PREVIEW - The Wizard: Then & Now
🕑 Added 2023-02-01 03:46:17 +0000 UTCWelcome to the world of Umora.
What you are about to hear are the first words, of the first session, of our first story; “The Wizard, The Witch, and the Wild One.” We begin with an excerpt from the Children’s Adventure, where Aabria and Brennan craft Suvi the Wizard’s origin by exploring a memory from her childhood. Then, we skip forward in time to meet Suvi as a young adult, in an exclusive preview of the main campaign.
Our main campaign follows Suvi the Wizard, Ame the Witch, and Eursulon the Wild One’s journey. It debuts for the public on March 1st, with new episodes released every other week thereafter, wherever you get your podcasts.
The Children’s Adventure is the improvised prologue of the main campaign, telling the story of our adult protagonists as “Level 0" children. The Children’s Adventure will eventually be available in its entirety by the Fireside, here on our Patreon.
We recommend you listen with the best headphones you have.
Suvi is played by Aabria Iyengar
Ame is played by Erika Ishii
Eursulon is played by Lou Wilson
Everything and everyone else is played by Brennan Lee Mulligan
Produced, designed, and scored by Taylor Moore at Fortunate Horse
Banner and Album art by the great Corey Brickley

!!!!! I almost feel regret as I’m listening to the episode because I know there will only ever be this one opportunity to listen to it for the first time. This is some completely magical shit that’s being put forth here. 💘

Hey there Rose! There's no such thing as "late." You are doing just fine and are welcome any time! The Then and Now previews contain selections from the Children's Adventure (the Then parts) and also scenes from the first few episodes of the main story (the Now parts). If you've heard the children's adventure and the first few main story eps, you've heard everything in the Then and Now previews. EXCEPT for The Fox: Then and Now, that one is wholly unique, and for patrons only. Hope you enjoy it! -t
Hey! I joined the Patreon late and am fully up to date with WBN and The Children’s Adventure, is there any new content in the Then and Now previews?
Katie Meyer
Some kind of magic, for sure.

Thank you for the fast reply! I’m almost done with the Children’s Adventure and I love it so so much. Very excited for this story! You are all amazing!

My personal recc is Children's Adventure first, then jump right in to Episode 1: The Open Door -t
I started with the Children’s Adventures. Is it better to listen to this next or start with Episode 1 of the podcast? Does anyone know? Thx :)

I Love this!!
Dear God 15 mins in and I got full body chills I don't think I'm emotionally ready for this 😭 I've been subscribed since long before this came out and the anticipation has been so overwhelming I have only just now been able to bring myself to listen lmao also my toxic trait is that every time I listen to Brennan it makes me feel like I can dm a game as epically as he can 💀

This is compelling stuff!!

I fucking love this and it’s only the beginning. Hearing Lou and Erika crying in the background put me over the edge. Please just take all of my money and keep doing the magic you create.
yeah so I'm gonna need a talk back with Taylor as soon as freaking possible where they go over how they do all that beautiful chaos magic with the sound
Kristina Cassandra
Opening sequence had me full WEEPING while walking my dog 😭can’t wait to binge everything 🙏🏼 background music + sfx TRULY add so much to the ambiance - alllll the props to Taylor 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

All I can say as of now is the MUSIC.. The background noise. I love it so much. It creates an ambiance and environment around you while you listen and I love it so much. I would love to be able to access the soundtrack on its own as it is truly a piece of art <3 xx Leo

Lou and Erika feeling those feelings with me, Aabria joining me as I barely hold it together at work. Brennan painting us the picture of our Soft and Stone wizard. AAAAHHH!!!
This was great, I love the effects, the vibe and the chemistry <3
Neil Munro
Ok, I knew this would be good but I had no idea how impactful all the music, sound design, voice altering would be. It feels like a high quality audiobook.

Thank all the absolute gods above for Lou ft Erika squeak for breaking that tension I was absolutely at tears AAAGH. So good. Good world building starts with the people that live in it, so so good
Micah Edmonds
This production and sound design is transportive. Truly encompassing and strong choice to define the aesthetic of the show at such a high level immediately. This must have been in the pipe a long time y’all. Amazing start.
Shreyas Joshi
This has got to be the preview that most reminded me of reading a fantasy novel
Joanne Tai
I think Dimension 20 has trained me not to let my heart explode from sheer emotion or shock.
This is like All Stars d&d. :D
Abria has such an amazing imagination for Magic. She inspired me to make yet more wizards. (My favorite class).
Ravyn Mitts
Wow way to immediately make me cry guys 😭 ❤️
Marcel de Jong
Rip my heart out, why don’t you!

I’m here to listen to episodes and cry. And I’m all out of episodes ...

3:30am here. I had every intention of going to bed and listening tomorrow, but, well... That was a hell of an introduction. Worth staying up for. Calamity set us up for the kind of storytelling Brennan can do from the GM seat. I can SEE Suvi in my head. Years of this sounds absolutely amazing. I can't wait!
Maggie
YALL. That was just beautiful. 🥰🥰🥰
