This week’s guest is Amanda, another member of the Quelmar organization. Quelmar was featured previously in episode 32 with James, the original creator of Quelmar. Amanda is a Quelmar DM and is currently DMing a Quelmarized version of Hitpoint Press’s Heckna!. Her interview focused on her homebrew campaign without a “proper” name dubbed the Delicious Homebrew.

The Delicious Homebrew focuses on a world that has lost connection to its magic. One hundred years ago a powerful magician felt that magic was a net negative for the world. It was too dangerous and unpredictable. This magician sealed magic away and then hid the seal itself as well on a lost continent known as the Emerald Wilds. The players journey starts with a king giving them a quest to find a magical crown. The PCs found the crown, but rather than return it to the king they broke it, unleashing a hostile angel. After rallying an entire city to defeat the angel, the PCs interrogated it as it died. The angel revealed the name and identity of the magician who sealed away the world’s magic, setting the PCs off on their true quest.

During the interview we mentioned the Heckna! campaign by Hitpoint Press which is available on Hitpoint Press’s website.
I also brought up the Bag Wars Saga from Knights of the Dinner Table which you can check out.
