Dragon Plungers Arc 1 Ep. 6 Pt. 3 - Is this Really Our Guide?
The Dragon Plungers are in a tough fight between some easy monsters, but will they manage to get out or do something dumb to get a TPK (total party kill) because of wanting to be heroic?
These answers will be answered...hopefully in pt. 3 of episode 6.
Also, this episode features a bit more after what happens in the session when the crew talks outside of the game a bit.

Dragon Plungers Arc 1 Episode 6 Pt. 2 - Is This Really Our Guide?
The Dragon Plunger crew managed to get back into the cave to get paid for their quest, but they might have bitten off bigger than they can chew. Let's look at the way the dices begin to roll in their adventure this session.
Can the guide actually guide them to victory? Can the fellow cat be of use, or will he be another Barbarian that causes problems? Can Sakis finally actually be useful and do legit damage and be a tank? Will Eoin be the one to make it out alive from all the danger that the others cause?
These answers will be answered...hopefully in pt. 2 of episode 6.

Coming Back from Vacation
We want to personally apologize for the delay in episodes that we have had recently been slacking on. I (Brian) just came back from being away due to work and needing a mental health vacation for my family to get back to working on making the episodes once again. This clip is my personal apology for that.
I will be working on getting the episodes out soon for every one of you that have taken the time to listen to the podcast over and over again, waiting for the next installment of us idiots doing a session and seeing if we live or die.
I will be starting September 16th, a weekly or monthly stream session of me building the world for both Tipping Scale and the new world of Sinridge that we are working on after these sessions are done. They will be located on my stream via twitch here: ForsakenElite08 - Twitch
Hope to see you all there!!

Dragon Plungers Arc 1 Episode 6 Pt. 1 - Is This Really Our Guide?
The Dragon Plunger crew has decided to go and get a guide to help them on their journey...finally. But the kicker is one of them also just got arrested and they need a 3rd to help them.

Dragon Plungers Arc 1 Ep. 5 - It Always Has to be Scorpions
The Dragon Plungers are still doing their quest that was meant for only a good 2-day adventure to get some salamander sacks, but because they are a group of misfits that are not as one, they ran into a bit of a hiccup. They managed to get away from the issues of nearly dying from a swarm of crocs and now they are looking to get one or two salamanders alone and separated away from the pack.
But as you might have already guessed it, they got to deal with someone causing a problem and getting another group involved in their adventure - that is not needed. Will the group make it out safely? Or will this be the first party wipe of the party? Let's see how the group gets out of this rocky pickle.

The Tipping Scale Arc Ep. 4 - The Haunted House of Fools
The Hounds have bought a house and are about to go and do some checking around to see what is up with the specters that are left. They must make sure they get rid of them or else they will risk being bound to the house forever.

This episode is from our October Halloween special that we wanted to run but it was pushed back because of everyone having to get things handled. Also due to issues with some editing problems. I had this in the process of being finished for months and couldn't for the life of me get it finished until now. Sorry for the delay, enjoy the fools as they handle the specters inside of their new home.

Dragon Plungers Arc 1 Ep. 4 - Do A Barrell Roll
Hey everyone, this episode was recorded a while before the Christmas and Halloween break but took a while to get done due to some personal reasons. This episode has some issues on my audio part due to some headphone clarity and possible recording app issues. Sorry for the wait, enjoy.
The crew has rested and are off to go and see if they can finish getting the salamander scales so they can get paid, but they are still trying to figure out how to get across the water that is in their path and that big dragon in front of them. One of them has a bright idea to swim in the water, but I think he might be an unwanted guest or an unexpected meal.
You will learn about CTD in this episode.

The Tipping Scale Arc Ep. 3 - We Bought a Crack House?
The Hounds have come back and have met up with Lambert to discuss the next mission ideas from the scouts after getting their first artifact and Zil training to become the next guardian of the Traveler. While they are getting things in order, they must first decide what to do on their first time chilling out at Riverhurst for the next few days to prep. Well heads up, they ended up getting a major adult move and bought a house...I mean, it's a start...right?

Dragon Plungers Arc 1 Ep. 3 - So We Fck'd Up
The crew managed to get themselves into more trouble than they thought, but to be expected from the DM's standpoint. A specter has Sakis in a tight hold and not letting go, Aerios is trying to figure out what he can do, and Grawth is doing the next thing of a Barbarian and trying to read a book. Well things are getting kinda bad for the crew and yet they managed to still find no salamander's.

The Tipping Scale Arc Ep. 1 - Call the Hounds
Their was an issue with the audio from our DM and could not be redone as it was live and only found out after the fact. So episode 1 will have some audio issues but will be fixed for future episodes.
This is the first episode of the Tipping Scale story. They are in the world of Sirione and begin in the city known as Riverhurst. This episode will be their first trial to retrieve their first artifact after a session zero for everyone (recording was lost). You will meet the crew that will be set forth on a journey to find themselves and open a can of chaos on this world - good or bad.
The players for this you will meet along the way with a story told by Brian Whiting from the Dragon Plungers Arc series as the new DM. This is a homebrew actual play D&D 5e story with twist and turns galore set to happen.

Dragon Plungers Arc 1 Ep. 1 - The Start of it All
This is the first episode of Arc 1 of the Dragon Plungers saga. The crew meets up for the first time together and works on establishing themselves as a mix match of adventurers'. The meeting is almost like a joke opener from a Dad: "so a paladin, barbarian, and a cleric meet in a bar".
