open.spotify.com/episode/6way... Forgot to post this one last week! Episode 072 - The Lover We hit a massive milestone over surpassing 100K downloads today! I'm super proud. On a short break as I'm moving house. See you soon. #planescape #audiofiction #audiodrama #dnd #voiceacting

Two figures stand silhouetted before a large window/glass door.
They are in a loving embrace.
One is the Nameless One a human with amnesia, who cannot seen to die, the other is Annah a tiefling who has lost all in her life.
The title of the piece is 'Doomed'
Mostly black and white ink sketch with some greys to fill out shadows and tone.

open.spotify.com/episode/3Hep... Hey folx, Another episode - this bit of the story has given me an opportunity to play a little more with sound design - I hope you enjoy! Episode 071 - The Mage #planescape #planescapetorment #audiofiction #audiodrama #voiceacting

A distraught woman leans against a stone plinth that holds a glowing red gem. She is wearing fine regency era clothing.
Most of the image is black and white, except for the glowing gem, and the woman's glowing red eyes.

open.spotify.com/episode/43ou... I'm really proud of this episode. It's very different to the usual form. I'd really appreciate any ears finding their way to it, and to hear your thoughts 070 - The Warrior - Planescape: Torment - The Unofficial Audio Series #planescape #audiofiction #voiceacting

A high contrast ink sketch depicting Ghysis, a wounded warrior, a veteran of the fantasy horror that is the Blood War. He is in a wheelchair and wears a lapelled jacket, and harsh shadows are cast over a creased face.
The spotlight surrounding him further accentuates these shadows and the moody atmosphere.

open.acast.com/public/strea... Latest episode of the Planescape Audio Series Our Nameless protagonist goes to a shop of planar curios... yes it's a shopping episode. #planescape #planescapetorment #fantasy #audiofiction #audiodrama

A well-dressed thug, wielding a battle-axe and carrying a metal box. The metal box has vents on the side. The thug is wearing a tweed waistcoat, with a frilly rough, and has a 'shooting stick'... for some reason.

A cartoonish line-drawing of a Doppelganger Mime Artist.
The main figure is depicted with shimmering skin, and a heavily painted face, accentuating their lips, eyes and cheeks - in the form of classic mime artists in the real world.

I think my vertigo has finally gone - but holy shit, that was about 6 weeks! I realised in this time, each year I've had a break from my usual stuff for about 2 months. This time it was forced. Now though, I'm trying to get back in the flow, but it's tentative.

Which deity do I have to pray to/(not above selling my soul) to get rid of vertigo. 2 weeks now.

youtu.be/cPft2CE4thU open.acast.com/public/strea... Latest episode 066 - Ascension Phew - this was a push. I hadn't finished writing until Sunday night, then recorded and edited Monday and today. Not advised. But I'm pleased with it! #planescape #planescapetorment #dnd #audioseries #voiceacting

A bold depiction of the magical battle axe Ascension; the creation of the Nameless One as part of his Triad of Tests in joining the Godsmen Faction. The axe is formed of a twin serpent coiling round itself to form the handle, rising to the axe head of two hands, with a singular eye in the centre.
The colours are pinks, purples, yellows and greens. It is mystical and both intriguing and disturbing.

Ben Chandler @benchandler.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

open.acast.com/public/strea... Episode 065 - Enlightenment Phew! This chapter hasn't been easy. I'm taking a break after the next episode comes out, because this year has been a challenge. But onwards! #planescape #audioseries #voiceacting #audiodrama #audiofiction

Another geometric piece depicting a stiletto being sharpened on a stone grinding wheel, with blocky structure and lots of more organic flashes of paint creating the 'sparks'.
The colours are cool blues and greys.

The problem with using AI in TTRPG’s is that even if you’re using it to “organize” information or as a “joke” You’re still using it. You’re depriving yourself and sucking the life from your game. I will continue to believe that AI has zero place in TTRPG’s.

A bright and bold painting, using acrylic pens, of a hammer striking a piece of iron on an anvil.
The picture is stylised with most of it being dominated by a flaring spark of orange, red and yellow.

I don't know - it's tough. I think it's possibly easier to have a 'presence' (social media etc) by focussing-in on one thing. But, I feel any creative pursuit can benefit from having that range of skills. (And probably many creative people are drawn to exploring different ways of expressing that)

I'm coming to the realisation that this show I'm making is so big. 63 episodes in, and I feel like I'm just over half way through. The initial goal was to have the project finished by November '26. How long before it becomes unreasonable for listeners (particularly new ones) to engage with it?

Ben Chandler @benchandler.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

'Episode 063 - Bitter Justice' is out now: open.acast.com/public/strea... Artwork by me is 'Je ne ressen rien' - a watercolour and ink painting. I've struggled writing this chapter, writing through till Saturday night (3 days before release), but found something I'm proud of. #audiodrama #voiceactor

'Je ne ressen rien' is an ink and watercolour painting that depicts the protagonist of the show (the Nameless One) sat at a bar - empty glasses beside him. The bright colour palette contrasts the sadness of his pose.

It makes such a difference when the sample text or scene for an audition is engaging. I've had a few auditions lately that have been a genuine pleasure to do- -compare that to ones where it just seems like anything is put up there. Thank you to the Casting Teams out there who rock! #voiceacting

This week's ep and art: open.acast.com/public/strea... 062 - Arms of the Law This chapter has been a challenge, but I'm pleased how it's turning out (although I'm still writing the conclusion) #audiofiction #voiceacting #watercolour #planescape #dnd #planescapetorment #audiodrama #fantasy #art

'Belle Foule' is a watercolour and ink painting depicting Corvus (the Harmonium Guard) stood amidst a crowd of passers-by. Most of the colours are blues and yellows that appear muted to contrast the bright red 'lobster-like' armour of the main subject.

'Pour Moi?' a watercolour depiction of Annah stealing the necklace off a noble, while he kisses her hand. The style has bold colours and casual but expressive lines.

It's been really nice using Moonbeam. I've been using steaming as a way of staying on task. Today I was recording VO for the Planescape Audio Series. The other day, I was writing. I'm by no means a proficient streamer, but I do yap a lot when trying to think through challenges
