Ballad of the Seven Dice - A Pathfinder & Call of Cthulhu Podcast

Within the Ballad of the Seven Dice, dice rolls shape destinies and narrative threads intertwine across two distinct, yet eerily connected, worlds. This podcast weaves a dual actual-play saga where high fantasy and cosmic horror collide. One arc immerses you in a classic Pathfinder adventure, but with a digital twist: a party of adventurers finds themselves inexplicably trapped inside "Carcosa Online," a vibrant fantasy video game that begins to reveal unsettling glitches. Simultaneously, a separate team of modern investigators in a Call of Cthulhu scenario works from the outside, piecing together occult clues and facing unspeakable entities in a desperate race to unravel the mystery. Their singular goal is to free those trapped within the game before the boundaries between realities dissolve completely. Each episode cuts between these two groups, building tension as their stories inevitably converge. The drama hinges on a desperate question: can the investigators breach the game's code and defeat the lurking influence of the King in Yellow before the adventurers' fantasy prison becomes a permanent nightmare under Hastur’s control? Listen for rich character roleplay, collaborative storytelling, and the genuine reactions of friends navigating high-stakes scenarios across two beloved tabletop systems. The Ballad of the Seven Dice is a tale of escape, sacrifice, and the fragile line between a crafted fantasy and a waking terror.
