Club celebrate by hitting up Absalom's club scene. We learn some things about Velder and Beelzeboob has a concerning encounter. Then things get really weird...

Thank you to Paizo for having us as part of this year's convention.
Lockdown Legends 7 - Die Me A River
We keep playing with the Gamemastery Guide as Beelzeboob and his band of level 0 characters face the toughest test of their adventure so far: The Arboretum Arcanis!
Before they can proceed further they'll need to cross a raging torrent of water with only a rope, a crossbow and a lot of bad ideas.
Lockdown Legends 8 - The Joy Of Sax
It's our last week playing with the Gamemastery Guide. Sleep deprivation sets in during our first late night recording session and Danger Club Nights is born!
Beelzeboob and his level 0 friends are within touching distance of Beldrin's Tower and a route to safety. All that stands in their way is a giant mushroom, a big fist and the general hopelessness of their entire situation!

Lockdown Legends 9 - Breakfast Of Champions (With Jessica Fostekew).
I’m still plugging away from the beginning. Good to know I’ve got so much goodness to come.
Thanks!

Pretty near the start. Just at the end of Murders Mark (episode 20-ish?)
Definitely feels like it’ll be one of those podcasts that gets added to the “listen to every episode” pile. It does mean I’m going to be a year or two behind for...well a year or two, probably. :)

Oh you've got some great stuff to come! I'll say nothing!
If you want to chat with other Dangerlings (I'm not sure if you're up to the point where the listeners started calling themselves Dangerlings yet) then we've got a lovely community on our Discord channel.. .
Lockdown Legends 11 - Right Azraine (With Naomi From Power Word Roll)
Naomi from Power Word Roll joins us for a brand new Lockdown Legends story!
Hundreds of years ago, deep below the earth, a drama is playing out that will shape the very origins of the Danger Club. This is a story about a mother, a child, a goblin who thinks he's a Drow and a lot of songs. Welcome to Umberweb!
Lockdown Legends 11 - Right Azraine (With Naomi From Power Word Roll).
We did something a little crazy this week. Since it was Free RPG Day, we got up early, went to our local store and grabbed a copy of Little Trouble In Big Absalom. Then we head back home and recorded a playthough of it for release the same day. If you'd like to hear the mad adventures of a group of Kobolds then you're in for a treat!
Lockdown Legends 12 - Climb After Climb
Our adventure in the Darklands continues as Shania and her oddball family delve deep into the earth in search of the Sightless Sea. Nalas has a nasty slip, Nebastian makes an enemy and Ka'Ren brings the noise.
Lockdown Legends 12 - Climb After Climb (Archaeology In Aspenthar).
Lockdown Legends 13 - Golem In The Deep
Shania and her friends come face to face with an ancient Dwarven monstrosity! Only quick thinking, quick feet and a bit of Kung Fu can save them.
Lockdown Legends 13 - Golem In The Deep (Archaeology In Aspenthar).
I think my favourite thing (after thirty something episodes) is the group dynamic/camaraderie. The guys really consistently play well off each other - there’s a fair bit of mockery but the target usually enjoys it as much as everyone else.
I’m looking forward to catching up (and listening to you branch out into some other games/characters). Granted it’s still a ways off!
You'll get there Steve. The thirties is where it starts getting really interesting!
In the meantime we have yet another episode out!
Lockdown Legends 14 - The Baby-Sitters Club
In the final part of our Darklands series, the Drow chart a course across the Sightless Sea. Nalas learns the truth about his family and Shania must make a terrible choice.
Lockdown Legends 14 - The Baby-Sitters Club (Grehunde’s Gorget).
Episode 50, finished...
By the way, Dan - I'm sure the scars have healed by now but just got to the bit in Godsmouth Heresy where the internet collectively lampooned you for holding the guys to account when they forgot who had given them their quest and even what the quest actually was.
FWIW, I thought it played out well and was by default the correct call as everyone at the table seemed to enjoy it. I suspect you were too hard on yourself in the way you phrased it on your 'request for feedback'. Plus there's a difference between games-for-an-audience and games-at-home, in my opinion.
Anyhow - I thought it was funny and suited both the characters and the story down to the ground. On to the next story arc. :)

Thanks Steve! Facebook really came at me for that one but it was worth it.
You are officially half way because:
Episode 100 Part 1 - Return To Plaguestone
The Road To 100 finally ends! As a dwarf rides north to solve one murder, a man is lying in wait to avenge another. Together and with a little help, perhaps both of them can find answers in the cursed village of Plaguestone!
Episode 100 Part 2 - In Spite Of It All
The Danger Club, Sickwolf and The Goodun Avengers unite for the first time as they set out to hunt down the people who killed Folton's brother. Their target is the foreboding fortress of Spite's Cradle!
Episode 100 Part 3 - Rapid Response
Folton finally comes face to face with the person behind his brother's murder, but getting past her bodyguard will take some very creative tactics.
I guess this thread is just me and Dan, BUT if anyone sticks their head in here and haven’t yet looked into the Danger Club I would thoroughly recommend it.
It’s one of the best out there, imo. Glass Cannon Podcast and Critical Role level of entertainment. Great sound quality, group chemistry, story development, characters....it includes my single favourite moment of Actual Play Podcasting of all time.
I loved the early stuff, but I think it really got going after the first twenty or so episodes. Since then it’s just week after week of superb quality content. <3
Thanks Steve, it's great having you in the community. :)
Episode 100 Part 4 - The Fall Of Plaguestone
We return to Danger Towers for the first time in 6 months to record in person!
Sickwolf and co. race to stop the destruction of Plaguestone, Folton makes peace with the past and everything changes forever!

Episode 100 Part 6 - Dead Men Walking
In the heart stopping final part of episode 100, the heroes race to find the shard and escape The Whispering Tyrant's fortress before it's too late. Can they make it home and will any of them be the same again?
Episode 101 - Together (The Slithering)
Old friends and new beginnings as Sickwolf come face to face with The Danger Club. Who will go with who? What will everyone's next move be? Just how many voices can one group of players do in a single episode?
Who will go with who?
They'll obviously divide into two groups with one player's PC in each right?
I mean only a fool would send both their characters off together...
