NEXT EPISODE 18/05/22
The Junket Podcast is a tri-weekly actual play podcast currently telling the story of the Maelstrom Galaxy in the 23rd Century.
Join our all-British, queer-led cast every few Thursdays as they use Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition to play out the story of the Katherine Johnson II, a spaceship crewed by a five-strong band of old friends who already saved the galaxy once before only to be dragged out of adventuring retirement by the impending end of the universe.
The Maelstrom campaign is a story-led space fantasy packed with high level characters, a colourful array of aliens and custom mechanics for everything from gravity through to the bends. To find out more about the campaign, its characters and the world they are trying to save, visit the Maelstrom campaign page.
