Paizo Partners with FANTASTIC WORLDS to Create New PATHFINDER Podcast THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!
Paizo has teamed up with Fantastic Worlds Productions to create a new, officially licensed actual-play podcast for roleplaying fans to enjoy. Called The Greatest Show on Earth!, the new podcast will feature Jess Negin serving as the GM for Abbie Lammel, Angel Espinoza, and Logan Mayne-Rizzi as they play through the circus-themed Extinction Curse Adventure Path in Pathfinder Second Edition. The crew at Fantastic Worlds will still be continuing their other podcast set in the Reign of Winter Adventure Path with Dustin Alexander serving as DM for the group, but now it’s officially licensed.
Aaron Shanks of Paizo said:
We know many Pathfinder players are roleplaying game enthusiasts and many play multiple games—regardless of the edition. And it is always more impactful to see or hear people having fun with your product than to tell people it’s fun; show, don’t tell. So Paizo welcomes the experienced, diverse voices of Fantastic Worlds Productions and we can’t wait to see what stories they tell next!
I’ve gone ahead and included synopses and links to the introduction episodes for both podcasts below for you to check out. New episodes will launch on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and anywhere else that you get podcasts every 2 weeks.
Fantastic Worlds
It has been a century since the immortal witch Baba Yaga last visited the world, and the hour draws nigh for her return. But when she fails to appear in the frozen realm of Irrisen to usher in its newest ruler, pockets of winter begin to grow throughout the Inner Sea. After 1,400 years of perpetual winter, the icy curse of Irrisen is spreading! What links do these strange blizzards and swaths of wintry landscapes have with Irrisen, and is there any truth to the growing rumors that the Witch Queen Elvanna has taken full control of the realm? Can her plans for the Inner Sea be thwarted, or will the Reign of Winter engulf the world?
The Greatest Show on Earth!
Come one, come all! See how humble performers, thrust on to the world stage become reluctant leaders of the Circus of Wayward Wonders all due to that most wicked of schemes — sudden tragedy. Listen as these heroes rise to the occasion and lead their motley band of performers and roustabouts around the glittering Isle of Kortos, breeding grounds of equal part mystery and misery! But watch out heroes! Gasp in shock and awe as a sinister plot to exterminate life from the Starstone Isle threatens to blight the land and extinguish the shining light that is our heroes’ very livelihood!
The dead god Aroden, seemingly vanished but never forgotten, rises up through his legacy that lives on as those that he fought against! Be transfixed in terror as old enemies, bitter beasts lie imbued with frightening might seek to destroy the wonders Aroden raised from the sea! Lights hit the stage! The curtain is drawn! Spectacle meets savagery as our heroes race against an unknown ticking clock! Time waits for no one, and no one can waste any time when it comes to our heroes’ task: stop the Extinction Curse!
