The inaugural season of Sagas of Sundry: Goblin Mode will feature a tabletop role-playing game to create an evolving adventure that blends elements of horror, sci-fi, and high fantasy into a sweeping saga. Set in the richly detailed world of Sundaros, Sagas of Sundry: Goblin Mode explores a land once ruled by godlike beings and now plunged into chaos following their disappearance.
The series tells the story of a group of genuine underdogs. Not traditional fantasy heroes, but undead skeletons and toothy goblins serving a foul necromancer in a dank dungeon. But with the evil overlord they once served now vanquished, their destiny is in their own hands for the very first time….
Sagas of Sundry: Goblin Mode will release 60-to-90-minute episodes every Monday across Realm and Legendary Digital Networks’ expansive content ecosystem. This includes podcast episodes, videos, behind-the-scenes interviews, after shows, explainers, and other engaging complementary content.
