Hero Adjacent is a tabletop RPG actual play podcast set in an epic fantasy world. It follows four reluctant, not-quite-heroes who are pulled into a legendary quest far beyond their abilities. The show is created by five tabletop industry professionals and voice actors, several of whom worked on The Homebrew, Veil of the Eternal Night, and MythCraft. The group favors improvisation, roleplay, and character development over planning and mechanics. Episodes are lightly edited and presented as a messy, authentic actual play with table talk included.
