A new Dungeon Master has been elected to the border keep of Dunshelm, and he has a very profound item on his starting agenda; reform. He plans to streamline the way that the castle is run. In particular, he wants to reduce the size of its staff and payroll budget. However, it does not take him long to discover that his agenda will face a lot of opposition from within the castle itself, and that includes opposition from officials who are well-placed to scupper his ideas.

We couldn’t resist it forever. It’s been 9 years, hard to believe, but the Dunshelm Players are finally back in action. A completely new, standalone project with no links to any previous work, All must surely be an illusion is essentially a parody of modern society, with a warning about the degree of danger posed by modern computer imagery, as compared with the more basic type Knightmare itself used back in the 1990s.

Dungeoneer Megan and her team continue their quest for the sword. Will level 2 prove too much for them?

Note: Many apologies for this releasing over a day late, this was due to a spanner in the works.

(It's me. I'm the spanner. I was concentrating so much on going to Knightmare Live this weekend that I forgot to upload a bloody episode!)

When Rea last joined us on Temporal Discussion: The Knightmare Podcast, our chat was so full of insights and memories that we didn’t quite have time to cover everything we wanted. So, Jake set out on a quest worthy of the Dungeon itself — tracking Rea back down for a follow-up conversation!

In this episode, Jake and Rea pick up where we left off, delving deeper into her experiences, clearing up a few lingering points, and uncovering even more behind-the-scenes stories from the world of Knightmare.

Hi Listeners of Illusion,
Due to various complications the edit for Episode 3 isn't complete yet, so we're having to postpone it a bit longer. In the meantime we'd like to present you with this special episode we recently recorded.

A while ago I thought it would be funny to as ChatGPT to write an episode of Temporal Discussion. This was the anarchic result. Originally this was just for my own amusement, but after discussing it with Kim and Martin O we decided to record and release the episode.
We're also running a small competition. The first person to message us (either by email, on Patreon, or on any of our socials) and correctly guess at least two of the prompts I put into ChatGPT for the episode wins a T-shirt. Obviously we're excluding the prompt "write an episode of Temporal Discussion" :). As Patreon supporters you all have a week's head-start on everybody else, so get guessing!
Dungeoneer Patrons and above will be getting a Dungeon Unlocked version of the episode as an added bonus, which features the full unedited audio. Keepers of the Book of Quests will also be getting a video version. We strongly suggest listening to the edited version first.
