Tails from The Dark Dragons Inn is a long-form, serialised, high-fantasy, improv fiction podcast driven at its core by tabletop role-play. Released weekly every Sunday at 10:30AM BST.
Hosted and Game Mastered by Ray Stevens, accompanied by his players, Tom (Erbak), Liz (Tobe), Vinny (Mhurren) and Nina (Myx), with occasional guest appearances, he invites you into a world both familiar and strange, these adventures take place in a home-brew alternate version of the Forgotten Realms.
The core cast of Tails from The Dark Dragons Inn features a diverse group of players who've come together from across the country to tell the shared tale of “The Scales of Justice”, a band of heroes (though some would call them mercenaries).
Our story is told through improv and tabletop role-play, however, for the purposes of the show, much of the mechanical aspects of this are removed, cutting the fuss and leaving the story and character interactions behind.
What starts as a simple 'muscle for hire' job, brings the party together to aid a city under siege and the civilians within. A cult, known only as the Cult of the Dragon, seek to unleash Chaos in the world and as our heroes learn of their plans, the race is on to put a stop to their ambition. In classic high-fantasy fashion, the overarching problem of the plot is seemingly almost insurmountable in scale and by extension, each character is dealing with their own personal goals and issues which we develop throughout the show.
You can find out more about the characters, the world and what's going on through our website https://tailsfromthedarkdragonsinn.co.uk. If you have any questions, feedback or suggestions for the show; please feel free to contact us on twitter @DarkDragonsInn

The children of Fairton Feat. Fandible (Part 1)
The small town of Fairton is home to a school, a mine, an abandoned Mall project and honestly? Not much else.
Except, of course; for all the danger.
Join me as I lead the cast of Fandible through a game of Unmasked, by Monte Cook Games in a one shot of my own design. A finely tuned blend of Horror, super/anti hero antics and the eighties.

A city of strangers
As the dust settles in The Wide, our heroes have barely a moment to absorb what they have done before they are set upon by a series of strangers looking to aid them.

Curious Encounters
Our heroes travel across the city of Baldur's Gate, doing their best to tell friend from foe, but with everything that's happened, can they truly see the wood for the trees?
Updates!
We've been so busy!
At present, twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday, we release a patron only post containing letters and journal entries from various supporting cast members. Want to know what happened to the Doomsinger between the moment he stayed behind in Greenest to the moment they found him? We got you covered. Want details on the real reasons the cultists left in such a rush? Or perhaps why the Scales of Justice set off on their journey in the first place? We. Got. You.
On top of that, we're now releasing every episode a week early via our patreon at the $5 and above tiers, this includes the two part guest episodes which we continue to record with new guests most weeks!
Speaking of other podcasts though; this week we bumped into members of Encounter Roleplay and TheMortalPath whilst at a local store we were attending to meet with Ruty Rutenberg and Satine Phoenix of Maze Arcana during their european tour. Hopefully we'll have some exciting news for you in the future and we look forward to collabing with TMP in future too!
