Welcome to the Gamer’s Tavern. This week’s episode was…a bit of a clusterfrag as we had a guest unfortunately cancel on us at the last minute. But swooping in to save us was Darrell Hardy (who spells his name wrong regardless of what he says on the podcast because everyone knows Darryl is spelled D-A-R-R-Y-L..but anyway…), a veteran of the gaming industry who has worked on more games than I can count. This week, we’re starting out Halloween specials with an episode of Horror Stories…but not the kind you may think. No, these are stories of gaming horror. Those nights when gaming goes awry and our hopes of a fun evening are dashed upon the rocks of bad players, bad DMs, miscommunication about tone, and other issues from the gaming table.
