Hero Adjacent is an epic fantasy, genre-busting TTRPG Actual Play where four sort-of-but-not-really-heroes that the world doesn't need at all are thrust into a legendary quest they can't handle in a world much, much bigger than them.
The podcast is put on by five certified D-list tabletop industry creators & voice actors. Four of us made a pretty popular space opera podcast called The Homebrew, three of us work in marketing for the worlds biggest tabletop and fantasy brands, two of us made Veil of the Eternal Night and MythCraft TTRPG, and one of us is Roger.
We prioritize improv over planning, roleplay over mechanics, character development above all, we all know the rules pretty well, and the podcast is very, very lightly edited, presented as a real ACTUAL actual play, in all its messy table talk and google searches that admittedly have us on several lists.
Find us wherever pods are cast and see why over a million people downloaded our last show and rated us 4.9 stars across over 1,000 reviews.

"I am going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell."
Finally, on the road to Holst. Nothing in our way but creatures from the deep, an incurable and (literally) unspeakable zombie plague razing the nation, and the unknown treacheries of traveling south while the world flees north. Wait, why are we doing this again?

E6 - The Beige Room
" I don't want to talk about it. Let's just get to work. There's got to be something to do. There's always something to do"
Our very first quest, complete! Good work, gang. Nothing like doing an honest days work for the good innovators and job creators of Wriem! Now we just gotta talk our way out of this tiiiny misunderstanding with Lauren's crew and we'll be on our way!

E5 - The Mask of Humanity Falls From Capital
"It has to take it off to kill everyone, everything you love."
Caspian says we need money to quest. Which is weird, because questing is how you make money, but we wont let that little detail stop us! Surely there's some quick and easy good deeds to be done that will earn us a little scratch before we hit the road!

E4 - A Spot to Rest our Pot
"I think I'm quite ready for another adventure."
Finally! A moment of peace. Let's just hole up at Willy's Wards, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. Surely we won't get signed up for any sort of epic quest that's way out of our league!

E3 - Kaiju City Battle: First Responders
"Sometimes the best way to solve your own problems is to help someone else."
We made it! Sweet sunlight, fresh air, and only a few building sized, late phase Moon Goblins wreaking havoc. We might not be able to fight these things, but we can still help.
