15	** ''Podcast/TheAdventureZoneBalance'': A trio of adventurers are hired to escort a wagon, which quickly slides into a story of family, doomsday artifacts, and conning shopkeepers out of their wares.
16	** ''Podcast/TheAdventureZoneAmnesty'': A few ordinary people uncover a secret in an Appalachian town and become its protectors against what lurks in the dark. Unlike the previous campaign, it's run through the ''TabletopGame/MonsterOfTheWeek'' system.
