The inaugural episode for the podcast's first campaign, The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One, releases on March 1 and introduces us to the mirthful world of Umora.ĭ&D Beyond sat down with Brennan, who serves as Dungeon Master, to talk about Worlds Beyond Number and what listeners could expect from this campaign. Worlds Beyond Number is creator-owned and supported by over 20,000 Patreon subscribers, as of February 2023. It's all about the joy of home campaigns, those stories you tell with friends and that can span across genres and settings. If you follow tabletop news, chances are you've spotted teasers for Worlds Beyond Number over the past weeks. The new podcast series was created by and stars TTRPG heavy-hitters Aabria Iyengar, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, and Lou Wilson, with design by creative director Taylor Moore from Fortunate Horse.

Jones measures out the awful realisation over a page or so – the strange croak in Sophie’s voice, the look of horror from the man standing by the shop door, the large veins on the back of Sophie’s suddenly wrinkled hands. The spell is typically uncanny, arriving without warning in a flinging motion of a spread hand, transforming Sophie in an instant before she or the reader has any idea what has happened.
