Tavern Watch Plays Legend in the Mist, Episode 2: In which we learn that fairy tales aren’t always tales

In our second game of Legend in the Mist, our group of hometown adventurers has set off and found that adventure isn’t quite as exciting as the fairy tales make it seem. Even for a short trip to investigate the loan undead that ventured into their village, road is full of risks. For example, did you know a person could have the moldy status, because that’s apparently a thing (and not a good one). But we’re definitely not going to spiral out of control and worry about every fairy-tale-turned-reality that might jump out of the shadows and ambush us.

Definitely not.

To see how this party of neophytes is faring, join GM Phil Ulrich along with our crew of would-be adventurers:

• Chris as Dunny, the local blacksmith, whose father’s old sword may be more than it seems. He’s been poisoned by the undead, and has to find a cure.
• 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.

This is the second 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. And if you haven’t, you can listen to the first episode now or move on to the third episode!
