A Delayed Episode

Greetings, Stowaways! A couple of short updates from us here at Flintlocks & Fireballs.

Unfortunately, we have had to delay release of the next episode by 1 week. One of our cast had their second covid jab the day before recording, and got absolutely knocked for six by vaccine side effects. They’re completely fine now, and significantly more covid-resistant (get jabbed if you can!), but we have had to delay recording our next episode for that reason.

Additionally, we will be taking a short break from the main story for a one-shot episode or two, featuring different characters and some short episodic adventures. That’s all for now, and we’ll be back on Tuesday the 24th with the next episode of Flintlocks & Fireballs!

Episode 150: Mercury & Memory

In which the party gain some insights into the past, while the future remains unclear.

Every fortnight on Flintlocks and Fireballs, join actors Robbie Bellekom (as Scamp), Sam Burns (as Corzin Horhace) and Ellie Sparrow (as Celestia Stardust) with Dungeon Master Jason Phelps for adventure in the Napoleonic world of Calcinea, a setting for 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons.

Hiatus Announcement

Hello Stowaways,
Unfortunately, here aboard the good ship Fair Seas, we’ve run aground on a few shallows of late. Nobody’s dead or seriously injured, don’t worry, but life has been hard and we’ve had to pull our vessel onto land to get some repairs in. Frankly, some tough times of late, including a personal crisis that has taken its toll, have left us all pretty buggered and we need some time to recover. Thus, quite unexpectedly, we are going to have to take the next month off as well. We’re going to rebuild our buffer, take on fresh rations and water, and hopefully return refreshed and renewed to continue with the campaign. We already recorded this week’s bonus content, so that will go up as planned, but then our next appearance will be on the 6th of July, returning to our three week on, one week off schedule as before.
For now, take care. We love you very much, and –
Fair seas, and natural 20s.

Democracy Hangs By A Thread!

Correspondent: Mssr A. Duval

The fate of Liberty teeters on a tightrope over an abyss of self-interest, aristocratic corruption and spineless concession on the part of the National Assembly. This pack of politicians stuffed with bankers, tax-collectors and ivory-tower intellectuals magnanimously decides what we, the people, should want and need. In their infinite and infallible wisdom, one week ago they signed a treaty snatching away many of the hard-won rights we earned by blood from the bishops and the dukes. This surrender bill will restore the estates of the upper crust, guarantee special ministerial positions for the church, guarantee positions on the judiciary for nobility and clergy, confirm Suul’s position as a lapdog of the “Holy Mother” in Tyre with a special investiture ceremony for the Assembly President, and finally it will release the aristos kept securely under lock and key in the capital.

The embattled representatives trying to fight for justice and liberty on our behalf were defeated by a slim majority of three, with intellectuals, factory-owners and bankers pushing through the surrender bill at the behest of a shrewish tief child, beguiling and confusing those not already corrupted with their forked tongue, a so-called ‘expert witness’ doing the talking for the wordless President Savat. Who knows what inducements or sorceries may have caused them to take such leave of their senses?

In three nights’ time, the genteel leeches will be spared from their just punishment and released from the city’s prisons. The Assembly attempted such an act of concession before, removing the noble prisoners of the Gran Batard, but brave forces of the Alessant Militia were able to intercept them and render them a just trial before the people and carried out their well-earned sentences quickly and mercifully with the aid of Mme Guillotine’s new device.

The aristos’ release signals the first act of the surrender bill, a return to the old regime and the oppressions it brought upon us all. Will we accept the treachery of the financiers and the intellectuals? Or will we act?
