A new tale unfolds! For the first time, we're picking out our favorite walking sticks, grabbing our pocket handkerchiefs, and stepping out the front door to find what awaits us in the lands of Middle-earth by way of the excellent 2nd edition of The One Ring role-playing game. Joining Des and David are three new players: Jon, Marley, and Naja. In this session, we talk about the game and what we're looking to get out of it, and create the members of this new Company, including their Patron. (Any guesses?) If you want to get to know our new players a little better, consider backing us on Patreon at Deacon level or above for access to behind-the-scenes interviews in which we delve into more detail on their backgrounds with Middle-earth lore and gaming.

After last week's unexpectedly pleasant outing, this week we'll be driving Conan like we stole him, making as many rash and foolish decisions as we can. Will Conan live to see the end? Will anyone?

We're shifting gears this week, away from Dragon Warriors in favor of another venerable TTRPG system: GURPS! Specifically, we're diving into one of the solo scenarios published in the late 80s for the GURPS Conan line, this one based on one of the best (in our humble opinion) of the original Conan stories, "The Queen of the Black Coast"!

David's back and playing another Dragon Warriors solo adventure, voted on by members of the EOR Discord! This week, he takes the Barbarian class for a spin and rolls a lot of D20s... Give this one a listen to find out if there are any frogs in Frogton! Technical note: about halfway through the stream, the microphone spontaneously switched from the headset to the phone's internal mic, so there's a minor but noticeable shift in quality at that point.
