S1E1 - Tavern Tales Family – Episode 1

Wed, 06 Dec 2017 07:01:06 -0000

December has always been a month about Family for us and so we'd like to use December going forward to take a break from our regular Tavern Tales and Tavern Tales Junior routine and present to you every Wednesday this December our Tavern Tales: Family edition. We have a whole new intro and outro song thanks to @TryHardNinja. This episode has a warning at the start. The audio is a bit rough given that it was the first ever podcast we recorded, and edited. We've gotten a lot better since that fun Sunday afternoon in July of 2017, but this session and the two that follow when we went on vacation are near and dear to us, so if you can handle the lower audio quality we'd love to present to you the tales of our Dragonborn friends and family; The Order of the D.

Starring: The Goulds.

S1E2 - Tavern Tales Family – Episode 2 – The Necromancer’s Plight

Wed, 13 Dec 2017 07:01:28 -0000

Welcome to Tavern Tales Family Edition, our December special starring Marie-Claire as our Dungeon Master in the Dragonborn adventures "The Order of the D." We hope you are enjoying the continued adventures of Flaria Dragonia, the blue dragonborn monk and harpist along with her cousin, Thayan the white dragonborn cleric of Bahamut, the grizzled green dragonborn Fighter, Koste and no one's friend, Benson the red dragonborn sorceror of gold dragon heritage.

The group has left Redlarch and is on their way to Waterdeep with a container on behalf of a friend. These are the three sessions of Tavern Tales Family that took place in September and October of 2017.

We hope you enjoy the episode.

Starring: The Goulds

S1E3 - Tavern Tales Family – Episode 3 – Delivery to Waterdeep

Wed, 20 Dec 2017 07:01:54 -0000

Welcome back to the table for the last episode of Tavern Tales Family Edition, for 2017. We'll be back again next December with more of the amalgamated adventures of The Order of the D. For now, sit back and enjoy the next two hours' journey to Waterdeep and delivery of the crate we've been hauling since Redlarch. These sessions took place over November and early December of 2017.

And I honestly dare you to come up with a more insane, and yet wonderful, name for an inn in a Fantasy setting as is revealed in this episode.

We'll continue with our regular slate of Tavern Tales and Tavern Tales Junior in 2018.

Starring: The Goulds

These adventures took place over 2018 from a myriad of places and are compiled here in the amalgamated episodes for you. This one is particularly special as we recorded the first portion in our state room on the Carnival Freedom over Christmas of 2017.

S1E7 - Tavern Tales Family – Episode 7 – Chimera Character Creation Episode 1

Wed, 04 Dec 2019 07:01:43 -0000

Every December we put aside our regular programming for our Family game. But this December we don't start with The Order of the D. This year we start with our dear friend, Ryan Boelter's forthcoming game Chimera which will launch this coming 2020. Today we present TWO episodes concurrently.

Chimera is a Powered by the Apocalypse style game and as such the character building and world construction all happen as a group endeavor. We have edited this world building and character creation session into two episodes for you and next week we will present the game itself.

If you love character creation and world building, you will LOVE this pair of episodes. These are some insightful and impressively imaginative children and us adults were just happy to be along for the ride.

In August of 2019 the Goulds descended upon Gencon in Indianapolis and on the second night of the convention we gathered again in our hotel room to play, in person, with our good friend Rich. Rich wrote a wonderful adventure set in the Cypher System by Monte Cook Games and it once again gave the Gould kids, Robin and Wil, an opportunity to explore new systems and new ways to interact.

Join us for an opportunity to learn how to play in the Cypher system, but stick around for the hilarious characterizations and amazing descriptions these players and our GM Rich unfolds for us all.
