Show synopsis:

Twenty years ago, the Kindly Ancestors rose from their graves to reconquer the lands of Old Cyshane. Today, an endless multitude of ancient kings and queens squabble and bicker for cultural supremacy. Labouring corpse-technology has swallowed up agriculture and industry. Dead-divers descend into the netherworld, searching for answers. Even as progress rolls relentlessly onwards, all of us remain helplessly bound to the past. What will it take to stop looking back?

An epic, rotten-hearted weird-fantasy series from the creators of The Silt Verses and I Am In Eskew.

Content warnings

I have a bit of an odd question.

I'm a huge fan of The Silt Verses and also TTRPGs. I'm making a homebrewed campaign and mechanics based on the world of the podcast and the way religion works within it. Right now, I'm just planning to run it for free with a few friends, but I was wondering if you would be interested in collaborating on a more official tie-in TTRPG? I know The Magnus Archives and Welcome to Night Vale have done tie-in TTRPG games in the past.

I know this is a long shot, but I couldn't not ask! Either way, much love to the wonderful people behind one of my favorite podcasts!

Hi and thank you and please never worry about the odd questions!

Hello, and thank you / I'm sorry for the change!

I think in the very beginning, the TSV credit format was (like so many things before and since) a bit of a punt to see if we could make it work; we were already recording Jamie Stewart as Mason doing a semi-diagetic prayer over the radio to give us a glimpse of the Parish's dogma, so it made sense to use that opportunity to do a credit read as well.

Over time it became a nice way of having a roughly egalitarian approach to the credits, and then a fun way of playing around and breaking the fourth wall. (I feel like a few TV shows were doing something similar with varied visual depictions of their title at the same time?) We probably did the most enjoyable bits in S2, especially when the Reverend Toes comes out and clonks Carpenter as Harlan's name is read out.

Thank you very much for sticking with us since the beginning!

I know it's very early to ask, but the Long King's dialogue has captured my imagination, and if there are going to be any pseudo-Old English VA roles opening up I need to get a podcast-quality mic and start practicing for the auditions now.

We'd love to, but it's definitely much too early to say - gotta see if we land the first season, if it finds a sizeable enough audience that I can continue working on podcasts full-time, if actors' schedules allow them to stay involved in the long-term, etc!
