    Lines, Veils, and Wishes

    When you wish upon a star... wait, no, we don't want THEM showing up...   In this episode, we talk about lines, veils, and wishes. We discuss them each in greater detail than our previous episodes on the topic of safety tools or session zero, and we discuss how the relate to each other, and how to resolve potential conflicts with them. (Hint: There's a priority ranking for them.)   If you want to show your support for what we do here, tell other people about the show, and check us out on our social medias below!

    Tabletop, VTT, and Theatre of the Mind

    No spooky castle, no spooky lightouse, no spookiness, we're back with the Bartender in the Tavern to discuss ways to lay out scenes and combats.   There are pros and cons to each of the three main ways, and we discuss them. We also have a brief discussion about systems and how that affects it as well.   Check out our socials and tell people about the show if you want to show your support!   Patreon:Here Discord: Here Tumblr: Here Mastodon: Here Bluesky: Here Contact Us: Thetavernkeepsguide@gmail.com Art by Hermit's Media: Here

    TTG Minisode: The Lighthouse at the End of the World

    The choppy waves crashed upon the rocky shores. It hissed and boomed over and over, a lullaby to restless souls dashed upon the rocks. Unfortunately, I stood on the shore and yelled, disturbing this peace.   Join us as we serve our time at the Lighthouse, growing restless and mournful. It's a contemplative Wretched & Alone game. Also, there's ghosts!   If you liked this episode and want more, let us know!

    Resolution Systems

    You find a strange and unfamiliar tavern. You must determine whether things go wrong from here. Roll a d20, 2d6, draw 3 playing cards, draw a tarot card, and spend 3 Overdoing The Bit points to see what you can find!   We discuss Resolution Systems in this one. Let us know what your favorite systems are.    Yes, we're aware that we completely forgot about dice pools, both totals and match-type. Maybe we'll cover those later!   Patreon:Here Discord: Here Tumblr: Here Mastodon: Here Bluesky: Here Contact Us: Thetavernkeepsguide@gmail.com Art by Hermit's Media: Here
