However you found your way here, whichever realm you hale from, or whatever alignment you've chosen - welcome to North by North Quest.

NxNQ - a show that champions the belief that good stories make you feel things. So we aim to do just that - set out on this adventure using dnd5e mechanics to add randomness to where the story takes us and lets see where it goes...

Quick Notes for the New Listener:

• If you want a relatively stand alone episode to get the flavor of the show, its pacing, and the characters, try our Wizards of the Coast "Podcasts of Waterdeep" event Episode 70.
  • The story is canon yet built as a one shot taking place in Waterdeep.
  • It's the perfect example to see if our brand of storytelling and dnd gets you excited!
• If you want a jump in point - Volume 3 (Episode 74) begins with a frantic, goofy, yet informative recap of "Our Story So Far" to help the new listener jump in partway through and quickly get up to speed!
• The main story begins in Episode 7 (Volume 1).
• Leading up to the grand beginning, we build up to it with:
  • Episodes 1-3: Short, individual origins episodes giving you a quick taste of the backgrounds from where our main adventurers came!
  • Episode 4: The party comes together and is called to adventure!
  • Episodes 5-6: a prologue story that is the deep breath before the major adventure begins!

The world of North by North Quest is not a fairy tale or fable, but a complex story with many threads.  A coming together of lives at specific times, sometimes in their control and sometimes…not. 

We’ll ease you in slowly – how about starting with an adorable little druid named Rosey and her love of nature?  Every trip starts somewhere.

Who can resist story that starts in a library? The account of a dark elf wizarding apprentice and the path set before him by the high priestess of Korolev.

Just a simple cautionary tale that things aren’t always as they appear especially when characters named Daggers are involved…

It’s time. 

Time to finally get the gang together! 

Enter the elusive, mysterious, questionable, yet knowledgeable Aeyokayn.  Sylo, Valen, and Pascal finally meet one another and immediately find themselves locked in jail.  Do they escape? Do they survive their first battle? Does Pascal make it back to the Underdark? Does Sylo snatch something cool and glowing?  Does Val admire someone’s battlegear?  I honestly don’t know, can ya let me know?  I’m a little behind and need to catch up...

Pirates!! Sylo gets drunk (again) and Val feels a special tingle towards the most beautiful dwarven bard you ever did saw. A farmer, a brothel, barkeeps, local brew, a somewhat there mostly dead pirate, and a totally there totally dead pirate king! Archimedes is finally accepted into the big bird brother program.

Conclusion to the two part prelude to the grand adventure that awaits our party...

As our adventurers race against the setting of the moon, the group purges some stirges then contends with bridge luck. Pascal makes some fashion choices while Morebeek gains no fans in a graveyard. Ponine continues to shine with her grace while Val contemplates sharks.

The remaining group members ripped from their boat by a sudden portal-laden storm are thrown into a very large, dimly lit library. More questions are raised than answers given. Meeting the iron maiden Edwina and the ragged knight Valor Bax, they embark upon a new land: Locnar. Val begins her journey of self-discovery, Sylo moves on from mummified men, and Pascal gains some sweet new threads as our new Patrons set forth to find Boomer the Odd! …er… Bard! These three patrons hope to forestall the darkest timeline, truly unaware how daunting the trials of Locnar will be…
