Step into the ashes of a fallen world in this Lore Episode for Campaign 3: Crownfall, narrated by Matt, your Dungeon Master. Before the heroes of this campaign ever take their first steps, this episode unveils the catastrophic events that transformed the realm of Avarinth into a fractured, war-torn landscape teetering on the edge of collapse.

Discover the ancient conflict with the Void Tyrant, the rise of Issarok the Blood Howler, and the gnoll hordes that now ravage the land. Learn how the fall of the Rose Citadel reshaped the continent, how the gods were forced to look away, and how an archmage’s desperate ritual tore open a reality-breaking rift—an anomaly that hums, breathes, and casts no shadow.

Matt also reveals the survival-focused tone of Crownfall: a Last-of-Us-style dystopian world fused with Stranger Things-like otherworldly mystery. Expect new house rules, new types of light, limited safe havens, and a constant sense of danger as players navigate both the devastated overworld and the unknown horrors within the rift.

If you're new to Twenty Sides or preparing to dive into Crownfall, this episode gives you everything you need to understand the stakes, the setting, and the world’s descent into darkness.

Subscribe, follow, and prepare—Crownfall begins soon, and survival is not guaranteed.

Fifty-one episodes. Four adventurers. Countless battles. And one unforgettable ending.

In this special recap and reflection episode, Dungeon Master Matt takes listeners behind the screen of Campaign Two: The Nexus—breaking down the moments, decisions, and dice rolls that led to the shocking fall of Holden and Dail, the retreat of Jace and Lucia, and the end of an era for the Twenty Sides table.

In this reflective finale to The Nexus, Matt reveals:

• Why Campaign Two ended where it did—and how Holden’s choices shaped its final outcome
• How the cult of Sin Eros and the mystery of the Umbral Core tied into the cosmic war between gods and the Void Tyrant Azarkos
• What would have happened next if the party had survived
• Hidden worldbuilding details from Glen, the Overgrown Shrine, Mossgrove, and Silverport
• The real plan for Ziggy, the black dragon wyrmling
• What’s coming next for Twenty Sides with Campaign Three on the horizon

From the ticking gears of Glen’s broken clocktower to the flames of the Crossroads, this episode closes the chapter on The Nexus—but opens the door to something even bigger.
