Thank you all for tuning in, and we'll see you all next week for a very special session!

In the meantime, don't forget to clean up your demon residue. It's the polite thing to do.

Our summoner has no recoveries left, so now is the PERFECT time to keep traversing the dungeon! Come roll some D10s with us LIVE now at...

A seemingly insurmountable number of elementals later, it feels like this wizard tower just keeps on going.

Will our Problem Players clear the dungeon without needing a basilisk egg omelette to carry on??

Find out TOMORROW on twitch at 9AM EST!

Thanks to all who tuned in for a more gruesome session, featuring our first PC death of the show. We're down one problem player next week, so I guess it worked out conveniently...

RIP "Catherine". We never even learned your real name.

Our Problem Players have fallen victim to the holiday season TTRPG curse & will NOT be meeting tomorrow morning at 9AM. Bummer.

But hey, if you don't play, your PCs will never die! Much to our Director's disdain...

Upcoming stream schedule TBA!

Now at sea, our Problem Players find themselves amidst a surprise inspection gone wrong. Seems like there's no talking their way outta this one.

(Alternatively? Our Director REALLY wanted to run ship combat.)

Let's hope they can swim as we resume their story TOMORROW at 9am EST live on twitch!

Sadly, we're down a problem player tomorrow (don't worry, our Director hasn't successfully killed one of us yet, they're just sick!)

Our story may pause this week, but you can still join us live on twitch at 2PM EST tomorrow while the rest of us play BG3 and yap. Audience participation encouraged!

Our illustrator, @rivermpillustrates.bsky.social, is apparently so talented that Instagram thought this loading-screen-in-progress was generative AI. Go figure. Incase anyone was wondering, we do not support AI usage at all, both inside and outside of TTRPGs. ALWAYS support #humanart :^)
