Campaigns

Campaign One: RECKONING

Where it all began.  Set in the entirely homebrewed system of Casa-Mal, the crew of the Persistence is inadvertently plunged into a political and cosmic conspiracy that leads them on an epic planet-hopping adventure of discovery, growth, loss and learning the importance of embracing your past with the understanding that who you were and who you’re expected to be doesn’t dictate who you are. The show follows MERRICK, a four-armed warrior in self-exile as he abandons the traditions of his people to forge his own path.  DURRIN, a ratfolk ex-assassin hiding from his violent past in an effort to start over and make-up for his past atrocities.  And CODY, an amnesic android obsessed with 80s action movies desperately searching for his best friend and creator.

Campaign Two: FRONTIERS

FRONTIERS picks up 25 years after the catastrophic events of RECKONING with a brand new cast of characters as a mysterious, uninhabited planet suddenly appears in Casa-Mal as the system rushes to investigate, secure and settle this potential new home for those displaced.  This new adventure will focus heavily on the themes of discovery and consequence with multiple ways the audience can interact and influence the narrative. Join the Discord and participate in votes as citizens of this new planet, band together with fellow listeners and create a Faction that will be represented within the in-game universe or submit a Quirk, Conflict or Catastrophe to the random event chart that will shape the campaign.

Dungeons & Dragons
We are Hearthfire Tales, we're from Ireland and we do D&D and TTRPG Related things! We tell stories that are mostly comedic, until they're not, and punch you in the feels. Sorry (not sorry)! Our Main adventure is audio only and set in Lethuan, the land of Might, Magic, and Metal, where strange monsters are appearing and it is up to roaming "bands" of adventurers to tour the land and save the day. But why is the Hootsman, so called protector of the land, nor his special police force, the Hootsforce, doing anything about it, and why is it up to a Punk Rock Ranger and Dad Rock Ex-Paladin to save the day?! We also have horror games, light hearted and heartwarming adventures, oneshots, a campaign we streamed on twitch, and lots of Live shows from conventions across Ireland.

Owlbear Rodeo
Tools & Platforms

Owlbear Rodeo

Virtual tabletop (VTT)
English
Free
Owlbear Rodeo is a "no-frills," browser-based virtual tabletop that prioritizes speed and ease of use above all else. Originally launched in 2020 as a simple image-sharing tool, it evolved into version 2.0 (and the 2024/2025 "Warp Core" engine updates), transitioning to a cloud-based subscription model while maintaining its "pick-up-and-play" spirit. It is the premier choice for GMs who prefer theater-of-the-mind play or quick tactical skirmishes without the heavy automation of larger platforms. Description Owlbear Rodeo is the digital equivalent of a dry-erase battle mat. It does not try to be a video game; instead, it provides a shared canvas where you can drop a map, throw down some tokens, and start rolling dice in under a minute. It is famous for requiring no player accounts—the GM simply creates a room and sends a link. While it has added advanced features like dynamic fog and extension support, it remains the most lightweight and mobile-friendly VTT on the market. System Overview & Key Features Zero-Friction Access Players do not need to register or sign in to join a game. By simply clicking a URL, they are instantly transported to the map with full access to their tokens. This makes it the undisputed king for one-shots, convention games, and introducing new players to the hobby. The Warp Core Engine The 2024/2026 "Warp Core" update introduced high-performance GPU rendering. This allows the browser to handle massive 144-megapixel maps and animated backgrounds with zero lag, even on older laptops or mobile devices. Modular Extension System Rather than bloating the base software with features, Owlbear uses "Plug-and-Play" extensions. You can toggle on a 5e Initiative Tracker, a Dice Roller, or a Clock tool only when you need them, keeping the interface clean and distraction-free. Pixel-Accurate Dynamic Fog The "Fog of War" tool allows GMs to hide sections of the map with incredible precision. You can use brushes to reveal specific corridors or use "Cut-out" shapes to simulate light sources, all of which syncs across every player's screen in real-time. Multi-Device Syncing Owlbear is built from the ground up for touchscreens. It is the only major VTT that feels natural on a tablet or phone, making it a popular choice for "hybrid" games where players use their devices at a physical table. Persistent Custom Rooms Paid tiers allow GMs to claim a unique, permanent URL (e.g., owlbear.rodeo/your-campaign). This room stays open 24/7, allowing players to check the map or move their tokens between sessions without the GM needing to be online.
