Tavern Talk News

[h2]Dear Tavernkeepers,[/h2][p]Yes, it's true: Cyrus Nemati will voice the narrator and tavernkeep of the Drowsy Dragon in the intro cutscene of Tavern Talk Stories: Dreamwalker. He is known from Hades I & II, where he voices Ares, Theseus, and Dionysus.[/p][p]This was made possible by the success of our Kickstarter campaign, which was funded in under 1 hour! [/p][p][/p][p]When we crossed 30.000€, we unlocked a lorepage that will be added to the in-game journal. It will offer rich lore related to the many themes found in Dreamwalker, like the star signs, the cosmology, the draconic pantheon, and the calendar. [/p][p]You can now look forward to diving into Asteria lore in-game![/p][p][/p][p]But the Kickstarter didn't stop there. We also managed to smash five other stretch goals with the support of our community. The next is just a few hundred Euros away and should really get you excited: [/p][p]If we manage to cross 50.000€ we will implement a decoration mode that lets you swap interior items, customizing your tavern background. Right afterwards, at 55.000€ we will add seasonal decoration packs for Halloween and winter.[/p][p][/p][p]We have many more stretch goals planned for y'all. [/p][p]Help us unlock more awesome content and grab one of the many items that were unlocked by crossing other goals, like Dreamwalker-themed character sheets or item cards you can use in your own TTRPG campaigns. Many of these new add-ons come entirely for free with the Patron tier. Intrigued?[/p][p][/p][p]Check out the campaign![/p][p][/p][p]See you soon in the Drowsy Dragon![/p][p]Your Gentle Trolls![/p]

Until now, they had no place in the budget. [/p][p]When we reach the main goal, we will add trinkets to Dreamwalker, including an overhauled feature from the original game that allows you to browse through them and spot the missing ones, which can be unlocked by playing other branches of the narrative.
