The city of Pinteran buzzes as four servants prepare for the Delegation at hand.
Elya Mayheart our scullery maid, Giovanni the Clank tour guide, Axel Reis an Apathian priest and Arlette Tompson the governess of the God Kings Children.
Oh and… has anyone seen a goat ?
Servants the of Crownlands | #4 The Unforgiving Science of Alchemy
Trigger warning: Mentions of child harm.
The Luxspice is big enough that some things are easy to miss – but the governess is missing nothing now as she makes a play. A witch performs a mating dance, a robot finds something within himself, and past and present collide. All this and more – but only if you get out of bed. No judgement from us.
Servants of the Crownlands is OTBAN’s first campaign, played in Daggerheart. We are: Jaye Beeson as Arlette, Tom Groves as Axel, Mila Swiderski-Smiley as Elya, Erkhes Tseveenjav as Giovanni, and Aaron Firth as the Crownlands.
This is the first time we have done anything like this and we have learnt a lot from the process! We are open to any and all feedback and are treating this first arc almost like a pilot to the campaign.
You may notice a few audio hiccups along the way and we are doing our best to smooth those out! One notable issue is Tom/Axel's Audio isn't great for the first few episodes. Please bare with us it improves!
Special thank you to Max Groves, Tomos Cooper, Josh Poynton, Hex Diesis and Tabletop Audio for the music and sound.
See you through the window, nerds!

Servants the of Crownlands | #3 Rumour Mill
Trigger warning: Mentions of child harm.
Rumours run like roots under our servants’ steps – and it’s a big night. Does talk of goats and old religions go well with salmon? At least the view is nice – too bad there’s weak men and strange devices in the castle. Well, here we are, smell the daisies. Swallow the wine and awkwardness and give a letter to a friend. Just don’t ask to see the portrait.

Servants of the Crownlands | #2 Bullseye
We take to the sky – already – and feel the wind in our sails or, rather, the scrath in our balloon. Investigations run deeper and more is asked of the Sceptre, targets stapled to hay out in the gardens. Step up, turn the valve, remember your job here is to obliterate. Flip a coin and see who goes first.

Servants of the Crownlands | #1 The Delegation
In the heart of the Crownlands, the Annual Delegation begins. Four servants are hard at work as it does so, or maybe not. Maybe now is the time for walking the grounds while a man dies, for hiding in a library and getting your portrait painted. Maybe a birthday or two and getting stolen away by your crush. Or maybe you watch as a gate opens, and chaos slips through. There is something wrong here.
