      THE RE-SLAYER’S TAKE

      Follow the audio escapades of the second-coolest monster hunters this side of Exandria: The Re-Slayer’s Take! After six misfit mercenaries are rejected from the elite monster hunting group, The Slayer’s Take, they band together as The Re-Slayer’s Take, battling supernatural creatures across the rugged continent of Issylra. But will they be able to overcome the plight of The Timberblight and its undead army? Can Idrin, Farah, Heera, Frog, Timpani, and Poogs learn to work together through it all? This all-ages actual play is carefully edited into a tightly woven narrative that’s easily digestible in bite-size episodes, making for a fresh new suite of Exandrian adventures for a long-time Critter, or a perfect first dip into the world of Critical Role.

      The cast is led by a duo of game masters, George Primavera and Nick Williams (Hero Club), with the main cast including Jasmine Bhullar, Jasper William Cartwright, Caroline Lux, and Jasmine Chiong. The Re-Slayer’s Take premieres Monday, May 20th everywhere podcasts are found with new episodes every Monday. Beacon members get early access to episodes and stay two weeks ahead of the free feeds.
