Public Domain Adventure Team: Total War

In the midst of one of history’s most well known and closely studied pieces of epic literature, Mr. Toad and the Ghost of Christmas Past must find someone who does not belong in an ancient Greek city and solve whatever problems they may have caused. Meanwhile, Jane Eyre must stop Beowulf from accidentally killing someone who is essential to the continuity. Will they succeed?

Public Domain Adventure Team In Time, Part 2

While Jane Eyre and Mr. Toad nearly met their death in a time traveling caper, Beowulf and the Ghost of Christmas Past had an adventure of their own. You are not prepared for the voyage of discovery that they went on in the distant future with a very friendly Morlock and some extremely weak boundaries of reality.

Public Domain Adventure Team S3E1: "All The Time in the War of the Worlds"

The Public Domain Adventure Team has always been a fabulous four but can they still be effective as a duo of powerful pairs? When Mr. Toad and Jane Eyre go on an accidental side mission into an alternate past that is embroiled in an alien invasion, even they don’t know if they will be able to save the day.

Jane Eyre's literary navigation has taken the team to another biblical landscape, though still not the one she was hoping for. How will they handle a run in with prophesy and some divine magic into the bargain?
