A 2020 Interlude – Where has Chaotic Adequate been? Pt. 2
The second of our “where have they been?!?” podcasts is here. In August 2019 Greg and Steve met up to record a second Masterpiece Bookshelf, because Chaotic Adequate was definitely going to reboot any second. Ha ha no. But it is happening tomorrow.
A 2020 Interlude – Where has Chaotic Adequate been? Pt. 1
We’ve all had very odd 2019s. We’ve released so few episodes it’s embarassing.

CHAOTIC ADEQUATE – Talulah in Warrants and Warrens Pt. 5

CHAOTIC ADEQUATE – Talulah in Warrants and Warrens Pt. 4
Meanwhile… Celegilg is full of stinky cheese, Deacon is full of lies about his past, and Talulah is full of determination to actually make things better. And all of them will be full of death if they don’t pull their fingers out.
CHAOTIC ADEQUATE – Talulah in Warrants and Warrens Pt. 3
Meanwhile… The king is lost! And the group looking for him is hampered by cruel luck inflicted by a vengeful god, and by cruel idiocy inflicted only by themselves. But, our heroes have a lead…

CHAOTIC ADEQUATE S02E06 – On The High Seas Pt. 6
All our team have to do to get on their ship is evade an Ancient Red Dragon that has sworn to kill them, can fly, and regularly visits the docks. That’ll be easy.

CHAOTIC ADEQUATE S02E05 – On The High Seas Pt. 5
The party are reunited and now Tyth (Warlock, human, insane), Morag (Paladin, half-elf, troubled) and Chagrin (possibly a fighter?, dwarf, alcoholic) seek passage on a ship, to find Harold, the Guild of Assasins and more briny adventures.
CHAOTIC ADEQUATE S02E04 – On The High Seas Pt. 4

CHAOTIC ADEQUATE S02E01 – On The High Seas Pt. 1
It’s the perfect time to join our adventures as we prepare to leave the land of Gregoria, get into lawless international waters and cause havoc!

CHAOTIC ADEQUATE – Moragnarok Pt. 2
Morag (of the past) has made friends with Sandra! And enemies with other Sandra. Plus there are dead squirrels, a nonsensical gnome, people in robes worshipping the fact they’re alive and IS IT ANY WONDER MORAG ENDED UP SUCH A MESS?
CHAOTIC ADEQUATE – Moragnarok Pt. 1
It’s flashback time as we pop back to see what fantastic paladin bounty hunter Morag was like before she got all serious and became a princess-queen. She meets priestesses, squirrels and one more annoying gnome called Ian.

You can guess, right?

Fresh from killing a dragon our heroes delve further into their land of magic and jokes, chasing elk around and dealing with the fact they’ve just blown up the only vehicle they’ve ever seen! Soon they find a new hive of activity and the nonsense begins all over again.

Our three low-level heroes, who are barely capable of fighting small goblin scout parties, decide to FIGHT A DRAGON.

EPISODE FOUR – All My Friends Are Frogs

Our heroic trio finally leave the pub with their first quest in their hands, only to fall into bickering and then into the hands of a ferocious group of bullywugs! Can they survive? What will the first spell of the day be? Will Chagrin ever get on a horse without being an ass about it? Find out now.
EPISODE ONE – Travel, Taverns and Tiffs
In our first episode our heroes meet, having answered an advert offering adventure and gold. It’s never made clear what the advert was in, nor how they all happened to arrive at exactly the same time. Magic is probably to blame in some way. They almost fail to enter the pub where questgivers await due to an argument about trees.
EPISODE ZERO – The origin of Chagrin
CHAOTIC ADEQUATE
