Well, hello, Venturers! Welcome to this toasty little episode of Venture Maidens.

Before we dive in, I've got some big news to share. The Venture Maidens are headed to PAX Unplugged 2021,

and will be performing a live show at the convention Saturday night, December 11th at 6pm in the

Crab God Theatre. We are so, so thrilled to be reappearing in the world with such a momentous

occasion. And if you are headed to PAX Unplugged 2021, or interested in heading to Philadelphia

that weekend, we would be honored to see you there and meet you lovely people. On the topic of

shiny things, I want to say thank you so much to Emily Mayo for composing our wonderful theme song,

and to our friends at Cyrunscape for supplying any background audio you hear in this episode.

And of course, a big thank you to this week's sponsor, Jeff Stevens Games, a producer of best

selling 5th edition adventures and supplements, like Blinksy's Toy Shop, a fiendishly fun adventure

that takes the party to the island workshop of everyone's favorite Barovian toy maker.

Of course, when Blinksy's tutu-wearing pet monkey becomes possessed by the spirit of an evil wizard,

visitors are in for a real scream. If animated toys aren't quite to your taste, don't worry,

Jeff Stevens Games has so much other content like Encounters in the Savage Underdark,

which compiles 150 pages of mini adventures, or Adventures from the Pop Ballied Cobald,

which features 15 short adventures, and even better, as of right now, October 27, 2021.

Jeff has a Kickstarter running for the Pop Ballied Cobald's Guide to Villains and Layers,

which summons an amazing team to develop villains and layers for your 5th edition game.

Writers include Ed Greenwood, Ginny D, Justice Armon, Cat Evans, Anthony Joyce, Maxine Henry,

John IV, Richard Green, and so many others. Go to Kickstarter, search for Pop Ballied Cobald's

Guide to Villains and Layers, and support the campaign. And Adventures and Supplements

Isn't the only thing Jeff Stevens Games creates? There's even a talk show called Jeff
