Within Argynvostholt lies some challenges...especially if your party member decides to physically launch himself at the newly discovered foes without thought of consequence. Thanks Ferguson.

Show notes

The group followed a somewhat possessed/guided Arcene to a creepy (no kidding) mansion, where they've come across a short humanoid figure having a sandwich in front of a large dragon statue.

Show notes

Werewolf? There wolf, there castle. Now that that obvious reference is out of the way, we dip back into Barovia where Josh ruins a touching moment between Kent and Van Richten with some evil people pups. It's a combat episode, everyone!

CoS - The Gunman Comes Around: Episode 24 Jan 08, 2018

Show notes

They arrived at the wizard's tower and got a super special book (cheeeeeck that off the list). BUT, alas, Rictavio has yet another identity: Van Richten, the one from Madam Eva's tent. Remember that stinger on episode 19? The whole post-episode...thingy...yea, well, that! Hop on in and find out a bit more about the gunman who came around.

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

Show notes

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?
