Tales of Nowhere

On leaving the Cafe, The Players wind up in a world none of them are familiar with. There are people with strange clothing, entire species that didn't exist in their lives before, and they just happen to arrive on the day a local town is celebrating Market Day. The customs are odd, but at least the food is good. And is that...over on the horizon, do you see it? Could it be the entrance to a Dungeon? Or maybe it's a Dragon, resting ...

After a long night of restless sleep and drunk texting, The Players decide to resupply before heading out to the Kingdom of Ishmarr, with no other choice but to use weapons and armor they'd normally find primitive. It's going to be a long,  difficult road. And hey, what exactly did the Guard Captain mean when he said "The Underdark is rising?" They'll find out this episode, and it'll only cost the low, low price of their own blood.

The long road to Ishmarr gets a lot shorter as The Players finally arrive in the city. Now all they have to do is survive until their audience with the King. But this is no easy task on the streets of Ishmarr, what with the baker's dozens of bakers, countless religions and churches, food that may or may not kill you, and existential crisis everywhere you look. The world is different, alright. But The Players are discovering that th...

What does that thing do? How are the Players going to save the world? You wanted answers? Here you go! But fair warning, you did ask for them. Everyone comes together and tries to do their part to enact a plan that may succeed or fail. Holy crap writing a description for this episode is hard. What do you want from me? There are spoilers within the first thirty seconds and it just gets worse from there! So this is how I'm handling i...

It's funny. You never think of yourself as like, ready and willing to face evil incarnate. Life just throws it at you when you're least expecting it. So how do the newly christened Infiniteers fare when they're thrown that kind of fast ball? Well, you'll just have to find out. But I will say not everyone's happy on their return to the Cafe. I can't speak for the whole world here, but he doesn't come off as the most trustworthy pers...

New world, new rules. And I mean that literally. Throw out your D20's, folks. You won't need them here. But that's not all, as the Infiniteers discover some surprises waiting for them. For example, why did only three of them make it to the landing site? Seems like the obstacles in front of them might be a little tough to fight through this time. Which actually when you think about it, might be a good thing. They didn't do so well w...

Never split the party. First rule of tabletop gaming, that's what they tell you. Well, this episode marks a momentous occasion where we broke that rule, and paid for it. It's tempting to split up when you're in the moment. Call it the Scooby Doo Effect. There's advantages in gaining access to more clues, accomplishing more at once, and everyone has less chance that they'll fade into the background, lonely and forgotten while other ...

After all this time, will the Infiniteers ever be together again? Yes. Yes they will. That was a spoiler, but I had to reveal it so I could reveal this: once they are, it's far from the best day ever. For example, what kind of lie is audacious enough to convince a mother to turn a blind eye to her son's recent insane behavior? How difficult can it be to unite a team toward a common goal? And why did I not name this episode "Charles...

The trap is set, the pieces are in place, the only question left is will this actually work? But the truth is that it doesn't matter, having the confidence to take a stand against evil should be its own reward, even if things don't pan out as you expected. And they certainly don't, here. Justice is its own reward, they say. But they also say it's the thought that counts. I could go on listing pointless idioms all day, really. But k...

Do you like murder, intrigue, and long drives out to the country? Then this episode is definitely for you! With only one real lead to go on, the Infiniteers head outside Arkham for the first time since their arrival in this world. Yes, surprisingly there is an entire world outside the oppression and gloom contained within the city limits. Unfortunately, what they find at their destination is like, prime Arkham material. I'm talking...

How do you fight a giant bug monster? No seriously, I'm asking. Cause from my perspective it just seems impossible. Oh right, there's actually two of them. My mistake. Where do the bugs even come from, though? Do you think there's really that many all around you, even right now? It freaks me out just to think of them. Hopefully these things go down quick, without too much collateral damage, where they can never creep anyone out eve...

Arkham has somehow managed to pull them back in, and on this day that means more than any other. See, in the Call of Cthulhu world, it's finally Halloween. Pranks, mischief, spooks, treats, and tricks all await the Infiniteers on this festive occasion. Will they be able to handle it all, or will the lurking insanity that's been just out of sight this whole time finally catch up with them? I just don't know. Well, okay I do. But tha...
