The realms of Tamalaria have known many heroes in the course of their history, each with his or her own epic tale. For Dren Laggit, a surprisingly scrawny apprentice blacksmith, tales of adventure and daring-do should only have ever intersected with his life if he were to be responsible for crafting the weapons or armor that helped such a hero on their noble quest. Enter Andrei Dolstov, a minotaur freelance adventurer undertaking such a journey! Except, well, he''s going to drag Dren and his master smithy out on the road with him.And Dolstov turns out to be a bit of a drunk and a rabble-rouser.Dren will learn that some journeys of note, when they begin, are Not So Epic.Join storyteller Joshua T. Calkins-Treworgy once again in the 4th Age of Tamalaria, where heroes (and not quite heroes) are born!

Warren Voss once lived the high life; the best of everything was within arm’s reach, and he owed it all to his hard work, dedication, and ability. Of course, he was putting those to work on behalf of The Zapper, a nefarious supervillain, so these were not precisely ethically-sourced gains, as it were. Yet now, Warren scrapes by, living with his widower father, working a dead-end security guard job at a failing shopping mall. What happened to put him in such circumstances? Getting pinched by the Hero Action Committee, that’s what.Now Warren is a member of a different kind of outfit, Henchmen’s Anonymous, and like any member of such an organization, he’s getting by just like they all recommend- by Working the Program.
