Tavern Watch Plays Legend in the Mist, Episode 1: Never fight the undead after lunch

This week we’re diving into a rustic fantasy of small town heroes (or heroes to be) in Legend in the Mist, where our humble villagers come together to deal with a single shambling undead that found its way to town. Where did it come from? Are there more of them? And is the right solution for the entire town to panic?

That last one really depends on who you ask, but join GM Phil Ulrich along with a group of wannabe heroes venturing out into the world, with:

• Chris as Dunny, the local blacksmith, whose father’s old sword may be more than it seems.
• Nick as Frye, a hardworking cook at the local tavern, who dreams of becoming a great chef (but mostly finds himself working for ruthless overseers in the kitchen).
• Liz as Lyssa, who works at the ferry running people and cargo across the river, but thinks there has to be more to life than this.

Will they rise to the challenge, or fall to poisonous sludge and unlucky dice? You’ll have to listen to find out!

This is the first of a three-game series of Legend in the Mist, which is designed for fantasy storytelling that scales from our small town heroes to folk heroes of legend. It’s a different flavor of fantasy TTRPG, with a vibe that feels quite like The Hobbit, where ordinary folk may find themselves in extraordinary adventures. It has a narrative-centric focus and flexible character creation so you can make the hero you want and play them the way you want. We enjoyed it a lot, and you can pick up a book for yourself from Son of Oak.
