No Return

This is a story about heroes. No, that’s too much. This is a story about what it takes to make a hero. Welcome to Erset La Tari, the Land of No Return! This strange and mysterious realm teeters ever on the verge of disaster, barely having survived the apocalyptic world curses! But from the ashes rose the Treaty of Budan and the nations of La Tari achieved a hard won peace. The starving were fed, calamitous war averted and a safe and prosperous zone established. But there were those who opposed the treaty- who chafed at silken shackles of peace. Villains who sought power at the expense of the land’s very survival! These vile ne'er do wells found power in the study of dark magicks and used their martial prowess to enslave their neighbours- forcing them to toil under a repressive yoke to further their selfish hunger for dark esoteric knowledge. So vast became the gap between the power of these villains and those of the forces of peace that the nations were forced to once again band together commissioning a fellowship of heroes, of champions, to meet the crisis head-on. Each a master of their respective art, willing and ready to meet these wicked casters in battle if and when the need arose. This is a story of heroes and what it takes to make a hero. So turn back ye faint of heart! For I tell no word of a lie: Shit gets fucked really fast!

Hey You! Listener! Yes you! A little birdie told me that you thought the recording quality on episode 1 and 2 of the Nymphaeum was crap. Well.. guess what! We went back and re recorded it with better equipment and touched up a bit of the sound design too! We even combined it into one 40 minute episode Just for you! Just because we love you and nothing to do with Chris RR Bauso teasing K Zhou about it and him being a thin skinned little Jessie… So why don’t you go back and relisten to The Nymphaeum now! It’s blood good right!? Support the Show.

THE WIZARD SCROLL is a sword & sorcery sci-fi narrative the likes of which will make yo' momma say 'Dang son/daughter/offspring, where'd you find this?' Tales of high fantasy, of trials and triumph, of quests both epic and mundane, as well as the occasional musical number. The realm of Yyrgsland is filled to the brim with all manner of folk, and boy let me tell you, the escapades that these crazy characters get themselves into would perhaps have made even the late and great Tolkien himself snicker in delight.

Hey all! We, here at No Return, are returning to our roots! As some of you may know, Erset La Tari; The Land of No Return, began life as a 'homebrew' Table Top Role Playing Game (TTRPG) setting. Thanks to the immense talents of Dylan Smith (GM of Hearthfire Tales, as well as the voice of Sergeant Gavin Fern and Niillas Janicek on No Return) we are able to bring No Return to you in the form of a TTRPG Actual play. Co- Gamemastered by Dylan and Kier Zhou and played by the recognisable vocal talents of Jack (Tommo), Gemma (Ysenda, Thae Oraen & Cinnte) and Cameron (Amghar, Jyce Inacio, and the new voice of Deky and Ayelen). We are truly excited to bring the world of No Return to you in a more improvised, player led and spontaneous format where the players decisions and the whims of the dice will decide 'The Fate of Daya'.

Hello everyone and happy new year!, sorry for it being a little quiet on the old feed for the last little while but I thought I would give you a little update on what's going on behind the scenes at No Return. I would like to thank you all again for your patience and support with the project. As you know we are a small crew here- in fact it was just me- until very recently when Jack Duncan, Gemma Maclean Mair and Lou Sutcliffe stepped in to help with the writing! And the scale, ambition and reach of this project has occasionally exceeded our grasp- but we have learned many valuable lessons from 2023 and you will hopefully start to see greater consistency in all aspects of the No Returniverse- including in scheduling! Happy new year and look forward to everything we have in store! Support the Show.
