About
What do a haughty sorceress, an aloof druid, an exiled bard, a jaded ex-mercenary and a shady barbarian have in common? Nothing, except they all work for the queen now. Welcome to Vyer.
Bad Heroes is a fantasy tabletop actual play podcast about a group of unlikely heroes forced to hunt deadly curses for the villainous ruler of a realm bound to Hell.
Follow the misadventures of Gydeon, Tonreir, Ira, Wingthe and Rihva as they try to bluff, reason, charm, intimidate and fight their way out of increasingly dangerous predicaments while surviving their own bad choices.
The campaign is played using Pathfinder 1E mechanics and set in an original world created and GMed by Drea Silvertooth. Our episodes are tightly edited and highly bingeable, with sound design and audio mastering by co-producer Lian Xia Rose.
If you’re a fan of action and intrigue with a healthy dose of comedy — and looking for a new long-form story to dive into — then you’ve come to the right place!

“Great audio quality, and a DM with captivatingly descriptive language. The characters are interesting and played by good natured role players. There’s a good mix of humor and drama. It’s a huge plus that the cast is diverse. Checks all my boxes for what I look for in a play podcast.“

“Came into this on a recommendation and dove on in. Before I knew it the ending music was playing and I smashed play on the next episode. Well done and very well paced. I like the rules lite aspect and the cast is great.”
