Updated! Bard & Barbarian has updated over on my Patreon with Ch21, “Precocial.” To spare you from googling, precocial young are up on their feet and walking soon after birth. But I think my favorite part of this installment may be the introduction of the party’s new cleric. ::twinkle::

Marc and Imber. They met when Imber was just a kid. The “divine beast” shaped the half-elf’s plans, giving him something to strive for. Because every adventure must be shared.
The years flowed past, bringing people and taking them away again. Usually, this inevitability didn’t bother Marc. If he found good companions for a time, he was grateful. But every so often, rarer than the crossroads of Cataclysms, he would find a man brave enough to smile into the face of his storm. Imber had the makings of such a friend.

For those who haven’t taken note, Bard & Barbarian is an original story about two of the characters I played in my very first DnD campaign. What can I say … I got attached. So I’m giving them a story. Imber’s and Marc’s serialized adventure will undoubtedly be a stand-alone book one day, but if you want to be a part of their story while it’s unfolding, become a patron.

Updated! Bard & Barbarian has updated over on my Patreon with Ch20, “New Members.” We haven’t seen some of these folks since the Larking in Brindleby arc! ::twinkle::

New Chapter. I’m easing my way into a quicker pace for posting new chapters of Bard & Barbarian, in part so I can stay ahead of Travis Baldree, who’s handling the narration of our tale. For those who haven’t taken note, Bard & Barbarian is an original story about two of the characters I played in my very first DnD campaign. What can I say … I got attached. So I’m giving them a story. Imber’s and Marc’s serialized adventure will undoubtedly be a stand-alone book one day, but if you want to be a part of their story while it’s unfolding, become a patron.

Fun Fact: In today’s installment, I introduce two other characters that I played during a brief “funhouse campaign” our DM put on while I was prepping for my first stint as a DM in our current campaign. I mean … why not? Right? ::twinkle::

Serial Narration. Many of you already know Travis Baldree’s voice because he narrates the Amaranthine Saga. And you’ll soon get to enjoy his narration of the Songs of the Amaranthine (coming in August 2021). Today, I’m delighted to announce that Travis will be narrating the serial adventure that I’m currently posting over on Patreon. Narrated chapters are being added to the perks for patrons! Early drop of Ch1 of Bard & Barbarian will go live for higher tiers this coming Wednesday (2/17). They’ll unlock later (after a 4-chapter delay) for more levels, starting at the Twinkle tier.
Bard & Barbarian
Summary: Imber was only a boy when he first met the divine beast who would one day share his adventures.
Audio Posting Schedule: every other Wednesday
Abundant thanks to Travis, who made room in his busy schedule for a bit of collaboration. The chapters I’ve previewed are already putting a smile on my face. (Spoiler: he sings!) And he was a good sport about letting us chibi-fy him for promotional purposes!
You won’t want to miss this!

New Chapter. I’ve been so busy with putting the finishing touches on Captured on Film, posting January’s installment of Bard & Barbarian slipped my mind until yesterday. ::facepalm:: The deed’s done. For those who haven’t taken note, Bard & Barbarian is an original story about two of the characters I played in my very first DnD campaign. What can I say … I got attached. So I’m giving them a story. Imber’s and Marc’s serialized adventure will undoubtedly be a stand-alone book one day, but if you want to be a part of their story while it’s unfolding, become a patron.
Chapter 18: “Rally Roar”


New Chapter. A bit behind schedule, but I’ve added last month’s installment to Bard & Barbarian. It’s an original story about two of the OCs I played during my first DnD campaigns. What can I say … I got attached. Their serialized adventure will undoubtedly be a stand-alone book one day, but if you want to be a part of their story while it’s unfolding, become a patron.
Chapter 17: “Tell Me a Secret”


New Chapter. I’ve added this month’s installment to Bard & Barbarian. It’s an original story about two of the OCs I played during my first DnD campaigns. What can I say … I got attached. Their serialized adventure will undoubtedly be a stand-alone book one day, but if you want to be a part of their story while it’s unfolding, become a patron.
Chapter 16: “Don’t Be Strangers”


New Chapter. I’ve added this month’s installment to Bard & Barbarian. It’s an original story about two of the OCs I played during my first DnD campaigns. What can I say … I got attached. Their serialized adventure will undoubtedly be a stand-alone book one day, but if you want to be a part of their story while it’s unfolding, become a patron.
Last month’s installment concluded Part 1, so we’re embarking on Part 2 of this tale. Imber’s grown quite a bit, and he’s ready to broaden his horizons. If he can convince a certain adventuring party that he would be an asset. ::twinkle::
Chapter 15: “Reprise”
