The Barmy Balladeers
The Barmy Balladeers
Podcast Description
Four amateur writers and professional university students gather cautiously in whatever room is available so that they might tell tales of woe, legend and general silliness.
Graduation looms, but through the magic of TTRPG systems (how original), we have countless stories to unleash from their parchment prisons. It's how they did it in the old days my pilgrims, but with a lot more dice and mathematics.
Our first campaign: "Tales of Tanamai" stars Billy Nicholls as Gwerxos, Kit Oliver as Possibly Mortimer, Elias Weaver as Mabel Mortimer and Ted Collins as the Storyteller.

”This message from the Stone's Throw network was recorded and archived by Doctor Amber Solari during her time as a student and provided 15 years after the fact, admitting her involvement in the events of 548 in the since dismantled Salidawn Conservatoire.
Fronted by controversial rebel figure and alleged terror activist, Mabel May Mortimer, this message was recorded circa the 3rd-5th of Remember. Sometime between the occult disappearance of Possibly Mortimer and the catastrophic events that followed in the incurring week.
Such events led to the establishment of numerous rebel cells, the murder of a prominent city official and the mass psychic event known most simply to historians as The Joining.
How a slim span of seven days could create such lasting ramifications on the world as we know it is maddening to consider. But, as I'm sure you are all well aware, the Mortimers do not handle history with safety gloves. They handle it with hammers.”
– An Audio-Visual History of the Dispersion and its Ramifications. Curated by Archivist Isaac Payne and displayed in 578 at the Tramelite Museum of Arinaris-Ro.
