Intelligence Check is an actual play series that's big on the laughs. It's a light-hearted show, using D&D 5e rules, set in the homebrew world of the Lichstone Empire. We've got dark and mysterious backgrounds, defensive elephants, weird gambling, oddly specific kobold slaughter, and tentacles. Way too many tentacles.

    An announcement on the state of Intelligence Check

    Hi everyone. Sorry for the radio silence over the last month. Today, we're sharing an announcement from Lauren on the end of Bucks County By Night, and our (hopefully temporary) hiatus on new episodes. Adulting is tough and we're sorry to say it's impacting our ability to record at this time.   Thank you everyone for listening to the show and we hope to have more adventures for you in the not so distant future!

    Episode 192- Bucks County By Night part 11- Our Evening with Solomon

    Solomon plays a haunting voicemail from Elaine, recorded just before her murder. The message hints at a cryptic package she sent to Solomon, one he's been concealing and hasn't opened yet. Solomon's guest, the nun, believes the murder may revolve around an ancient artifact containing great power! Could that be what's in the package? Also, what frowned upon word does Elias learn he needs to scrub from his vocabulary? And will he make it to his meeting with Lillian?    We have a sexy new merch designed by Lauren that features Lillian and Elias!

    Episode 189- Bucks County By Night part 8- Dawning Routines

    A new night begins with Elias waking up from his sleepover at Isaac's place. He may have had to crash in a really morbid setting, but at least he got the top bunk! And even better, there's leftover clothes to try on from all the bodies that have passed through the morgue! Elias however is not enthusiastic about that.   Lewis checks in on his herd before doing any other disgusting things a Nosferatu does to start their day. The party then makes a plan to follow up with Solomon. They don't want to show up empty handed! And Lewis reaches out to his buddy Hendricks in what may be one of the worst phone calls ever.   What other daily vampire routines will we get some insight into? And how many times will Mike forget Ben's character name in one episode?    -----   Hey everyone! You'll notice in this episode that Kyle was not able to join us due to other obligations. At the time we were unsure of the length of his absence so we danced around it in the episode. As of the release of this he has still been unable to rejoin us so we wanted to make sure you are aware that the character of Dart will be out of the story going forward. We hope Kyle is able to come back in the future but for now the cast will be Mike, Leach and Ben with Lauren as the storyteller.

    Episode 188- Bucks County By Night part 7- Please Bear With Us

    The mission to stealthily break into Solomon's shop and search for clues to his connection to the murder victim Elaine is not off to a good start! Dart has gone into a full rage in bear mode, climbing up electric poles and scaring bystanders. It's up to Isaac to turn on his vampiric charm and bring Dart back down to his normal, only slightly grumpy animalistic self! Thankfully there's also time for Lewis to drop some bear puns as well.   Seeing that sneaking up to the shop is no longer an option, Elias takes some initiative and gives up on breaking in quietly. However it quickly becomes apparent that Solomon is more than prepared to deal with unwelcome guests, which leads to tense negotiations!   Get your VANpire merch featuring new art by Lauren now!  https://www.teepublic.com/user/intelligencecheck   Are you enjoying the show?
