Games in the Cloud
As a reminder, or for anyone who missed the news:
One Shots in the Cloud is a new pilot program spin-off of Home Game in the Cloud, made entirely of non-D&D one shots that run over one-to-two-sessions, allowing you to dip your toe into different games without committing to a full campaign, but can potentially leading to more one shots, or a full HGitC campaign.
For now it’s still in pilot, as we evaluate things carefully. If you like it, be sure to let us know by signing up for a game and/or sending us feedback!

September – Yar, It’s a Pirate Takeover!
September 19th be Talk Like A Pirate Day, and we be havin’ special content at the Virtual D&D Weekend! We be talkin’ about it more next month, but we tellin’ ye right now, we be havin’ Lordship of the Isles for the first time with Tales from Turtleback Cove! As well as DM-Led piratical content and an in-server treasure hunt!
Iuzual Suspects will also be running pirate content, venturing back to the Lordship of the Isles for another round of swashbuckling adventure! More details on what adventures are appearing soon, but if you’re heading to Dragon Con, you might have a good idea! Iuzual Suspects will be running September 25-27, the weekend immediately following September’s VDDW, proving two back to back weekends of pirate adventure!
October – Boo, It’s Liar’s Night!
VDDW starts on Liar’s Night – October 31st! Yes, we’re going to have spooky things, but let’s talk about those later..
Winding Down
August is your last chance to play Highfolk 4, 5, and 6 after having extended 4 and 5 an extra month due to popular demand.
LoG-RoF 1-7: Downwind of Disaster and LoG-RoF 1-8: Upstream of Catrastrophe are on the bubble, and will only run again if demand is strong!
Coming Up
In September. two more Legends of Greyhawk adventures make it from Gen Con to VDDW – LoG-DoG 1-6: Architect of Silence and LoG-DoG 1-S2: The Black Star Commission (Multi-Table Special!)! September also brings two new Tales Unheard stories, and the first adventure from the Shield Lands: Wild Valor!
A second Shield Lands adventure: All Eyes on Meadford will be waiting for you in October, along with another two Tales Unheard adventures! And since it’s such a spooky month, we’re bringing back the Strahd triple header: Death House, Strahd Must Die Tonight!, and Weekend at Strahd’s! Those first two are Adventurers League legal, while Weekend at Strahd’s most definitely is not.
DM-Led content will also get a little spooky in October, and then, maybe, just maybe, if you turn in for October’s Scry Ahead you can learn a little more about a super secret thing that we’re going to be running…
Reminder: Plans are only PLANS and are subject to change! The further out we go, the more likely content is to change!
