Tribulation is the account of the world from the point of view of Moses Shepherd, a runner from a compound in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. Listen in as this kind-hearted young doctor and his companions navigate the physical, cultural, and political landscape of a world that has all but fallen to heartless demons, powerful forgotten deities, and the damned.

This fictional universe of Tribulation was created by Mike Szczepaniak and the characters of Moses, Duke, Lydia, Charlie, and Kendra were all invented and played by his friends in a role-playing game that takes place in that world. The creator of the character Moses, Joshua Gwiazdowski, voices the podcast and writes the scripts.
