When a group of acquaintances from different corners of the gaming industry met up at a random pub in London on 28th June 2023, we had no clue the scale of the journey we were about to set off on. We never could have dreamed that such an amazing community would show up and support us, and build the world of Reliquiae right along with us. Our ambitions for the series, our characters and the world of Reliquiae stretch far, far beyond ten episodes - we have big ideas for this adventure, and we’re just getting started.

An eventful episode that started with a stakeout and ended with a jailbreak - how are the six feeling after maybe their most complex episode yet?

While the team might have a fireside moment to rest (and a chance to level up), there's still plenty to talk about in this episode for Action Surge. From discussing our new abilities, we delve into the importance of battle tactics, the pressures of decision-making in the heat of the moment, and how Harry has to adapt to our ever-evolving (or lack thereof) strategies.

In one of the most story-driven episodes yet, the group reflects on their characters' development and the inspirations behind bringing the brothers to life. They also explore what might have happened if Harry had stuck to his original plan to guide the group toward Lode instead of Mouse. Plus, Aoife shares her thoughts on leaving the Spider Prince on read.

In this episode, Harry dives deep into the creative process behind homebrewing every NPC and enemy, revealing how a well-timed bomb and the clever use of Hypnotic Gaze changed the course of battle.

We’re back with some exciting discussions in this episode of Action Surge! Now that we can finally play music during our sessions (it’s no longer just added in post-production), we explore how it completely transforms the atmosphere in the room. We talk about how Harry composed The Gloam theme, and yes, that’s him singing too! We also unpack the ultimate spoon moment, the purity of gift-giving, and how carefully placed truths help drip-feed backstory. Lastly, we dive into the challenge of balancing encounters, and why, as a DM, Harry creates a world where victory is possible—turns out, he’s not always trying to kill us! Action Surge is Natural Six's fortnightly post-show debrief, where Dungeon Master Harry and the cast break down their favourite moments, their regrets, and any theories from the Dungeons and Dragons session they've just played, as well as adding their thoughts and hopes for future play. #NaturalSix #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #actualplay

Hail and well-met, traveler—welcome to Action Surge! In today's episode, we delve into the art of quick game-switching, as Harry effortlessly shifts from dice to cards, and explore the fast-paced creation of Iago. We also dive into the "Casino Royale" of it all, and how Elli's bankrolling might hit a snag if the team’s spending spree continues! Along the way, we tackle note-taking, how our brains do (or don’t) cooperate at the table, and naturally, this merry band of mischief-makers has plenty to say about morality.

Woah. Well that was a close one! After one hell of an eventful episode, the gang decompress and share their thoughts on what just transpired. Who's afraid of putting their character in danger? What are the deeper mechanics of the Deck of Many Friends? Harry talks about how he prepares for potentially deadly player encounters, and whether he anticipated potential romantic pairings between players. Also, we do love a powerful new Kel-flavoured cantrip.

Join us as we decompress and unpack an emotional rollercoaster filled with tough choices and unexpected chaos. We discuss how we navigate pacing and the tricky nature of fast travel. Also, what lessons can we learn from bat-frog and the age-old wisdom of “maybe don't lick mysterious things” (unless you roll a Nat 20, of course)? Plus, we dive into that luck check in Veil—what could it have meant? And, of course, the biggest moral dilemma of them all: to kill or not to kill? Also, a word to the wise: drink responsibly (or risk the wrath of wine-xiety). Action Surge is Natural Six's fortnightly post-show debrief, where Dungeon Master Harry and the cast break down their favourite moments, their regrets, and any theories from the Dungeons and Dragons session they've just played, as well as adding their thoughts and hopes for future play. #NaturalSix #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #actualplay

Join us for a deep dive into lore, luck, and lingering questions! Episode 19 offered moments of growth, reflection, and a glimpse at the chaos still to come. We discuss Kelnys’ enigmatic nature—open book or Pandora’s box?—and explore the Endless-Oceaners’ place in Reliquiae. Harry shares unused story ideas, while we highlight the value of asking players about their characters' thoughts—offering insights dice can’t deliver. Plus, Alex’s shares his theories on Kelnys, Ben discusses Raidion’s spell choices (does he even Wizard properly?), and why world-building makes every moment feel monumental. Also, will Elowen and Raidion's “marriage” ever lead to a happy ending? Let’s unpack it all! Action Surge is Natural Six's fortnightly post-show debrief, where Dungeon Master Harry and the cast break down their favourite moments, their regrets, and any theories from the Dungeons and Dragons session they've just played, as well as adding their thoughts and hopes for future play. #NaturalSix #dn

Join us and celebrate the holidays in true Natural Six fashion—with chaos, camaraderie, cocktails, and a few unexpected surprises! In our Christmas special, we gather around to share stories, indulge in (a few too many) themed drinks, and reflect on the adventures of the past year. We’ve got quizzes, Secret Santa gifts to unwrap, and of course, matching Natural Six PJs! Whether you’re with family and friends or enjoying a cozy night at home, come celebrate with us as we toast to old friends, new beginnings, and the excitement of our adventures to come in 2025.

The Payoff is Everything! In this episode, we couldn’t wait to rush back to the table to process all the twists, turns, and emotional moments. We dive deep into Kelnys and his magic amulet, unpack the unexpected crossover with Klaaks and The Broken Pebble (our Patreon-based audio adventure), and explore how lore drops and character stories intertwine. We reflect on the vulnerability of that comes with exploring on your own, the magic of Harry’s unforgettable innkeeper performances, and the fine art of balancing humour, camaraderie, and the serious stakes of the game. There’s laughter, heartfelt moments, and yes—Harry’s charming belief that wasps make jam. Action Surge is Natural Six's fortnightly post-show debrief, where Dungeon Master Harry and the cast break down their favourite moments, their regrets, and any theories from the Dungeons and Dragons session they've just played, as well as adding their thoughts and hopes for future play.

This IS Rock Justice! If you’ve ever been on the fence about joining us for our post-show breakdowns, this episode is the perfect showcase of the insights, surprises, and behind-the-scenes details that make it all worth it. Harry dives into the enigmatic power of The Wasp, while Doug reflects on Kelnys’ “should’ve, could’ve, would’ve” decision-making. Together, they unpack the fascinating role of happenstance during Kel’s shapeshifting moment. We also chat about our uncanny knack for making—and breaking—new friendships (surely a record this time?), Harry’s plans to delve deeper into Raidion’s memories, Alex’s experience of playing a character defined by discovery rather than secrets, and, of course, Dolly’s moment of destructive brilliance (she really packs a punch when she wants to!).

As the Newly Dead continue their adventure through Reliquiae, plots thicken and mysteries deepen. If you're just joining this party already in progress and want to dive straight in to our latest episodes (or if you simply need a quick refresher!), this recap from episodes 1-20 will help bring you up to speed on all the major story beats. Of course, there's so much more to the world and the characters than that, so we recommend going back and enjoying the campaign at your own leisure at some point. Enjoy! Natural Six are Harry McEntire, Doug Cockle, Ben Starr, Hollie Bennett, Alex Jordan and Aoife Wilson. #NaturalSix #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #actualplay

We’ve not cried like this since Armageddon! The gang sat down for a full-on session of millennial therapy after our most intense episode yet. We discuss the power of storytelling, emotional whiplash and the joy of seeing long planned moments come to fruition at the table. Harry reveals previously unseen chambers of the Sanctum model, the inevitability of Erastus Gracey, and reflects on the magic created when players do something entirely unexpected. There’s chat about mastering mechanics, the dice telling the story, and reveals that offer more questions than answers. Plus we delve into a new piece of music in the episode and reveal the inspiration behind it. Though short a Ben Starr for much of this installment, we remained rich in ideas, innuendos and chat. It’s what he would have wanted.

The new Monster Manual is out now, packed with terrifying creatures, powerful abilities, and tactical challenges for any D&D game. But let’s be honest—that’s not why we’re here. While some might analyse stat blocks and combat strategies, we’re asking the real questions. The important questions. The HARD questions: Would you? With the help of our friends at Wizards of the Coast, we're flipping through the latest bestiary and making some…deeply personal assessments. Join us as we play Smash or Pass (Without Trace) with the brand-new Monster Manual.

Action Surge sneaks up on you… here we are again! This week, we kick things off with a very important reminder—Doug couldn’t fly. Unfortunately, everyone except Doug had completely forgotten that, leading to an unforgettable (and gravity-assisted) trip from the top of The Sanctum to the lake below. When the dice dictate the options, you just have to roll with it… literally. Ben dives into the philosophy of putting the story first, even when it puts Raidion in serious jeopardy. We also take a moment to reflect on Yilda’s Bond Villain Syndrome—making a dramatic exit before making sure the job was actually finished. Meanwhile, we entertain the absolute chaos that would unfold if Aska was ever truly let loose on Mouse… and, more importantly, on Elowen’s brothers. Finally, Alex shares more about I’s state of mind as the journey to the Old Dark looms ever closer. How has I’s outlook shifted over time? What’s weighing on him most?

Action Surge is back, and we have a lot to unpack, starting with the undeniable truth that the dice have their own story to tell… and that dice tower? Absolutely cursed. This week, we dive into Wildshape with an emphasis on the WILD, as Kelnys goes full feral, in more ways than one. Some days, you really do just want to fight. Speaking of chaos, we also reflect on the longest we’ve ever been a split party and the unpredictability that came with it. Of course, we can’t ignore Harry’s ring...wait, no, not like that! We mean the rings. Look, there are threads, chapters, legions, and now rings are at play here, and honestly? We are not necessarily mature enough for this. This episode also marked our first real conversation with the Gloam, and, well… they weren’t exactly what we expected. Raidion, naturally, wants to pick apart everything. Meanwhile, we break down Kelnys’ state of mind immediately following such a major revelation, and we analyse that sending stone message, what it means

The atmosphere this week? Thiccc. Yes, with three C's! Tensions are high as we break down the heavy conversation between Dolly and Raidion, and the impact it had on the entire party. Some moments leave a mark, but this one really lingered. We also dive into the importance of laying ground rules between players, especially when characters come in hot. Navigating those intense moments isn’t always easy, but building trust at the table makes all the difference. The best moments? They come from knowing we’ve got each other’s backs, as players and as friends. Of course, we can’t forget those sending stones. A blessing and a curse, those tricky little things have a way of stirring the pot, and this week was no exception. Harry also opens up about a mistake he made this episode (yes, even he makes them too!). Meanwhile, Doug reflects on the chaotic joy of battling the purple worm, though perhaps less joyfully on the whole being digested part.

Welcome to Natural Six, a D&D actual play where chaos, secrets, and high-stakes storytelling collide. Five adventurers. One fractured realm. And a deadly organisation known only as the Web, pulling strings from the shadows. Featuring a cast of video game performers and personalities. Harry McEntire, Doug Cockle, Ben Starr, Hollie Bennett, Alex Jordan, and Aoife Wilson each bring their own unique energy (and varying levels of D&D experience) to the table. Ready to join us? Step into the world of Reliquiae, and join our adventurers as we navigate political intrigue, battle formidable foes, and attempt to survive our own questionable decisions

We’ve got a big month ahead and we’re going to walk you through all of it. We’re heading to PAX East in Boston (May 8–11) and MCM London (May 23–25), with signings, panels, live shows, and a few chaotic surprises. Not only that, but we’re also giving you the first details about our next merch drop, which includes early access for anyone coming to MCM London. Yes, we’ve got our very own stand. Plus, we will be bringing an exclusive item! And if you haven’t already, don’t forget, the Natural Six fandom is now live and growing fast! It’s the biggest collection of Natural Six lore out there, and every click helps!

We begin, once more, inside Raidion… This week, we’re deep in it. Blighted, bruised, and still somehow standing. We kick things off with yet another reminder that balancing fights for this party is…a challenge to say the least (Sorry, Harry). When your main damage dealer misses every hit and the enemy still drops? That’s tricky, to say the least. Ben unpacks Raidion’s fearlessness, his willingness to throw himself in the line of fire (blight and all), and how that ties into deeper themes of mortality and purpose. Meanwhile, Aoife dives into Dolly’s mindset, and why going after Kelnys wasn’t just emotional, it was necessary. But with doubts creeping in, is she starting to unravel? We also dig into the strange, symbiotic relationship between Parvus and Themself. Is Parvus the anti-Antiqua? We talk divine fallout, cosmic expectations, and the tension brewing between him and the rest of the old gods’ chosen.

No Alex this week, but we do have champagne courtesy of Dr Kagon, so honestly, who's complaining? If Elowen and Dolly can’t have bottomless brunch, then Hollie and Aoife absolutely will. Episode 27 gave us lore, chaos, and one very dramatic amphibian moment. A true episode of two halves: story-rich setups and an epic (and slightly froggy) fight that saw the cast go toe to webbed toe with a creature beautifully brought to life by Mark at Crafted Campaigns. Honestly, give them their flowers, the minis stole the scene (as usual). Ben reflects on how these big battles often give us more than just combat, and this one was no exception. With the portal open and the dust settling, it feels like the end of a season, and knowing our love for a good 13-episode arc, we’re excited to see where we end up! Despite how seamlessly it all came together, Harry admits this episode had plenty of last-minute changes. Yes, that includes adding the death roll.

Turns out the landslide did NOT bring this party down. Spoilers ahead - Natural Six are discussing everything that happened in Natural Six Episode 2 "The Shadow Will Flood," and BOY did a lot of things happen. Action Surge is Natural Six's fortnightly post-show debrief, where Dungeon Master Harry and the cast break down their favourite moments, their regrets, and any theories from the Dungeons and Dragons session they've just played, as well as adding their thoughts and hopes for future play. #NaturalSix #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #actualplay

We’re excited to finally reveal Merch Drop 2: The God Killers Collection, is going live on May 30th at 4PM BST—and yes, it’s just as dramatic as it sounds. In this video, Hollie will walk you through everything that’s coming to the store, from vintage band-inspired tees to our very first set of dice (good rolls not guaranteed, sorry). Plus, everything you need to know to help make sure you don’t miss out! Explore the collection now at https://naturalsix.myshopify.com and set a reminder, because when it’s gone, it’s gone. And last time? Things didn’t hang around. As always, thank you so much for making things like this possible. Every single order supports more stories, more chaos, and more Natural Six. We can’t wait to see what you grab!

This week on Action Surge: neigh means neigh. We kick things off with a quick reflection on the episode that saw Dolly temporarily hoofing it back to the battle, because when the plan falls apart, sometimes four legs really are better than two. The Gloam might say anyone can put on a cloak, but infiltrating their ranks? That’s another story. We reflect on the fight, the messiness, and the distinct lack of a plan that got us there. Honestly, no notes. Harry shares what it’s like prepping for this sandbox chapter of the campaign, including the unique joy of trying to anticipate every possible route, decision, and chaotic left turn. Spoiler: it involves keeping Crafted Campaigns on speed dial.

Harry wants you to know, none of this is personal. This week on Action Surge, Harry starts things off by expressing how deeply grateful he is that we filmed Episode 29 on a Sunday, not a Saturday. Apparently, he wasn’t prepared for... well, any of it. Which means, clearly, we’re winning D&D. That’s how you win, right? Just completely ignore whatever your DM had planned. And sorry again to Mark at Crafted Campaigns. We unpack our rather bold approach to this episode. Stealth hasn’t exactly been our strong suit lately, so this time we took the front door. Literally. And Dolly? Dolly was the ticket in. Harry talks about the challenge of running two groups simultaneously in the same location, on the same timeline, acting separately, and what happens when they maybe start to overlap. He might have been stressed, but we’ve got to say, it didn’t show.

Join Alex, Ben, Harry, and Aoife as they embark on an epic journey from Dungeons & Dragons to Magic: The Gathering under the expert guidance of Adam The Gathering → ‪@adamthegathering‬ Watch as they open booster packs, build decks themed around their Natural Six characters, and learn the ins and outs of MTG for the very first time. Can Adam take them from being brand-new players to being ready for an intense game of Commander, and will their D&D skills give them an edge in the world of Magic? Tune in to find out!

It’s all going really well… until it isn’t. In this episode of Action Surge, Harry reflects on the delicate balance between giving players freedom and pushing them toward the decisions that matter. Aoife opens up about being the centre of attention, how she doesn’t always love it, how Dolly handles it, and why it’s easier when it’s on her own terms. We break down how a perfectly timed natural 20 can stop someone from being alone, and how the dice really do weave their own story. Speaking of stories, we also dive into the importance of knowing when to step back. Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should, sometimes the best way to play together is letting someone else have the spotlight.

What if one decision changed everything? Take a peek at the trailer for our upcoming one-shot adventure, inspired by The Alters, the latest survival game from ‪@11bitstudios‬. Made in collaboration with AMD, Natural Six reimagines the game’s world as a bespoke TTRPG. Join the team as they explore the themes of identity, consequence, and choice in an original one-shot that explores what it really means to be you. Expect drama, clones, high-stakes survival…plus the occasional identity crisis.

What if one decision changed everything? Survival has never been so personal… Join us for a huge adventure on a planet far away in this sponsored one-shot adventure, inspired by The Alters, the latest survival game from 11 Bit Studios. Made in collaboration with AMD, Natural Six reimagines the game’s world as a bespoke TTRPG! Jan Dolski is trapped with only one chance at survival: Rapidium and the help of himself… himselves? Explore the themes of identity, consequence, and choice in an original one-shot that explores what it really means to be you. Expect drama, clones, high-stakes survival… and the occasional identity crisis.

We’ve tried, but this time, it just wasn’t possible. With so many secrets flying around, we had no choice but to continue the theme and split the party for Action Surge too. On the plus side, all that getting up and down from the table probably means none of us are getting a DVT. Silver linings. As you may have guessed, these episode descriptions are written by someone who is not the DM, which means this person was neither in the room for all of episode 31 nor for all of Action Surge. So, in this episode, we break down everything we can from episode 31, reflecting on the highs, the lows, and the revelations in between. It’s a tale of two halves, or three. And quite honestly, unless you’re Harry, you should be grateful you even got that much.

Okay, we won’t lie. That episode was a marathon. Yes, it was too good to stop, and in fairness, we didn’t want to stop either. But the weight of what did, didn’t, and almost happened left us emotionally and physically drained. Worth it? Absolutely. This was a true reunion, for both players and characters, and the Newly Dead came back together in the only way they know how: dealing (and taking) a healthy dose of damage. At least they weren’t fighting each other this time, right? In this episode of Action Surge, Harry guides his tired little soldiers through an episode full of death, barters, secrets, and desperation to break down what might be our most impressive team-building exercise to date. (Though Hollie is still convinced Elowen could’ve taken him if it came down to it. And it almost did.)

We start with energy. Chaotic energy. At the time of filming Episode 33, it had been nearly six weeks since we sat round the table and played a game of D&D together for our main campaign. And if you’ve been following us for a while, you’ll know we tend to get rather feral when we’ve been apart too long. But this episode is more than just our chaotic start. As we symbolically close one arc and step into a new chapter, we finally come together to explore not just Episode 33, but everything we’ve experienced in Haven. This week, we dig into Harry’s relationship with Parvis, the choices that were made, and the weight of those moments not just for him, but for the group as a whole. Alex even shares some kobold lore and gives us his take on how he thinks kobolds would say goodbye.

We’re back with Action Surge and this time? That orb’s got some bounce. This episode had it all. A little bit of travel, a bit of combat, and the newly dead once again proving that if you leave them alone long enough, they will start arguing. But let’s talk about that combat. Because honestly? This might have been our most Avengers moment yet. We were coordinated. We were flashy. We even got to see some new spells drop, and frankly, what’s not to love? We dig into how differently characters and players interpret information, and the lasting impact of choices made in the moment. Even, or especially, when you don’t have all the facts. Apparently that’s a theme this episode. Who knew? We also explore planning, morality, and the delightfully chaotic space where those two things don’t always agree. And filming day just so happened to be Mark from Crafted Campaigns’ birthday, so naturally, we shout him out in the most chaotic way possible. Happy birthday, Mark!

This week we began with a brief but vital chat about sitting on a d4. Look, we had it, so you need to listen to it. Mercifully, we then moved on to discussing I (the character, not the me) taking control of the narrative. We talked about the Gloam camp - what the players were expecting and how those expectations were confounded by reality. This led to discussion of overthinking and overplanning when it comes to encounters, and how the players can sometimes be their own worst enemies. Still, there was time to revel in a rare instance of a plan going off without a hitch. We ruminated on what was next for Mina Lavigne - widow of Azrel - and whether she would be able to avoid falling into the clutches of a midlife crisis, ending in her getting involved in one of the many multi level marketing schemes that blight Reliquiae. And that’s canon now.

This week, we're turning Spoiler Chat on its head. Honestly? We’re keeping you lot fed. Because if Episode 36 gave us anything, it was answers…and about a dozen more questions to go with them. Before we get too deep into the lore spiral, we kick things off with a chat about mushroom monsters and the seemingly universal urge to run away from Mouse. Oh, and Raidion casually dropping level 4 spells like he’s trying to dim Dolly’s light (Rude). There’s clearly more going on in those caves than just a missing god, but let’s be real, this one’s all about that second half. We dig into what it means to take everyone along for the ride, what actually goes into meeting a god (including the prep time for DoubleJump), and the emotional fallout that follows. We try to unpack what’s really going on with Raidion, that magical deck of cards, and we debunk one of Discord's Spoiler Chat’s most beloved theories. There’s plenty of theorising about Kelnys too, and both Alex and I, the character not the…

We’re heading back to MCM Comic Con London this October with a packed weekend of chaos!

We can’t wait to see you there! How this content was made

This week we’re splitting the party, telling our stories, and, in true Natural Six fashion, getting immediately distracted along the way (puggles, anyone?). But at the heart of it all is I stepping into his moment, wrapping things up, and saying goodbye, because who doesn’t love a good story? Oh, and don’t forget to tell the hatchlings! We dive into Ben’s decision to go back and speak with Themself, when that choice was made, and what he hoped to find there. Of course, we can’t resist talking about Harry’s ever-expanding catalogue of kobold voices, and how the evolution of I shows just how far he’s come since his early hatchling days (chaos very much included).
