Think about cheese.

Make your thoughts cheesier. Now add 100% chicken breast fillet, Chipoplae sauce and Ameta cheese melt. And it's giving the new cheesy chicken stack at McDonald's. Did we mention it's cheesy? Cheese.

I wanted to tell you about another great podcast you thought you all would love.

Gestors of Ravenloft. It's a podcast where a collection of comedians started a D&D campaign, only to find out that they are the characters and they've been sucked into the nightmare realm of Ravenloft. It's a DM by an award-winning game designer and voiceover actor with a cast made of professional comedians.

Gestors of Ravenloft is a show that'll make you laugh no matter what horrors are happening to its characters. Even better, the cast had no idea they'll be playing themselves. The series begins with a warm-up scene that was actually the start of the show, so the players begin their adventures wearing Chippendale vest, underwear, and matching fedoras. It's produced by the same team behind the hit podcast Dumb Dums and Dragons. You know the show has got to be amazing. It's got original content set within Ravenloft. It's a perfect show for DMs to learn how Ravenloft works, while also being totally spoiler-free for any players if they journey to Ravenloft in their own home games. New episodes are recorded live on Twitch every Wednesday night and release this podcast every Friday and Saturday. you get two episodes every week, so that's twice the fun. I did the math. I listen to an episode, and I think the Ravenloft world is really cool. I feel like it's, well, in my opinion, it's kind of underutilized. So I'm really happy to listen to them exploring that world and kind of showing it to people. Highly recommend you check it out. You can listen to Justers of Ravenloft anywhere you listen to podcasts.

Felicitations, my foul-smelling friends, and welcome to Tavern Tales. This is when we snag a few barstools in the Stinky Dragon Tavern and share a shorter, smellier story by role-playing and rolling dice with friends. I'm your dungeon master, Micah Rysinger, and today we're going to be playing through an adventure I've written, and we'll be using an old school style RPG called knave.

Would you call me?

But before we get too far into the tail, I'm going to hit our four players with an arrow.

2:07.4

I wasn't prepared for an arrow.

2:10.3

I'm always prepared for an arrow.

2:11.8

For this episode.

I whip up my shield and I catch it.

2:14.1

Nice.

2:14.6

Very, very good.

2:15.6

You gain two cool points. Anyway, episode zero. This question is, in your opinion, you, the player, what quality should every adventurer have? Oh, do we need a roll for this? Introduce yourselves. Do you need a roll for this? Oh, we could roll. I got a 20. I'm not kidding.

Come on, Barbara.
