Tavern Watch Plays Pigeon’s 11, Episode 2: Stealing the coveted pretzel trophy

This week we’re bringing you another game Pigeon’s 11, in which our feathered cast of criminals dives into the world of esports and culinary delights at MetzlCon. The plan: to steal the coveted pretzel trophy in the middle of a packed house of gamers and amateur chefs. It may be the biggest gaming convention of the year, but our pigeons only have eyes for the pretzels. (Well, most of them anyway.)
Join GM Liz Harper and a cast made up of Blizzard Watch’s bird alter egos:
- Phil Ulrich as Frankie Two-Talons, a boat-tailed grackle.
- Joan Albright as Professor Beakley, an African gray parrot.
- Eric O’Day as Thurston Owl III, a barn owl.
- Matt Rossi as Drom, an emu.
- Joe Perez as Bennie the Blast, a white-throated sparrow.
- Anne Stickney as Cecilia Cabana Banana Von ChiChi (Cece for short), a pigeon disguised as a peacock.
And yes, this adventure is just as wacky as it sounds. So join our crew of birds as struggle through the game convention crowd to see that pretzel trophy first hand and pick out the only one on the convention floor who has a gluten allergy.
This is the second game in a three-part series of Pigeon’s 11 by 9th Level Games. It uses the Polymorph system for a game that’s straightforward, narrative focused, and rewards you for rolling a one. This is the second Polymorph game we’ve played — check out our game of Sentai & Sensibility if you want to see more of the system in action — and we’ve really enjoyed it!
