Icosahedrophilia Podcast 152: Fathoms Below, Part 2
By Icosahedrophilia
With many apologies for the three-month hiatus, I am delighted to offer you “Fathoms Below, Part 2”! In part 1, our heroes found themselves piloting a makeshift magical submarine—the Broken Promise, enclosed in a magical air bubble. This strange conveyance attracted the attention of a giant eel and other sea creatures, who continue to beset the PCs in this episode! Please listen now or subscribe via iTunes, Zune, or plain old RSS!
This episode features the following segments:
Weighing Anchor
Jeff Greiner of the Tome Show calls for your initiative roll.
The Staging Area
I briefly summarize the campaign backstory (referring listeners to the Story Thus Far recap episode for a more detailed history of the campaign). I also briefly recap “Fathoms Below, Part 1.”
The Weather Report
The PCs continue their struggle for survival beneath the waves!
The Prop Shop
I gush about the availability of D&D audiobooks at Audible and D&D PDFs at D&D Classics (operated by OneBookShelf, the parent company of DriveThruRPG/RPGNow). Read more about that in my other post on the subject!
Sea Shanties
As always, our theme and bumper music comes from Racing the Wind and Gallows Jig from the album Phantoms of the High Seas by Nox Arcana, ©2008 Monolith Graphics. This episode also features, in the background, “Leviathan” by Erdenstern, from the album Into the Blue, ©2008 Erdenstern. All tracks are used by permission of the copyright holders.
I hope that you enjoy(ed) listening to Fathoms Below, Part 2 and that you’ll join us when the adventure continues in Fathoms Below, Part 3!

Look for Icosahedrophilia 158, “The Tomb, Part 4,” as soon as I can get the Staging Area and Prop Shop recorded.

Welcome back!
I just saw this on my Zune podcast list and will be looking forward to starting to listen tomorrow.
Interesting, I will be playing my first 4E game on Thursday (I did DM a few sessino). Should be fun!
Great to see the podcast back! Icosahedrophelia is one of my favorite DnD podcasts. It got me back into DnD and 4th edition in particular after I started listening to your groups’ great tales.
Here’s to a good run to the end of your tale!
Chris! YES–great to have you back–you have been seriously missed…
This is yet another fantastic imaginary session–I am still very much hoping that you make at least mid-Epic before D&D Next takes over.
Fun episode & a very good example of how a simple combat can get WAY out of hand in 4E! What I really love is that the players at your table seem very engaged & are actually paying fairly close attention–at least compared to what goes on at most of the tables I play.
On a rather unrelated note, I would love to see you post on what other Podcasts you are listening to these days–I think I picked up the HP Lovecraft Cast from you about two years ago & that is still one of my favorites.
