The Quiet Year: Spring

While we prepare for our mid-season arc, take a listen to the first episode of our Patreon-exclusive series - The Quiet Year.  If you want to listen to the rest, head over to our Patreon at patreon.com/PortalQuandary!

Volcanos, flowers, fresh bread, and a charismatic young woman.  Welcome to the first episode of our patreon-exclusive miniseries! The Quiet Year is a map-making card game where players collaborate to create a landscape and community therein. As the fairies realise Glamos and its hostile inhabitants grow steadily closer to their settlement, they look for a way to escape the encroaching fields before the year is up. Set long before the events of Portal Quandary Prophis, we come together to explore how the city of Lambence came into being. In Spring, we start building the map, creating some fun lore, and playing with some ideas on how to navigate the Glamos problem.
