CW // body horror, surgery 

Last time on Tidefall…
 
Flip, Hera, and Salt’s uncharacteristic success is cut short by Joe and Uriah as they tell the group about the brass guild bomb plot against Tidefall, the largest civilian vessel in the sea of clouds.
 
On top of that, Nell is severely injured. Flip and Hera try some Wild Sky first aid to help heal Nell. Flip fails and almost freaks out, then Hera succeeds. Maximus tells Salt about how Les, the bombmaker, was meeting with two girls, likely Brass Guild. Flip takes Nell back to the hotel so they can both rest/heal...
 
The group heads to the docks to try and find Leah. They do. Running low on options, they decide to make Joe the international super spy who is going to infiltrate Leah's ship to gather information on the bomb plot. With a stroke of luck, the group is able to locate some lights to communicate with Joe between the ships. 
 
Maximus tells the group he is going to take Nell back to the Blue Tide Wreck. Flip talks to Maximus before he leaves and hears the bombshell Flip’s been waiting for... the Children of Yantis "made" Flip and Maximus knows. As he processes this revelation, Flip makes a new gun for Salt. 
 
The crew prepares a ship to follow Leah. They plan on going to Tidefall to stop the bombs. But before they leave, Flip disappears, having left with the Children of Yantis to find answers. 
 
What will happen next? Find out… now.

Tidefall | E10: "Daddy Issues Much?"

Welcome to Des Moines And Dragons’ newest show, Warlords: Krasis Tournament.

My name is Tim Overton, I’ll be your dungeon master for this story.

Four players have each stepped into the world of Krasis after an event known as The Shattering has destroyed this fantasy world and left it a Mad Maxian desert wasteland. In a world without formal governance, The Tournament has arisen and replaced the former structures of power to decide who among these combatants, known as Warlords, should be strong enough to deserve what little spoils are left in the ruins of Krasis. Our four players will each begin playing the game solo, by themselves with just little old me, until they should happen to make a choice that leads them to cross paths with another player. That might happen, or that player could go the entire campaign by themselves, or they could simply die and/or lose the tournament. We don’t know what will happen! Isn’t that exciting!? 

Follow me listener as we journey with our Warlords through the world of Krasis. The Tournament is about to begin.

Onyxvale: Saints & Sinners | E14: "Campaign Debrief"

Our first game takes place in a fantasy inspired kingdom, inside the Capitol City Al’Lale

Ruled over by an increasingly paranoid Queen, her kingdom is beset by Monsters, Rival Dukes, and Assassins. While her army and political machine focus on these threats, an organization called The Guild takes care of problems for the low born and peasant class.

Our story follows Cadre 11A, made up of three adventurers working for The Guild.

Episode 1 | Part (3/3)

Season 1

Episode 1 | Part (1/3)

Having found those responsible for the Potion shop robbery and discovering a cult in Al’ale’s sewers, Cadre 11A were expecting more work from their superiors. Strangely few Guild Regents have been asking for their help, leading to weeks of boredom in the city. 
As luck would have it, a wandering Bard is in need of their specific set of skills and experience. Packing their things and heading north, the party sets out to find a mysterious hooded traveler at the behest of the soft-handed Robon Barcleff.

Episode 2 | Part (2/3)

After a harrowing encounter deep inside the mountain, Cadre 11-A heads back to Juri to regroup and plan. 
Orzok opens up about his people to the south, Harbeck has wild and strange prophetic visions, and Ornella kills some enemies.
Meeting up with the Viscountess and Viscount of Juri, the route forward, for the first time in a while- becomes very clear.

Episode 8 | Part (3/3)

Episode 8 | Part (1/3)

A journey down river and across the midlands is the path forward. Cadre 11 A decide that heading out ahead of the Viscount's forces is necessary. 

Traveling overland and nearing the queens garden proves to complicate things. While we also get a peak at how Ornella and Harbeck first met.

Additionally, a wandering and strange narrator makes his presence known to Harbeck with everything wrapping up in a fight for survival against a four hundred year old Apex Predator.

Episode 9 | Part(1/3)

Last Life takes Des Moines Iowa creatives and has them attempt to kill a boss at the bottom of a dungeon. They are alone and have only their weapons and wit to help them survive.

Our second hero to dive into the dungeon of death is Mara Dreadsteel. A Half-Elf bard with a knack for sneaking and stealthing.

Monica De Melo Dreasher is our player this week and she is a woman of many hats, talents, and skills. She's not just an experienced RPG'er who has infact a *CENSORED* hour run of Skyrim. She is a professional education coordinator for non-profits including the Des Moines Social Club! The women of Des Moines are amazing and Monica is no exception to that rule. Her bio on Facebook sums her up pretty succinctly:

I work in non-profits and I make art.

Stay tuned and see if Monica can traverse the dungeon and get her character Mara Dreadsteel to defeat the evil Lich.

Last Life 1

Last Life Monica: Part (2 of 3)

Episode 11 | Part (1/3)

Our first original song. This piece encompasses some of the best moments from our first show. It's a great piece of music that encapsulates the type of show we have made with our initial campaign.

The Adventure begins takes it's cues from our first campaign titled "Awakening"

The Adventure Begins

With Harbeck situated attention returns focus to Ornella, Davory, and Orzok. Davory awakens from his days long sleep with visions and nightmares, warning Cadre 11-A of a horrific event.
It's up to Ornella and Orzok to rally the Scalemother and get to the meeting with the Viscount. Without an alliance between these two groups, victory can't be assured

Episode 12 | Part 1 (1/3)

Last time on Tidefall...
Our adventurers try to escape the Brass Guild sector. Things... don't go smoothly. First Flip almost gets caught, but Nell saves his hide. Then Hera tries to convert Leah to her way of thinking. Again, does not go well. So Salt beans her, gives her a slight case of brain damage. On the way out of the sector, guards confiscate Leah to relocate her to the nearest hospital. 
After getting back to the bar, things get tense (what a surprise). Nell finds out Maximus is missing and get's a little pissed. They wait it out, eventually Maximus shows up and tells everyone about Salt knocking him out. 
Eventually our heroes open up to each other. They are a big happy family again. While Hera goes shopping the dudes do "Arm stuff". Salt can't have a crappy arm forever. 
The group decides they need leads. So they search around town for Gabriel Cobb. After some sneaky skullduggery, they figure out where the boss man lives. So with a week and a half until "The Event", Flip goes in, alone, to do his thing. 
What will happen next? Find out, now.

Tidefall E8 (3/3)

Des Moines and Dragons presents a brand new miniseries: a Fallout-inspired adventure in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of old world Des Moines.

===============

War. War never changes.

It bathes the land in nuclear fire. It molds it, changes it. It swept over the great rolling planes of the Midwest. What was once the heartland of the United States, now sits frozen in time enveloped by a nuclear winter that will not... end.

The only thing connecting that barren tundra to the rest of the world is a long 235 highway, the only major roadway through a place once known as Des Moines. 

A place where a ghoul and her robot are headed through...

Now, stay tuned for more Des Moines and Fallout!
