A new Dungeon Master has been elected to the border keep of Dunshelm, and he has a very profound item on his starting agenda; reform. He plans to streamline the way that the castle is run. In particular, he wants to reduce the size of its staff and payroll budget. However, it does not take him long to discover that his agenda will face a lot of opposition from within the castle itself, and that includes opposition from officials who are well-placed to scupper his ideas.

We couldn’t resist it forever. It’s been 9 years, hard to believe, but the Dunshelm Players are finally back in action. A completely new, standalone project with no links to any previous work, All must surely be an illusion is essentially a parody of modern society, with a warning about the degree of danger posed by modern computer imagery, as compared with the more basic type Knightmare itself used back in the 1990s. It features debuts for Jason Karl (who was a dungeoneer in season 2, and later went on to a career as a television presenter), Kim Stewart-Crossley of the Temporal Discussion podcast, Kim Harder (wife of Martin H), Laura Bean, Scott Evans (a dungeoneer in season 3 of Knightmare ), and Rea Pearson (a team advisor in season 5). As ever, the play is not set at Christmas, includes no reference to Christmas whatsoever, and is entirely unrelated to Christmas, and so it will be available to listen to during the Christmas period 2025, as yet another non-festive festive offering. Nice to bring back an old tradition.

Note: Many apologies for this releasing over a day late, this was due to a spanner in the works. (It's me. I'm the spanner. I was concentrating so much on going to Knightmare Live this weekend that I forgot to upload a bloody episode!) When Rea last joined us on Temporal Discussion: The Knightmare Podcast, our chat was so full of insights and memories that we didn’t quite have time to cover everything we wanted. So, Jake set out on a quest worthy of the Dungeon itself — tracking Rea back down for a follow-up conversation! In this episode, Jake and Rea pick up where we left off, delving deeper into her experiences, clearing up a few lingering points, and uncovering even more behind-the-scenes stories from the world of Knightmare.
