Tales from the Taverns is now live!
over 7 years ago – Sun, Sep 11, 2016 at 11:30:46 PM

Tales from the Taverns is now live on Kickstarter.


Step into a world of epic storytelling. Take on the role of the traveling bard, regaling the tales of diminutive heroes, long forgotten. Embellish the stories, challenge your rivals, share the lore and the liquor! The stories of heroes are well established in the annals of bardic lore. A select band of bards have traveled the earth acquiring the legends of the most unbelievable legends of Goblins past. The stories of their conquests are unlike traditional legends, crafted from improbable accomplishments, incalculable risk, and a nearly absurd amount of luck. The epic tales of these forgotten heroes belie their diminutive stature. You have the responsibility of keeping their memory alive by telling their stories to weary travelers at taverns across the land. Creatures of darkest myth, artifacts of untold power, diabolical traps, and recovery from catastrophic misfortune fill your mind and flow from your tongue as you compete for the attention of the audience. Your story-weaving talents will be put to the test as other bards tell the tales of their own chosen heroes and heroines. Keep it lively ladies and gens’ fortune is a fickle mistress! 

Come join the story today!

Thwarted news and more!

Hello everyone!


If you have not completed your Backerkit Survey please do so soon. 


We have some great news being announced. Editing of the rule book is complete. Also we are getting responses from our Agent of Doom backers and we are getting the art started on those villains right now. We have all of our production quotes set so we are just finalizing the edits on the cards and getting production rolling.

In other news, we received a much better deal on Tales from the Taverns: Legends of Goblins Past. The deal was good enough for us to move forward our kickstarter date to September 12th. We are going to offer some deep discounts to the game over what was offered last time. We will be posting more on this soon.

We have a ton of great news coming. If you want to check out Tales from the Taverns we will be at the following conventions:
Star Con: New Port Richie Sept 10th http://www.starconexpo.com/ Teasure Coast Comic Con: Port St Lucie Sept 16-18 www.treasurecoastcomiccon.com Fen Con: Dallas TX Sept 23-25

In addition to this Mark will be traveling to Dallas on the 19th stopping along the way at game stores to show off Tales from the Taverns. Those locations and events will be published soon.

Thank you for all of your support and keep checking back for updates!

Clarification on the new promo pack.
over 7 years ago – Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 11:52:49 PM

The $3 promo pack being offered was incorrectly named Hero Debuff pack. The hero debuff pack was achieved when we hit 10k funding. The Debuff cards get added to the Hero Deck. 

The new promo pack being offered is now correctly named Drain the Heroes promo pack. These are 5 new evil deed cards that get added to the yellow power deck. These cards were the 15k stretch goal that was not achieved. 

Sorry for any confusion on this and let us know if you have any more questions.
