The Formal Gamer : A Dungeons And Dragons Podcast

The Party are almost ready to launch their attack, but they have no idea what each other are doing. So if a bomb goes off in a castle and your party aren't there to hear it do you roll initiative? We will find out.   Here is a link to the new store at Threadless. Go and bathe in its magnificence. Or order a t-shirt. Or don't. You know it really is up to you.

Sorry. Sorry the episode is late. I moved a house. And I got lost in Ikea and came back a changed man, with a new small bin for the toilet and an unfeasibly complex lamp.  Anyway...Lance, Locke and Key are keeping it a bit seperated, and getting up to no good. Which is very confusing. Especially as they don't know what each other are doing. This can only go well.  

I know there is no intro from me. I'm in a field. And it just wasn't working. Sorry.   This is a LANCE SPECIAL! Lance is out there and doing his thing. And he thinks he's the smart one, the leader, the fixer. So I'm sure he won't screw this up embarrassingly. That would be stupid.

The plan is on. The guys are ready. How long before it all goes wrong? And who will be the one to screw it all up? Will Key lose his mind? Will Lance lose track of his wife? Will Locke get a bit too violent? Because surely this can't go well can it?    Here is a link to the new store at Threadless. Go and bathe in its magnificence. Or order a t-shirt. Or don't.

Robin lost his voice, which means that Locke lost his voice. That is a frustration for everyone, so the DM does some manipulation so we can carry on with Robin sounding a little different. And more importantly after the spider disaster last week how will    Here is a link to the new store at Threadless. Go and bathe in its magnificence. Or order a t-shirt. Or don't.

We are fighting a phase spider, or is it a fade spider, or a phaser spider? Key is not sure. Locke and Lance definitely know what it is. Things are getting intense, and now Key can run like a speeding bullet and jump like a flea. And there is no way that a super powered half-witted half-Orc with impulse control issues could cause and problems.   Here is a link to the new store at Threadless. Go and bathe in its magnificence.

Lance is taking the lead, and it is making it a bit awkward between him and Locke. Key on the other hand has no idea what is going on. The gang have got some leads to follow to see if they can make their life easier, but if they screw up they will surely make their lifes far harder.   Here is a link to the new store at Threadless.

  Lance is here and he is causing tension already. Locke and Lance are tussiling over the direaction the group is heading, and with a few leads to follow to help them complete their job for Marlowe they need a definite plan. And they also need to stop Key ruining it all by causing chaos.    Here is a link to the new store at Threadless. Go and bathe in its magnificence. Or order a t-shirt. Or don't.

Another wonderful work by the amazing Alice.   Locke and Key are in a bit of trouble. Marlow is less than impressed with their efforts so far, and has said he's bringing in a professional.

The plan didn't go as planned. Now Locke and Key have got to get back to Marlow and explain what happened, and that might be a fatal decision. The last person who let down Marlow got eaten by dogs, and that sounds a painful way to go. How will Locke and Key spin this story so they don't get destroyed?   Here is a link to the new store at Threadless. Go and bathe in its magnificence. Or order a t-shirt. Or don't.
