Episodes

  • The King has known and loved Axe Axewound for years, ever since they met on an adventure in Spain and deposed his evil brother. But actions have consequences and oaths aren’t just for declaring, and although there is never a good time to initiate a difficult conversation even the best of friends have to have them sometimes. Also the King’s son is stolen by bandits.

  • The King’s invasion of Washington D.C. begins with a thousand sickly snaps as he uses all his strength and cunning to barrel through all resistance. Now that he has two gods, a saint and a gorilla on his side can anything stop him?

  • It is October 2018. What is going on with The Saga of the European King?

    Quite a bit, actually. Let us sit down with two pots of tea and a bottle of Pepsi Max and tell you what we've made, what we haven't and what is to come. This includes the merits of GMing trial sequences in roleplaying games, the true nature of BBC4 presenters and the difficulties of digging a trench.

    With Tom McNally, Amy Sutton and Joshua Crisp.

    Music by Nicolai Roos.

    Find The Saga of the European King on iTunes, Bandcamp, Stitcher, Podchaser, SoundCloud, Libsyn or RSS.

    Thanks to Amy Sutton and Joshua Crisp for running the show and Beth Gibson for filming.

    Music is 'The Happy Monster' by Chubby Jackson and his Orchestra, available from archive.org here:

The Adventure Team is reunited on the lawn of the White Roost and the King's plan to conquer the United States of America comes to a head. Music by Nicolai Roos, John Bartmann and Mano Camatsos. A huge thank you to everyone who came, Josh and Amy as ever, Claudia Treacher who was drafted in as technician at the last minute, Lydia Heath of O N C A, Laurence Hill and Melissa Ray of the Brighton Digital Festival, Ed Babb for filming and Patricia Finnegan for all the love and support.

  • The King and GoGoGorilla are travelling across the United States of America, spreading sedition and living off the land. The King is back in his element but GoGoGorilla is worried that a detective from the big city has no place in the untamed wilderness but perhaps America has some mysterious of its own to hand out.

  • Terrorthaw has made a career out of creating inventive ways to show that the King's rule of Europe is flawed. Until now he's never quite had a chance to so completely undo it, but since discovering the location of a working time machine he knows he has to move quickly.

    Can he dismantle his evil empire, gather the right equipment and assemble a competent crew before the King finds out what he's up to? And how do you dispose of a room full of henchmen without a whole automated death wheel stadium arena?

  • The King has broken the most important, fundamental rule in European Law and is not fit to be a King or even a man any more. But what is a man? And a woman - you've heard of those. How is a woman involved in what a man is? Can a woman get a man out of a bad feeling when he is feeling bad?

    The King won't grapple these tough questions alone in the rainforest canopy - everybody's favourite crime-solving gorilla is on his tail and no question is too tough for him.

  • Saint Francis and Ba'al Hadad are fugitives on the run from the Devil and his master, The King of Europe. They have travelled across the North Pole and through Canada to find the United States of America and all the crimes they have there. How long can they lead their exciting new life on the wide-open country before their past catches up with them?

    And would they do if they were offered a flattering new job?

Now she has washed up on Miami Beach and needs to grasp the several cultural differences that exist between her native Medieval Europe and the United States of America.

    Fortunately Will Smith is there to help her get up to speed.

    Meanwhile Ba'al the thunder god and Saint Francis the wild man are having trouble catching a wily goose.

  • The King is out of jail and he has a bone to pick with an old enemy of his house and a treacherous friend.

    He is never alone in bone-picking and this case he is joined by GoGoGorilla, a private detective but also an ape, and Astrid Gimmerleck, who is putting far more effort into dating Axe Axewound than Axe Axewound is putting into dating Astrid Gimmerleck. She's already aware that he is a violent drunk but how will she react when she learns he can't commit to anything at all.
