About this listen

Welcome to Reth. A world created within a perfect cycle of reincarnation. A world whose heroes have already defeated death. A world built on the promise that these heroes still watch over us all — even millennia later, as towers soar above fantastic cities and crystalline communication pushes propaganda across the continent. And as the reincarnated souls of those ascended heroes begin to reawaken in the heart of its greatest city, it is a world that may yet find out the truth. The Second Cycle is a narrative Dungeons and Dragons podcast brought to you by Gold Star Games.Gold Star Games

    Episode 3.5 - Corona’Fen


    Join us as we build Corona’Fen!


    While our heroes recuperate from their brush with death, Jace guides our players in a game of “I’m Sorry, Did You Say Street Magic?” to collaboratively build the capital city of Cuna’ Fen. This one’s for the worldbuilders, baby.
