A Paladin’s Bargain
A full-cast dark-comedy audio drama, set in the world of Your Favorite TTRPG™! It sounded like a simple job, but things aren’t always what they seem. ”Retired” paladin Sir Rowan and his partner Garnett sign up to escort a merchant’s wagon on the dangerous road to Gauntlet Station. But their list of problems (and their list of traveling companions) keeps growing.

Hi all!
This is a quick proof of life to let you know that we're still here and still hard at work on Season Two!
We finished recording all the audio tracks at the end of February, so now it's up to our audio genius to assemble it. (No pressure, Jon. We love you!) We're hoping for a Spring 2026 release.
In the mean time, a few things to consider:
Give season one a re-listen. There are a lot of breadcrumbs scattered about, hidden under all the dad jokes.
Tell your friends! Saint Wil teaches us that being a nerd is not what you love but how you love it. And nerd love means sharing stuff you enjoy with people you enjoy.
Podcasts are not Indian food. A five-star review on your local aggregator is free and it helps us keep our robot overlords happy.
Likewise, please consider emulating the infamous werewolf journalist: Lycan Subscribe. I know, I know, it is the mantra of the 21st Century and yet it helps us show up in searches which helps share the love.
And finally: All music written and performed by Jon Sewell and Christian Stivason. We have the artists' permissions because we are the artists, Apple.
What is a Paladin's Bargain
A Paladin's Bargain is a compromise where everyone involved leaves the negotiation equally miserable... and they still end up doing the right thing.
No adventure is complete without a side quest (or twelve). But when you're up to your butt in goblins, it's hard to remember your job was to slay the dragon.
APB is a short-form audio drama. Season one is six ~30 minute episodes. We do all the dice rolls off-mike so you can focus on the story.
