27 Nov 2017 | CoS - The Gunman Comes Around: Episode 21 | 01:11:18 | |
The party made it to the gates of Vallaki, hoping to get Ireena to safety, but what awaits them inside? Is Ireena truly safe anywhere she goes? And what is going on with the Cleansing Hand? Are Kent and Ferguson somehow tied to the same organization? We shall see where their adventure takes them, and hopefully that is far from TPK land.

01 May 2017 | CoS - House of Spoops: Episode 06 | 01:06:49 | |
Aw, dem kids are cute. Dead, but cute. Our group of goofs take the kids on a field trip and traverse into the depths of the Death House, discovering that the basement has a similar feel to the top floors of the house: it hurts. Can our heroes (?) make it out alive? Or is this the unwarranted dark D&D sequel to the movie "Monster House?" Remember that movie? That was a thing. Also, I don't even think that comparison makes sense. Meh. Remember to tune back in on May 15th for episode 07. Enjoy!
