Rats vs. Commoners - Talltale Tavern

What this episode covers

A plague has hit The Commonwealth of Plaintonville. For the past 6 weeks, giant rats have been coming up from the ground, attacking the people. The mayor has sent for heroes, but none have answered the call. It’s time for the Commoners to rise up and go below to fight the rats themselves.In this ridiculous one shot players play as Commoners with average hit points of 4. Every time they die, a new member of the town comes down to take their place. Players roll for HP and damage type, and must make up a new character on the fly. It’s ridiculous. It’s hilarious. It’s a lot of death.Follow the podcast's socials!Instagram:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@talltale_tavern_podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@TalltaleTavernPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@TalltaleTavernPodcast⁠⁠⁠Plus, join our ⁠⁠discord!⁠Thank you to our players!
