if i had a nickel for every time emily axford played a character who was devoted to another mortal instead of a deity in a way that grants her character divine power i would have three nickels which is one of the reasons why i love her so dearly and would also love to have even more nickels

Since the "outlaws & obelisks" tag is pretty barren, i thought I'd do an informational post for anyone who gets curious.
The setting is Utaram, a vast desert landscape that takes inspiration from both the US Southwest and Northern Africa, some decades after a magical apocalypse destroyed the powerful civilizations that had once sprawled across the desert, leaving sparsely-populated towns where people have to band together for survival. Reminders of that cataclysm are all around in the beings, both humanoid and beasts, who have been fused with other forms of life, like Onuris Budge, whose right arm is sometimes an elephant trunk and sometimes other things, and his animal companion (with a higher intelligence stat than him) Nebet, a leopard-flamingo. Wanderers like Chang Hushi, from the ancient Dulungai-Barun civilization far to the west, and Tovo Reeves, a bounty hunter with a mechanical exoskeleton, are not uncommon. With uncontrolled magic still heavy in the atmosphere, unreliable passages of time, and violent gangs seeking to gain influence in a chaotic landscape, threats abound. Budge, Hushi, and Tovo are thrown together in an unlikely quest for answers and a missing hat; as encounter breeds encounter, their goals, and the threats to Utaram, only seem to multiply like the time-displaced chickens in Hushi's bag.
It's quite brilliant, and unlike anything else currently being played that I know of. It's a POC-led, casually queer campaign with real stakes, wildly imaginative worldbuilding, and a series of fascinating unfolding mysteries as to the history of Utaram and the histories of the PCs themselves.
The DM is Jeremy Cobb (he/him), who has homebrewed the setting and cosmology from scratch, with a lot of research into ancient and medieval cultures of North Africa. Jeremy is one of the three hosts of Three Black Halflings, the podcast feed where Outlaws & Obelisks can be found. He also DMed their earlier campaign The Cub & the Caterpillar, using the Afrocentric Wagadu setting.
Hushi (they/them) is played by Connie Chang (they/he/she) of TransplanarRPG.
Budge (he/him) is played by Jonny Charles (he/him) of the_lonely_orchestra, who also provides the show's soundtrack.
Tovo (he/him) is played by Jasper William Cartwright (he/him), another of the hosts of Three Black Halflings.
Below the cut, there's some more spoilery information, including content warnings that people should know going in.
Later additions to the party include:
Episode 3: Panya (she/her), played by Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (they/them), the third host of Three Black Halflings.
Episode 6: Lu'Luh Jacksplit (she/her), played by Emily Axford (she/her) of Not Another D&D Podcast and Dimension 20.
The tone of Outlaws & Obelisks is among the most serious of the many actual-play and narrative-play podcasts I listen to. There's still plenty of comedy, because you can't have improvised narrative without it sometimes being silly, but it's an essentially dramatic story, with real weight behind much of the worldbuilding. All the players are deeply committed to their characters and unafraid to make big swings and accept the consequences.
And Jeremy is equally unafraid to make those consequences as dire as possible: the second episode ends on a note of such extreme brutality that it carries content warnings for suicide. The fourth episode also includes content warnings for body horror and child endangerment, and in general the show is not squeamish about body horror, given the emphasis on animal fusions in the first episode.
If it sounds like something you'd like, I strongly encourage you to give it a try. Emily's first episode hasn't even been released yet as I write this, but I'm betting she'll bring in some new listeners. Jump on in! The water's fine.

Conversation
Panya: decides to ride the plains with her husband eternally as someone who collects souls and they're both swallowed by huge skeletal jaws and vanish
Lu'luh: i've never been in a relationship, is that normal?

Cannot wait till the next time Hushi casts Fireball
[ID: a slightly out of focus woman is facing forward and walking towards the viewer; the words "Hushi with fireball” are superimposed on her chest. Behind her, a man is looking lustfully over his shoulder at the woman; the words “Tovo” are superimposed over his right arm. Another woman, presumably his girlfriend, is beside him with one hand on his shoulder also with a lustful face; the words “Lu'luh” are superimposed over her right shoulder. End of description]
Tovo and Lu’luh have the same love language: Give your friends stuff to blow shit up

NOT EMILY CRITTING TWICE IN THE SAME TURN, DOING MAX DAMAGE ON THE FIRST ATTACK AND A SECOND LEVEL SMITE ON THE SECOND. TRULY INSANE. HER POWER AS A PALADIN IS UNMATCHED.
