December 28, 2024 Minisode: The Castle of Memories Episode
I seem to forgotten something important. I also seem to have forgotten something not important. I also seem to have forgotten a lot of things. In summary, I have amnesia.

In this Minisode, we're playing Castle of Memories, a solo-ttrpg about recovering your memories and risking going further to get more tools and items. It's a bit crunchier than previous minisodes, and long enough to possibly be the start of a larger series. If you liked it, check it out on itch.io.

Well, it's that time again. Join me in the empty tavern, and enjoy a tale. It's time for another Minisode. The Tavernkeep's Minisodes: They're Not Mini! This time, we are playing A Fool's Errand

I am a jester in King Lyric's court. It is my job to advise the king and re-frame petitioner's causes to warn the king of the conspiracy against him. It is a thankless job, and a fruitless task.
