This is the first chapter in the story of how our trio met, and the events that would bring them back together so many years later.

Welcome to Worlds Beyond Number Bonus
Show notes
Welcome! Come on in! This is a handshake, a how-do-you-do, a kiss on the cheek in the French way. Bienvenue, my friend. Consider yourself GREETED. This episode is like an instruction manual for the show, so If you've got no idea what's going on, or if you just wanna hang out with the cast for a few minutes, this is for you. We try to keep it short and to the point. We do...okay!
tl;dr We use games to help us improvise stories, then we make a big "thing" about it, and you can listen to that "thing." This show is that "thing." If you're digging it, if the vibes are righteous, you can get even more of us and the things we make on our Patreon. It's an incredible deal. Everyone says so.

Nothing ends. Everything begins.
Thus concludes chapter one (1) of The Wizard, The Witch, and the Wild One. The world of Umora will see you in October! But WE're not going ANYWHERE. If you are not already a member of the patreon you are going to tremendously regret that over the next few weeks. Don't be a "Regretful Jeb", come join us! And follow us on "social" (yikes) to get updates and calendars and schedules for everything coming out over the break. So much stuff, we probably shouldn't even call it a break. I need a vacation from this vacation!
This episode featured a song called The Rain Road, with music by Taylor Moore and lyrics by Taylor Moore and Brennan Mulligan. Look at us, like Hall and Oates over here!
We had wonderful help with the choral arrangement from composer and choir director Héctor Muñoz (available for hire!) and the Macraphona Choir: Camila Chaij (solo), Micaela Roldán Juan Leoni, and Nahuel Camargo
