The party continues through the Dead Three Dungeon pushing to the end, not before encountering more of its secrets, triggering traps of lethal proportion, and a deadly necromancer.
The party follow up on information gathered from the Elfsong Tavern and head to the bath house to look for a secret entrance used by the Dead Three cultists. Finding them will gain trust from the Flaming Fist Captain, and possibly earn respect enough to clear their names from the murder that brings them together.
A party drawn together under strange circumstances tied to a murder in the city. Since then, the guard have closed off the borders and prevented anyone from entering or exiting Baldur's Gate. Now those involved in the murder having kept it secret, find themselves set on a quest to help a Captain of the Flaming Fist gather information from an informant at Elfsong Tavern.
Before the official season begins for D&D 5th Edition's "Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus" campaign, the party must first decide on some major roles and conditions for which the story begins. They select to start being tied to a particular murder in Baldur's Gate, being executed by one in the party, lied about by another, while the rest were simple bystanders pulled into the growing conspiracy. What happens next will be the beginning a grand adventure.

Rob from Gold Mountain Games (who have been going from strength to strength) returned to discuss what they've been up to in the six months since the whole OGL debacle. We discuss Balder's Gate 3, Resident Evil, Bards (horny and non-horny), and Squidge's ideas for Apple stores.Remember that you can always get in touch with us on our Facebook page, on Twitter, or with our Contact page.Content WarningUsually, we'll add warnings here about swears and such, but with this episode, there was some background noise on Rob's audio. Squidge (our hard-working editor, and audio engineering expert) did everything he could to isolate and remove it, but there's one part where it's a little rough: 23:16 when Rob is describing the game SCUM.We hope the background noise doesn't take you out of the episode too much.Show NotesFrom active timer battling to zombie slaying, Waffling Taylors covers video games beyond.In part one of this episode, we are joined by Rob from Gold Mountain Games. We reminisce about gaming as we grew up, as well as covering everything from ram-raiding shop windows as pirates-for-dummies to the dangers of horny warlocks. Yeah, you'll have to wait for that one.So, without further ado, sit back, grab some snacks, and get ready for this episode entitled "A Catch-up with Rob, No Bards Allowed - Part One"Enjoy.— SquidgeFor this episode, Rob from Gold Mountain Games made his second-ever appearance on the show and wanted to talk about all things video games. You might remember him from his previous appearance where both he and his business partner Tim discussed the (then) impending changes to the Dungeons & Dragons license agreement (the Open Game License of OGL) - here's a link to that episode.But before any of that, it was important to have Rob talk about Gold Mountain Games in his own words:So, Gold Mountain Games: we are a small tabletop RPG production studio. And one of the things that's changed since last time we spoke is that we are now a tabletop production company rather than a [D&D] fifth edition production company, which is quite... I think that lots of people have done that because of what happened.But yeah, so we have our own setting, as you've mentioned, the Salt Reach Isles. We've had a successful Kickstarter for a Zine... And that focuses on one of the cities that we've written. It's got some species in it, it's got some monsters, some spells, and we are currently editing the second magazine for that. So that's going to be coming to Kickstarter in a couple of months.We've got some streams being recorded, so we've got one in our setting. We're about to start Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus, partly because Baldur's Gate 3 is coming out, which is very exciting. I'm desperately stopping myself starting another playthrough before they release it fully. And that's also interesting because we've got two complete noobs playing it. So they know nothing about D&D at all....And then the other thing we've got going on at the moment, which I'm really excited about, is Dark Legacies is an amazing franchise written by Chris McCauley and Claudia Christian from Babylon 5 fame. And they've got two comics out of four out so far. There's going to be a miniatures game, there's going to be, apparently an animated TV series. There's a card game.And we've just signed a contract with them to publish their RPG, which is like Dark Legacy's Corporation Wars, it's called. I actually got some of the content yesterday and had a read through it and it's really good. It's a mixture of that kind of the Cyberpunk that you know and love with a bit of that really Dark Judge Dredd style in it. It's got bits of the Expanse in there as well. It's really interesting and I'm really excited that we're going to be publishing that... We'll be publishing the main book and then we'll also be creating more content for it. We're going to have a live stream of it as well. There's a lot of exciting stuff coming out of it.— RobSo if you're interested in tabletop gaming, Babylon 5, Cyberpunk (the tabletop RPG game, that is) and/or the futurism and grim dark of Judge Dredd, then you should be checking out Gold Mountain Games.Dungeons & Dragons, Tabletops, and NovelsAnd speaking of D&D, at the time of recording Jay was reading through Aaron A Reed's 50 Years of Text Games: From Oregon Trail to AI Dungeon - which he was a Kickstarter backer for - and talked about how interesting it is that a lot of the earliest PC games where based on either D&D or the tabletop war games that inspired Gary Gygax to come up with D&D. Which reminded Rob of his first video game memory:I was in Great Ormond Street Hospital when I was six or seven. And in there they had, like, a play area on the children's ward, and they had a computer in there and they had this text based game where you were walking through the woods and you had to find the witch's hut and avoid getting killed by the witch. And that was all.I'd completely forgotten it until you started talking about that. But yet that's probably my earliest memory of a computer game is exactly that. It's sitting there in a hospital of all places going, "oh, choose your Own adventure."I wonder how much fighting fantasy had to do with it as well.— RobAnd Squidge summed up video game history and D&D's involvement quite succinctly:It's like: early D&D is sort of like [the Rosetta Stone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_Stone) to everything that came afterwards— SquidgeWhat's interesting about Rob's earliest video game memory is that it reminded Jay of the opening scene of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin - which is an amazing book and filled with references to video games.Full Show NotesCheck out the full show notes for the full list of Squidge's questions, some extra stuff, and some links to related things.Reach out to us on Discord, Twitter, Facebook, or try our brand-new contact page.Links of Interest Join our Discord server and be part of future episodes Our Facebook page Us on Twitter Support us on Ko-Fi Gold Mountain Games On Facebook On Twitter On Instagram On Tik-Tok On Twitch On YouTube Gold Mountain Games on Patreon The Open Game License of OGL Climbing the Gold Mountain with Rob and Tim The Saltreach Isles Zine 1: Zilaram 50 Years of Text Games: From Oregon Trail to AI Dungeon the Rosetta Stone Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin SCUM Larian Studios Signing Off...

Take two! It's the rematch of the century! Mairi must fend off Demogorgon as he tries to push his way into Hell from a portal in the Abyss while The Red Rider, who it turns out is someone very close to Mairi, experiences a vision from Torm. The last time Mairi and the Prince of Demons went head-to-head-to-head with Demogorgon she was crushed to death and wound up in Barovia.

The guys had an opportunity to chat with James Haeck this week. Writer for projects such as Critical Role, Baldur's Gate Descent into Avernus, and Aetherial Expanse. Give it a listen and enjoy another great guest with the Grumpy Dungeon Masters!
Mairi sneaks into another rich person's estate only to discover devil worship going on in the basement! Last time that happened she was brutally murdered. Last time Tea saw a cult in a basement it was the UCB Theater in Chelsea. Anyway, here's hoping she learned from past mistakes, because if Mairi dies now there's no Raven Queen to watch out for her.

After months at sea Mat and Mairi put their time in Chult behind them and return to the Sword Coast. A bit south of Waterdeep lies the city of Baldur's Gate, feared by even the most fearsome warriors who know to watch their backs while walking along the streets, lest they find a knife in it.
