Hero Adjacent: Daily Summaries Delivered
by QuasiReal Publishing
Hero Adjacent is an epic fantasy, genre-busting TTRPG Actual Play where four sort-of-but-not-really-heroes that the world doesn't need at all are thrust into a legendary quest they can't handle in a world much, much bigger than them. The podcast is put on by five certified D-list tabletop industry creators & voice actors. Four of us made a pretty popular space opera podcast called The Homebrew, three of us work in marketing for the worlds biggest tabletop and fantasy brands, two of us made Veil of the Eternal Night and MythCraft TTRPG, and one of us is Roger. We prioritize improv over planning, roleplay over mechanics, character development above all, we all know the rules pretty well, and the podcast is very, very lightly edited, presented as a real ACTUAL actual play, in all its messy table talk and google searches that admittedly have us on several lists.

E1 - When the Moon Hits the Sky
"A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it". Well, that was almost a really short podcast. The players find themselves thrust into a new world with heroes, otherworldly monsters, interplanar portals, and surprise impalements by pirate galleons captained by the undead. They must come together if they want any hope at all of surviving the desperate fight to the death set before them (it's just CR 1/8th goblins) ------Hero Adjacent is Grant Mielke, Andi Hadfield, Mike Kennel, Tyrell Nye, and Roger Perkey.Our community Manger is Cori Miller-Nye, Cover art by Andrea Suppa, Animations & Artwork by Sean Howard, Jibril Sy, & Racky,Support us on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/c/quasirealpublishing/membershipFollow us on social media @heroadjacentJoin the Discord at https://discord.gg/qrpublishingLearn more at heroadjacent.comHero Adjacent is a podcast by QuasiReal Publishing, an imprint of Vala Marketing.
