Five players. One cutting-edge VR game. A world beyond the screen. When a group of beta testers step into World of Zumundo, they expect a next-level RPG experience. What they get is something else entirely. Locked in their avatars, stranded in a war-torn fantasy realm, and pursued by forces they don’t understand, they must fight to survive, uncover the truth, and find a way home, if one even exists. Together as they uncover the mysteries of the world, they discover that their arrival heralds much more than a step between worlds. Join Frederick, Alexander, Grant, Lilith, and Andrew in this gripping actual play Dungeons and Dragons podcast. When the fantasy stops being a game, what lengths will they go to find their way home?

The outworlders venture into the tomb of the last architects, a place where time bends, reality warps, and shadows whisper forgotten secrets. Some truths can't be buried. Some reflections can't be shattered.

Deep within the heart of the Twilight Spire, The Outworlders stand before the Obsidian Council to be judged for the crime of their very existence. A guilty verdict means death by the blade of the Vanguard. At what lengths will they go to survive? And what price tag does survival carry with it?
On the slopes of Mount Umbra, the Outworlders come face to face with the grim legacy of the Twilight Vanguard. A lone knight lies fallen upon the path to the Spire, but death has not stilled his blade. What begins as a confrontation with a cursed sentinel soon becomes a trial by fire, forcing the party to reckon with the weight of oaths, the corruption of ideals, and the haunting question of what they themselves are becomi...
The Outworlders begin their harrowing ascent up the dusk-shrouded slopes of Mount Umbra, a mountain whispered to be cursed and home to the enigmatic Twilight Vanguard. Seeking answers and guidance, they quickly discover that the journey is as perilous as the destination.
Their path winds through treacherous rockslides and the shattered remnants of forgotten civilizations, where stone ruins whisper of hubris and loss. Along ...
Deep within the golden shadows of the Auraglow Forest, the party comes face-to-face with Elthara Moongaze, the exiled Seer whose prophecies once made her a pariah. But what begins as a search for answers becomes a reckoning with fate.
Secrets are revealed. Shaunus, the halfling child they rescued, should not have survived the Firefall. Something… or someone… pulled him out of destiny’s path.
And for Alex, a deeper truth awak...
Now traveling with Shaunus, the young halfling survivor of Maplewood, the group learns of the Seer; a mysterious figure who foresaw their arrival and the destruction they’d bring. Desperate for answers, the party ventures into the Auraglow Forest, a breathtaking yet perilous realm where beauty masks danger.
As they confront strange magic and test their powers, the forest reveals glimpses of deeper truths. But it’s only upon...
Andrew, Alex, Lilith, Freddy, and Grant awaken on the edge of Maplewood, but this isn’t the game they remember. Pain is real. The bodies they inhabit aren’t their own. And magic isn’t just a stat, it's real. As they struggle to understand this strange new world, something catastrophic shakes the very fabric of reality… and forces them to question not just where they are, but who they’ve become.
The heroes awaken on the edges of the golden Auraglow Forest, staring out at the quaint village of Maplewood. The game feels too real, right down to the wind and the ground beneath their feet. They're still being watched by millions via livestream… or so Dr. Hale says. When they take on their first "quest" from Farmer Jeb, an encounter with idle kobolds and floating quest banners, it all seems like clever parody.
That is, u...
