Our party grapples with social hierarchy in the Jewel of the Sword Coast. Miz’ra meets a mentor. Braden gets advice from an old friend. Zig attempts to stay out of prison. Blitz makes it difficult.Editor’s Note: Because we recorded these sections separately, Zig and Blitz’s section ended up coming in an hour longer than everyone else’s, and to fit the episode pacing I had to cut that hour out. As a humble apology, we’ll be releasing the first the hijinks of Blitz and Zig scamming their way to the front of the line as the first Abandon Sidequest, coming soon.f e a t u r i n g@dndjellybean as Blitz Avianosets@mikeatonic as Braden Stabbener@snagelart as Zig@carleenamanzi as Miz’ra Tistyn@jasonmimosa as The Dungeon MasterAlbum & Character Illustration@maidfetishOriginal Theme Song@totallyfuturisticBecome A Patron!InstagramRPGsBlack Lives Matter [BUNDLE]National Police Accountability Project [BUNDLE]NAACP Legal Defense Fund [BUNDLE]RPGCastsDonateBlack Lives MatterNAACP Legal Defense & Education FundKnow Your Rights CampResistance Funds Resource ListReclaim The BlockAmerican Civil Liberties UnionEducationUnicorn RiotAnti-Racism Resources For White PeopleRace ForwardEqual Justice InitiativePetitionsJustice for George FloydJustice for Ahmad ArberyJustice for Belly MujingaPodcasts1619About RaceMinority Korner

Hey, everybody. Given the current climate, we do not feel right releasing an episode this week. Instead, Abandon Quest will be making a $300 donation to Black Lives Matter. In brief, we stand with the protestors, and support the call to reform. In the show notes, you’ll find the links to several charities that we’ll be updating as time goes on, as well as petitions and educational resources if you’re unable to donate financially. We’ve also provided a link to RPGcasts.com, a website that highlights other actual play podcasts featuring players and game masters that are Black, Indigenous, Mixed Race, and/or People of Color.Thank you for listening, and from all of us at Abandon Quest, don’t give up.DonateBlack Lives MatterNAACP Legal Defense & Education FundKnow Your Rights CampResistance Funds Resource ListReclaim The BlockAmerican Civil Liberties UnionEducationUnicorn RiotAnti-Racism Resources For White PeopleRace ForwardEqual Justice InitiativePetitionsJustice for George FloydJustice for Ahmad ArberyJustice for Belly MujingaPodcastsRPGCasts 1619 About RaceMinority Korner
