The Naturolls

Look, I'm going to level with you. It's really hard to schedule enough sessions to make sure we have something for you every two weeks. Players get busy. Sometimes they go on vacation or something like that. 

Right now, we're waiting to run our next session of our current storyline (The Rise of the Confident Three), so we're sitting down with Aryathen the Dragonling himself, Fatewalker!

Thanks to John (which is APPARENTLY his human name) for talking with me about his history with TTRPGs, why Daggerheart feels SO different from the other stuff he's played, and what's in store for everyone's favorite lil dragon. There's a lot of stuff in here you won't get if you JUST listen to the main story, so make sure you check it out!

The meeting at Ki's shop got off to a bad start.

When she told The Confident Three "hurry over and don't be discovered," she wasn't exactly picturing the two (and a half?) dead guards they'd leave in their wake.

Still, she asks for their help. Lucky for her, The Confident Three are never without an ingenious plan.

Unlucky for all of them, definitions of "ingenious" vary WILDLY.

There's disguises and pantomime. There's Voice of Dread and potentially even one or two war crimes.

Seriously. You've just gotta hear it to believe it.

The Confident Three return for part two of their adventure!

The road to jail is long, and as their prison cart bumps along, the party rests and we FLASH BACK once again to the lead up to their fateful capture.

The night before the bar fight, The Confident Three receive a note - "Meet me at my shop across town. Don't be seen." It's the kind of correspondence they've been waiting for, one that could place them right at the heart of the unrest in Mooringsong.

The only trouble is the city is swarming with guards overnight, and they enforce a strict, no exceptions curfew.

Will they make it across town without being seen? And what would they do to any guards who did manage to spot them?

Find out on ... The Unnaturolls!

It's been a busy few weeks, so we're taking a quick break from our regular schedule to drop a special episode: a short chat with Ballistikitty, aka Mor'elia Willowshade from The Unnaturolls!

We talk a little about Ballistikitty and her hobbies, then dive into what it was like getting into Daggerheart for the first time for the show, and then we get into the REAL good stuff - how she created Mor'elia, what her inspirations were, and what it's like to play a character who's mysterious, and let's face it, a little bit creepy.

An all-new, all-different cast joins The Naturolls!

The world always needs more heroes, and The Shatterlands has more problems than just the Tater Tots can handle on their own, so in steps... The Confident Three!

Unfortunately, their day isn't going so well. Maybe it's because they've just gotten arrested. Or maybe it's because their witch just had a vision that they would all die horrible, painful deaths if they remained on their path.

Which, come to think of it, is about the only path they can be on right now due to that being arrested thing.

A lot going on for a first episode, that's for sure!

It's a whole new cast though, so you've got some people to meet!

The Scorchborn Saga part 9!

The Tater Tots showed up just in time to stop a Scorchborn ritual... but it wasn't the one to be performed on their friend Maz, and after defeating the creatures summoned of fire, and the summoners themselves, the party realizes they still don't know where Maz is or how to save her.

Pushing deeper into the temple, the party contemplates if they will have to kill each other eventually, and Sal meets an old friend in a dire situation.

Will they find Maz? Will they be too late to save her? Find out only on... The Naturolls!

The Scorchborn Saga part 8!

As the Tater Tots enter the Scorchborn Temple, they find a mysterious giant hand with flames coming from the fingertips, and more suspiciously, they find... nothing else.

A gust of wind guides them to a hidden trap door in a back room, and so they delve further into the temple, finding a mirror that shows them so many things they don't want to see. Svetlana rushes ahead, determined to find Maz or, if not her, then vengeance, but waits for the party to join her before moving into a ritual room to see what the Scorchborn have summoned.
