Season One of the Tales of Nowhere podcast follows the stories of a diverse team of four adventurers, each from different worlds, who are tasked with saving the multiverse from ultimate destruction. Working under the guidance of Copernicus Stratt, the brilliant scientist whose past experiments may have contributed to the multiverse's instability, the newly-dubbed Infiniteers travel to various universes to find and destroy the objects endangering them and form new bonds of friendship and family along the way.

Together, they must learn to navigate a multiverse where both the rules and themselves may change with every new place they go.

## Story Arcs

### Mini-Arcs

#### Not Quite Nowhere

In hopes of tracking down the Faceless Five, the Infiniteers trigger to a completely different multiverse. They don't find what they came for, but they find something else entirely.

*System:* Savage Worlds

#### Strange Lands

When the Infiniteers and their new companions are kidnapped into a grim alternate future, they attempt to escape by triggering back to their correct time, but something goes wrong. Instead, they are separated, each flung into wildly different settings without any means of communicating with each other or Copernicus. They must either use what limited resources they have to search for a way back or wait for a rescue that may or may not be coming.

*System:* Fate Accelerated Edition

#### Nowhere Like Home

When the Infiniteers' safe haven turns out to be safe no longer, they are forced to take to the shadows and tunnels of the place they've come to call home. With the help of their friends and the emergency protocols Copernicus has drilled into the other inhabitants of Nowhere, the team must find a way to oust the invading forces and reclaim their base of operations.

*System:* Tango

### Specials

Season One features two special episodes. These full-length episodes are self-contained stories, but they are fully integrated into the plot. As such, the events that occur in them are referenced on occasion throughout the primary arcs, but knowledge of the specials is not imperative to following the main plot.

The first was recorded to commemorate Mother's Day 2018, and all five mothers of the cast guest star. They play using a one-page RPG system called "Sugar and Spice," which the cast adapted from John Harper's *Lasers and Feelings.*

To celebrate reaching the milestone of fifty episodes, the team developed and performed a full-fledged musical extravaganza. Composer extraordinaire John Good wrote the music, and local talent Angie guest stars as Penny. The musical uses the one-page system CRAM by Rusty Gerard.

### Bonuses

These bite-sized episodes fall within the canon of the story but have only minor plot relevance. Due to their short lengths, they are not numbered.

### Coffee Breaks

In these non-numbered episodes, the Tales of Nowhere cast sit down between arcs to discuss their characters and the technical side of game-play. They share their opinions on the system they just played, and they each rate it in terms of "cups of coffee." Then, they preview the system they'll be using in the next arc and how they adapted their characters to fit within that setting.
