Side Character QuestAuthor: Ty V.
Side Character Quest (SCQ) is an anthology of improvised fantasy adventures. In each short quest, the show's host takes a single guest player on a journey through a larger shared world. Quests are usually 3-6 episodes long, and listeners can generally start the show at the beginning of any one of them! Your world is a peaceful one, comprised of plains, mountains, swamps, and pines. Cicadas sing, rivers flow, magic thrums through the air, and all of it's surround by a single massive wall that is as ancient as history itself. ...which is to say, not THAT ancient. Thanks to the Loss, whether you live in the Dwarven city of Mt. Renna, the diverse city of the plains known as Circ, or off in some more humble and disconnected town, "prehistoric" ain't all that long ago. Ah, well! People are happy, and life is good, assuming you don't mind the occasional monster (be it magical or mundane) or the looming threat of a mysterious undead society. Should you be discontented with whatever home you find here, you can always seek adventure sailing on the Salten Sea or isolation out in the Three Brothers. And who's to say there isn't more out there beyond it all, waiting to be found? Some worlds need a hero. This one might need a bit more than that.

Episode 125
Friday, 31 July, 2026
Welcome to Side Character Quest, a one-on-one actual play podcast set in a world where cicadas sing, rivers flow, magic thrums through the air, and all of it’s surrounded by a single massive Wall as ancient as history itself. Instead of diving straight into a new adventure, you are going to get to hear our game master Ty and our guest player Bill Sunderland do a "Session 0", where they discuss the game they'll be playing and then create Bill's character, who will star in the upcoming adventure! This week's player is Bill Sunderland, who is a podcast host, game designer, sound editor and engineer, and more! He and Dani Siller run Consume This Media, where they run audio escape rooms (Escape This Podcast and audio murder mysteries (Solve This Murder). They also stream mystery games on Play This Game! If you're a fan of videogames, check out their work on The Rise of the Golden Idol. Want to learn more about Ty, the host (and GM and producer and editor and...) of SCQ?
