Hear ye, hear ye! Tales From the Tables is back with episode 45: You Must Live On!
Angela learns an important spell from Aribeth before finally making it back among the living.
Whew... sorry I'm late, I was aiming for yesterday... But between being sick, and a huge 1600km (each way) trip to hang out with the ForeverDM and our D&D clique for Thanksgiving, I've only managed to wrap it a day late.
Hope y'all are enjoying the story so far! There's SO MUCH more ahead.
As for what it is that Aribeth taught Angie, it's a flavored, Angie specific version of this ForeverDM spell. :)
Should you wish to find the rest, it's all here :)
Tales From the Tables is back with episode 44: Steel, Blood and Fire!
Angela has an unexpected meeting in the Fugue Plane. And the more seasoned D&D games among us will recognize a familiar face.
Apologies to James Ohlen, but this was too funny of a spin not to take :)
As always, you can find the whole story on Tapas or Webtoon. And please consider supporting us... it means more than I can express.
Tales From the Tables episode 43: Veil of Memories, part 2!
Angela re-lives some of her childhood memories...
Whew, FINALLY finished this episode! Another looooong 4-pager. I hope you can forgive me that we'll be doing 11 episodes this year rather than the full 12... Note how much longer they are! There's just so much story I want to convey, and so much more ahead of us Featuring a lovely design for Morena Dekarios by Necromoss. It's exactly how I imagined her... and I feel we D&D artists should mutually "canonize" our works if possible, soooo... here we are! :D
And if you're new to the story, you can always find the rest under these links, take your pick!
Tales From the Tables ep. 42: Veil of Memories
Angela catches a glimpse beyond the veil of memories while her fate hangs by a thread.
So sorry this episode was so late! Lots of work on brand new, detailed backgrounds, plus the annual summer visit with my elderly parents back across the ocean... ;_;
Anyway, hope it was worth the wait! Lots of answers! And perhaps even more new questions, as the plot thickens some more!
If you're curious about more of Angela's backstory, TheForeverDM has a neat video about it :)
Well, where do you prefer to read it? Tapas or Webtoon, for the ease of navigation? Or DeviantArt, for that glorious UHD resolution? Take your pick :)
It means.... all will be revealed in the following episodes XD Yes I'm that evil. Learned from my DM :D
Hear ye, hear ye! Tales From the Tables is back with episode 41, and the 5th and final part of the Devil's Due arc. And boy, was it difficult to draw this one. Not in technical terms, of course... but mostly in emotional ones. Things may seem dark., but please keep in mind it always seems darkest before dawn. Have faith, everyone.
Also, there's some really big reveals coming soon, in the next few episodes :)
Hear ye, hear ye! Tales From the Tables is back with episode 40: **Devil's Due, part 4! ** Our intrepid misadventurers face off against the devil Alexander and his numerous summoned minions... will they prevail? 😱
No worries! Hope you enjoy the story, should you choose to give it a chance :)
A comic which was literally born on r/DnDMemes (before it was ruined) 3+ years ago. Many episodes early on are single-shot jokes that function well as memes. We took a turn towards serious long-form stories, and keep sharing there due to popular demand. And here, because migrating redditors specifically asked me to.
Hear ye, hear ye!
Tales From the Tables is back with episode #39!
Our intrepid misadventurers commence the long awaited showdown with the devil Alexander. Roll for initiative!
Whew... barely managed to finish it for my self-imposed deadline... but I really hope y'all enjoy the unfolding story. It's quite the tonal shift from when we began 3+ years ago but hey, isn't that just how D&D campaigns play out? :D
BTW, should you be a new reader, you can always find the rest on Tapas or Webtoon. Links here :)
Hear ye, hear ye!
Tales From the Tables is back with episode 38, Devil's Due, part 2! Because the devil, they say, is in the details...
It's the longest episode I've made yet! 4 pages! While it's not something I can pull off every month, it's my dream to one day retire from my day job and draw full-time, and deliver longer, more ambitious tales like this every month! One can dream.
You can always find the rest on Webtoon and Tapas.

I've only realized the mess i got myself into after i started, haha
Our intrepid adventurers encounter a mysterious stranger in need of assistance. Nothing suspicious here, I assure you.
As always, you can find the rest of the story on either Tapas or Webtoon. If you could spare a coin, please support us on Patreon - it helps immensely and helps us towards our dream of drawing this tale full time, bigger, better and more often!

So sorry it took me so long to finish this one... I've been very sick for the past two weeks, along with Nala and our little Bean :(
Or listen to, as well, beautifully voice acted. Solus Astorias covered 24 episodes, with another batch coming soon :)
**Hear ye, hear ye!

Tales From the Tables is back with episode 35: Echoes of the Past, part 2!
While on a quest from lady Laeral Silverhand, our intrepid adventurers come across a magical mirror while exploring the basement of a long-ruined mansion, and Redwen finds answers to some life-long questions...
Tales From the Tables episode 34: Echoes of the Past, part 1 (of 2, probably).
Our intrepid misadventurers begin to uncover the secrets of the long abandoned mansion Laeral Silverhand sent them to explore, and things start to fall into place...
Also poor Eri should leave rogue things to the rogue.
Whew... I finished this at 4AM. Work has been INTENSE on our ongoing ActualPlay series on Youtube, with tons of new art by yours truly. I'm just glad I've managed to finish this for my usual deadline of the first Saturday of the month. I know it's arbitrary, but I'd hate to disappoint you guys ;_;
Whew... please consider supporting our little comic if you can, it helps more than you know. ^^
Obligatory Linktree :)
It's the silver hair that ends up looking gray and making her appear older than she otherwise would...
That was the description from Volo's, it was updated in Mordenkainen's. It's multiple times now, equal to proficiency bonus.
That's just Link Tree though... industry standard for compiling links on one list, without posting a spam like this:
-Read Tales From the Tables on Tapas
-Read Tales From the Tables on Webtoon
-See the doodles in HD on DeviantArt
-Check out our ActualPlay D&D adventures on Youtube!
-Check out my Twitter for doodles and news
-Buy me a coffee, every little bit helps!
It's just... a lot neater, less cringy...
Nope, the Hidden Step ability can be used multiple times (equal to the proficiency bonus), activated at the start of each round. With a bit of clever planning of his moves, he can totally pull this off. The description from Volo's is obsolete, superseded by an updated one in Mordenkainen Presents.
Besides, we all know Volo's a bulshitter and gets things wrong :D
... what site? There's a selection of various different options where you can follow it. I.E. if you don't like Tapas, go for Webtoon, etc... Sorry, no idea which one is giving you trouble :(
Episode 33: Surrender, vile brigands!
Our intrepid misadventurers attempt to liberate the ruins of Lady Eleanor and Lord Cedric's mansion from the hands of the Zhentarim, and one of their character builds has a chance to shine...
You can always find the rest here :)
She just needs it as reference... to make sure they found the correct mien XD That's her excuse at least. And Laeral is more amused than anything. Like a mom watching a toddler do something silly.
Our intrepid adventurers are summoned before Lady Laeral Silverhand. What could she want with our band of misfits?
Featuring a cameo from our friends at the Handbook of Heroes!
Whew... barely managed to finish this episode before my self imposed deadline of "first Saturday of every month". Between the numerous art assets for the tale of The Best Available for TheForeverDM on Youtube, coming up with an exciting story for Tales From the Tables, and chasing after a curious 18-month old, it's not easy, haha.
It does happen though, and that's exactly what happened to Doric in Honor Among Thieves.
Hear ye, hear ye!
Tales From the Tables is back with episode 31: Innocence Lost!
The party's polar opposites, Angela the paladin and Redwen the rogue continue bonding over their backstories, as Redwen's tale is revealed.
So happy to have made it on time this month. I've been working crazy hard on art assets for our ActualPlay series, with a new episode coming out tomorrow! With an adorable little toddler under my feet, there's hardly enough time to even eat or sleep, haha.
Anyway, as always, you can always find the rest of the story on either Tapas or Webtoon! All relevant links here :)
Enjoy!
Maybe it just needed more time to load the full resolution. It's a pretty huge file.
🤐
I certainly don't intend to stop. It's just that for whatever bloody reason all the social platforms keep suiciding from under my feet XD
Well, if social media collapse you can always just find my stuff on Tapas and Webtoon :D
So... new here, migrated from r/dndmemes which apparently imploded?
I was trying to post this episode there as I always have since the start of the series, but it turns out it's all on mod approval now and my post has been in limbo forever.
I was told a lot of the users migrated here so...
Hear ye, hear ye!
Tales From the Tables Episode 30: "So where were we?" is now live!
First of all let me apologize that we didn't continue with Redwen's backstory this month. That's coming, I promise! It's just that because of... family things and overseas travel, I wouldn't have been able to do it justice this month. But you get the long awaited info page for the ForeverDM himself! So I hope you can forgive me 😥
