We're back in the Shire for this weeks roleplaying session of The One Ring (by Free League Publishing). Our three intrepid Halflings (Dave, Dave and Ollie) put Graeme, our GM through his paces and have a thoroughly entertaining hour of fun. It's all walking, pies, walking, ham, complaining, tea, walking, buns. You get the picture. Graeme is now on sedatives, hopefully he'll be fully fit for part 5.

Spoiler alert – you may ruin the adventure if you listen in and intend to play. It's doubtful you will recognise the adventure, but you never know.

Don't forget, you can find the game on the Free League Website and at any good role playing shops, and several rubbish ones as well. We've given The One Ring some clog recently and you can find all three previous parts at the links below.

Welcome back to Its Good to be Bard roleplaying sessions. It's Halloween again (Cue Spooky Music) so once again we are back with Session 2 of our Call of Cthulhu game as promised. A special double session podcast of Chaosiums free to play, The Lightless Beacon, which can be found at the link later in the description. Naturally, this means we have a SPOILER alert for the scenario.

WARNING – the sound quality in this Podcast is poorer than we would have liked but we couldn't just bin it as it's part of our big experiment, a special podcast as we split the game into TWO groups and play the game twice. How does each group handle the same reasonably straightforward game? Do they do exactly the same or will we end up in an entirely different situation?

Don't forget, you can find Call of Cthulhu at the Chaosium website here

The Bard Boys continue to ruin a 60 year old TV show by picking up the Doctor Who RPG. We've annoyed Malcolm Tucker, and are now facing a dreaded Judoon and their library card. A terrifying cliff hanger I'm sure you will agree.

It's episode 2 of our 3 part story and having really scraped the barrel in terms of assistants, the ancient Time Lord watches as Dave leads Lee, Matt and Ollie through the game of “The Timeless Library” *spoiler alert*.

Doctor Who RPG – How can the Bard Boys ruin a 60 year old TV show that's still going now? Easy, give them a microphone and a brew and let the nonsense take over. We had little over an hour to bash out session 1 of this game, and it's almost all preserved here for your entertainment.

The ancient Time Lord needs help from a motley collection, and this time he is really scraping the barrel. Grab some losers to save the universe, why not? Give up on his current incarnation, why not? Follow the plot, maybe, we'll see.

Another day, another game session from the “Its Good to be Bard” Podcast. This time we return to the dark city of Doskval for another dab at criminal behaviour in Blades in the Dark, by Evil Hat Productions. A sleek Rolls Royce of a game given the Citroen 2CV treatment from the Bard Boys.

Its an ongoing campaign as the boys seek out a book that fell into their lap, and was subsequently stolen from them.

If you fancy giving Blades a go, you can pick up a copy from Evil Hat, or Drivethrurpg. (no affiliation)https://evilhat.com/product/blades-in-the-dark/

Another day, another game session from the “Its Good to be Bard” Podcast. Like good little roleplaying Hobbits, we have strapped on our best fighting trousers, gathered our walking sticks and we are ready to set off across the Shire as we tackle the third adventure from THE ONE RING starter set by Free League Publishing.

Two brave Hobbitses and a Dwarf are ready for the off, and no amount of pies, cake, biscuits, custard, chips, ale, crème anglais or steak will stop them from venturing out. It's the usual chaos, as Graeme attempts to keep a giddy Ollie, and two Dave's on track. Just one more inappropriate gag, please boss. We include a trigger warning for NSFW this week as there's some juicy comments, but take them in the spirit intended and you'll be fine.

Tolkien would approve we are sure.

Don't forget, the podcast is replete with spoilers for the adventure, from the One Ring Starter set -https://freeleaguepublishing.com/shop/the-one-ring/starter-set/ and the links to our other One Ring games are available below.

0:00 The Intro

1:58 And we are off

5:15 The Dog and the Sex Toy

20:15 Fimli

30:43 Scary

35:57 NSFW – all gets a bit close to the knuckle

45:44 Let's get ready to.........oh, its over

46:58 Dave 2 rambles like a tramp – no idea what he says

57:57 Ending 1

1:00:08 Outro
