The Fates of Ryn, Season 2, Ep 71 - The Twilight of Such Day

Helpful Goat Gaming — Fri, 27 Aug 2021 09:30:00 +0000

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away--
Um, wait, is that an Applebee's hostess?

- William Shakespeare

Dom & Dragons - The Myriad, Ep 11 - Tea is Very Fine and Footprints Are Excellent

Helpful Goat Gaming — Fri, 09 Oct 2020 17:10:00 +0000

Dom & Dragons is back, y'all! Remember Dom & Dragons? That's where Helpful Goat plays D&D with Lord of the Rings and LOST actor, Dominic Monaghan! Woo! This week, the Beasts of Burden attend a town meeting to discuss the spine-chilling floating mountain of siege weaponry that's heading their way. There, they make a very important decision -- namely, to leave the town meeting and have a cooler, more exclusive meeting somewhere else instead. Gooooo, BOB!

The Fates of Ryn, Season 2, Ep 37 - How Kisses Work

Helpful Goat Gaming — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 07:10:00 +0000

We are pleased to announce that, starting this week, episodes of DOM & DRAGONS, our D&D campaign starring Dominic Monaghan (from Lord of the Rings and LOST!) will start dropping here in the Goats & Dragons podcast feed every Wednesday. Enjoy! In the meantime, in Izzrak Deviir's secret hideout...

The Fates of Ryn Cinematic Universe presents... The Family: Civil War! Yeah. This one's a doozy, folks. If you're not in the mood to hear beloved characters getting super angry and confrontational with one another, maybe wait until you... are in the mood for that. It's rough. But hey, at least Andy gets to explain how kissing works!

Need some help keeping up with the story? We've released all of our in-world handouts and letters in an awesome PHB-style document here! Look it over, take the deep dive, and you might make connections and come up with theories that the players haven't even noticed or considered!

The Fates of Ryn, Bonus Ep 7 - Three Versions: A Dungeons & Dragons Experiment

Helpful Goat Gaming — Fri, 13 Mar 2020 07:10:00 +0000

Bonus episodes of Goats & Dragons are meant to be enjoyed by anyone and everyone, with no familiarity with the ongoing storyline required! That being said, if you are following along with the Fates of Ryn story, be sure to listen to this episode between Season 2 Ep 31 and Season 2 Ep 32!

In this bonus episode, Andy DMs three one-on-one sessions with three different players. The catch? All of the sessions represent the same legendary moment in time: three improvised versions of a single myth, recalled by a character at a pivotal moment in our long-running D&D campaign. Our three guest players--KT (Pork Fried Dice, Big Gay Orcs, The 'Burbs 2019), Elyse (The Gatbuton Incident, Big Gay Orcs, Dead Channel, The 'Burbs 2019), and Rachel (Dead Channel)--each play the same character, in the same situation, with the same overarching objective -- all in the world of The Fates of Ryn! How do these three players pursue the same legendary goal in different ways? How does Andy change up his storytelling and DMing style based on different players' approaches--and different rolls of the dice? And how can collaborative improvised storytelling outside of a D&D campaign actually intersect with that campaign's narrative--and maybe even affect it? Listen to find out!

Featuring a special “Previously On” recap with scenes from Season 1 Episode 27 ("To Catch an Oni"), Season 2 Episode 7 ("Brightness, Part 1"), and Season 2 Episode 31 ("Advanced Paranoia and Pineapples")!

The dolphins, they seemed tame!

The premise: There is war on the horizon. The Gaholnian army is marching toward the border of Wigmoles. There have been some scrapes with local creatures lately and the military has had need of adventurers who like to keep things quiet and off the books. Because of this need, a party of adventurers has found some coin in the northern most town in Gaholnia, Gatbuton. A couple of nights ago, an old, traveling orc was nearly killed by some soldiers looking for an early fight. The group helped to defuse the situation and have stowed the orc away in a room in the back of the local tavern. In addition, the group now meets with a dwarf and his pregnant elven wife, who for some reason need to sneak out of town and flee across the border. They say they are willing to pay handsomely for the group's assistance.

Finally, another doomlilly shows up and this time Andy makes everyone hop off-stream so he can be all secretive about it or something. Goddamn Andy and his goddamn doomlillies.

Hmmm... so maybe we... SHOULDN'T have set fire to the stable master's house? Seems like maybe there's some useful stuff in there?? Also maybe the residents of Wistomere might not appreciate their town being on fire??? Maybe they don't really know how bad a guy the stable master was???? And maybe they won't be keen to believe a group of strangers who just came in and set fire to their town in a combat-driven fit of rage and frustration anyway????? ....... Nah, we're probably fine.

We call it Goats & Dragons and we have been having an absolute blast with it. So much so, that we are thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter for Helpful Goat: a podcast version of Goats & Dragons!

This podcast feed will include all of our first campaign, a homebrew adventure called The Fates of Ryn, and will make listening to our journey thus far a total breeze. We also have more seasons/campaigns planned for the future!

We couldn't be more excited to share our content in podcast format, so please subscribe to this feed and be on the look-out for our first batch of episodes--coming soon to a podcast app near you!

In the meantime, here is a short preview of our campaign, in which our halfling rogue, Burbage Kemp, explains to a couple of children why racism is bad. Enjoy!
