    Bucky and Drew share some changes going on and introduce our guest-filled "Meanwhile in Barovia" series starting next year.


    CoS - The Gunman Comes Around: Episode 23 Dec 22, 2017

    Happy holidays! Have an early episode, on us! Today you can experience a new episode just like a Patreon subscriber: flippin' early. Like, Friday instead of Monday early. As an audience, you've been incredible and it's just a little something from us to you to say thanks. Hopefully this can get you through some solid commute time to wherever you may be headed. And if you're not headed anywhere, listen to it anyways? Or if you're around family, grab your closest boombox (boombox? Yes, boombox) and blast that s&%#.

    Last episode, our party of classy individuals found themselves at a wizard's tower, thanks to Rictavio's direction, but they seem to be in a predicament. Ferguson is being testy with Rictavio, Kent seems to be hurt when he approaches the tower, and Ven can't [enter dance move here because I'm not savvy enough these days to come up with an appropriate reference, you kids and your sweet moves...]. What wiiiill they do?

    Taking Strahd's advice (um, what?), the party hopped into the nearest shelter to avoid the heavy rain and dangerous night. However, will this windmill prove to be safe? Will Strahd be back to claim them? And who are these strange women?

    And so we come to the finale of the "House of Spoops" arc. What awaits them at the end? Will they live? Will they die? Will they become best buds with the monster in the basement, maybe play a bit of poker and share some wine? Oh, maybe the monster isn't anything at all. Maybe the kids are straight up liars! ::shrugs:: I guess we will have to see. Please keep in mind, this is not the end of "Taking Initiative!" The next episode concerning the Curse of Strahd module will release as usual in two weeks, aka June 26th, under the title "Barovian Rhapsody." But what does this mean for the party?

    CoS - House of Spoops: Episode 08 May 29, 2017

    Kent found his dream girl, though his dream girl doesn't give any shits and isn't afraid to talk to her ferret about it. Also, guys, stop touching chests in a spooky house. Just stop. Bad things happen! This is "Curse of Strahd," not "Kleptotown!" Though, that being said, that sounds like a fun mod. You could get points for the amount of stuff you swipe. It's essentially the video game "Thief," but the tabletop RPG! Hm, I'll be back, I need to go relay this idea to Bucky. Oh, and before I forget, the "House of Spoops" finale, episode 09, airs on June 12th! You really won't want to miss it. Hey! Bucky! I gots an idea!

For the first time, the four party members are truly together using the power of Internet. Will they conquer their sass and be the team they need to be? Meh, probably not, but let's see!

    Aw, dem kids are cute. Dead, but cute. Our group of goofs take the kids on a field trip and traverse into the depths of the Death House, discovering that the basement has a similar feel to the top floors of the house: it hurts. Can our heroes (?) make it out alive? Or is this the unwarranted dark D&D sequel to the movie "Monster House?" Remember that movie? That was a thing. Also, I don't even think that comparison makes sense. Meh. Remember to tune back in on May 15th for episode 07. Enjoy!

    Kent's not feeling too hot. After going through that ordeal, who can blame him? Nonetheless, our heroes...are they heroes? They haven't really done much heroism yet...Arcene and her group of people carry on through the house, where they cross paths with a newcomer. How am I DMing this group of misfits? Now I know how Adam Notmylastname feels. Remember to tune back in on April 17th for episode 05. Enjoy!

Oh, and there is something trying to kill them. That, too. Episode 04 will be out on April 3rd. Enjoy!

Unless...you have them all. Good job, hypothetical person!

    Make sure to tweet out using the hashtag #TILaunchParty to be entered into the giveaway! This closes EOD April 13, 2017. If you have any questions, reach out to us on social media.

    Oh, and if you're enjoying the show, make sure to let us know! iTunes reviews are HUGE helps, but even a stop by on Twitter to go "hey, loved that sh*t. Kent for life!" would be a day brightener for all of us.

    Thanks again, see you on March 20th for the third episode of "House of Spoops."

    CoS - House of Spoops: Episode 02 Mar 06, 2017

    We rejoin the party as they explore the interior of the Death House. One thing is for certain: the players are getting restless. Things are tense: Nick is flipping out, Bucky and Drew are touching literally everything, and Josh is enjoying putting everyone through the anxiety ringer. Episode 03 will be out on March 20th. Enjoy!

    CoS - House of Spoops: Episode 01 Feb 01, 2017

    Due to the extremely positive feedback we received over at "The Once and Future Nerd," we decided to release our first episode early on our own channel! March 6th, our original release date, will now be the release of our second episode. If you are new to the podcast: welcome! If you are coming from "TOAFN," this may sound a bit familiar, but you'll now get new content two weeks earlier than intended. Enjoy!
