    Ep3 - Incidents On and Off a One Way Road

    26 JAN 2021 · The Nearlies trek along The One Way Road continues to put the “random” in “random encounters”. Around the edge of the idyllic landscapes darkness stirs and bad folk have begun to notice the Heroes absence and the resulting power vacuum. Tune in for the chills, the thrills, and the very first kills on this weeks episode!

    Ep4 - Once in a Century Migration

    2 FEB 2021 · The Nearlies push their luck with some deadly magical flora and are witness to (and are almost crushed beneath) a once in a century migration, come too early as The Glorious attack makes refugees out of some of Faritall’s largest residents.

    Ep5 - End of the Road, Back of the Line

    9 FEB 2021 · The Nearlies, having turned a potential flattening into a friendly chat, move into the last leg of their trip down the legendary One Way Road. Upon reaching their destination, however, they find the Sacred Temple of Inns and Taverns, Faritall’s preeminent launching ground for heroes and adventurers, in a state they had not expected...

    Ep6 - Who Gets to be a Hero?

    16 FEB 2021 · Who wants to be a Hero? What’s it really take to be one? Just enough patience to wait in an epic line apparently. In the wake of The Near Miss, which no one gathered at the Sacred Temple of Inns and Taverns seems to even be aware of, an open call for Heroes has gone out, and the would-be adventurers have come in droves, encircling the Tavern in mile long lines that the Nearlies decide to patiently wait their turn in… yeah just kidding, they decide to bust through whatever it takes and as they size the place up, spot a very unlikely Hero applicant in a bit of distress… Creative Commons Music Credits: Scott Buckley - Vengeance https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/vengeance/ Arcane Anthems - The Wild Mother Guides https://www.patreon.com/arcaneanthems Scott Buckley - Mr Lonogan https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/mr-lonogan/ Arcane Anthems - 22 to Hit https://www.patreon.com/arcaneanthems Whatfunk - Relax https://soundcloud.com/whatfunk/relax Scott Buckley - Clarion https://soundcloud.com/scottbuckley/clarion-cc-by Scott Buckley - Midsommar https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/midsommar/ Music published under the Creative Commons license is an invaluable resource for independent content creators such as ourselves.

    Ep7 - Outsides and Insides

    23 FEB 2021 · This weeks episode is all about wandering around outside and trying to get inside. The Nearlies find a very interesting looking tree that a wizard is probably living in, that they would also very much like to get into for reasons of curiosity (and possible larceny, Val we are looking at you.) But to get there, having burned some bridges with the line of aspiring heroes, they find themselves needing to cross through a second line of heroes… each a lone wolf, each wearing black, each with a long, tragic, and kind of self indulgent, but undeniably badass back story that they would love to tell you all about. Gwendylyn Evangaline Cloot might become Gothdylyn of the Black Parade, take a listen and see if we can get her back.

    Ep8 - Storytellers, Liars, Actors

    2 MAR 2021 · The Nearlies finally set down, after what feels like at least 7 weeks of talking and doing things, for a well deserved rest. They take the time, now that they have a moment to themselves, to divulge, reminisce, confide, disclose and withhold. An adopted troll makes an excellent pillow, Gwen and Lavaleen go off for a midnight side quest (soon on Patreon) and Val dreams a jarring dream after learning some unsettling secrets about the cloak fused to her neck. Come morning it is high time to cut the line and break into the Sacred Temple of Inns and Taverns, get their Hero Badges and some answers. Hell, high water, or disgruntled, enchanted actors be damned!

Could’ve Been Heroes is an actual play podcast where six old friends adventure as six total strangers who, after missing their shots at destiny, now get a second chance to make a mess of everything.Set in the land of Faritall, a world cast in the spirit of Wonderland and Oz, but with more murder, blood and swears. This strange, wondrous place of living fairytales and walking nightmares is recovering from a very near apocalypse after a flood of darkness fell upon it from The World Above. Told in a new and developing game system of our own design focused on exciting characters based on classic fairytale tropes, twisted, subverted and modernized. Would you suffer the Sacred Curses for spectacular power and near immortality? Yeah, so would we.
