With Tabletop Tides, we want to bring epic fantasy stories right into your home. Using D&D as our foundation, our Actual Play show takes you to the gaming table and beyond into custom-built worlds. We are creating a new, high-quality, and diverse web series featuring weekly livestreams, community interaction, and fantastic storytelling! Tabletop Tides is an umbrella brand for fantasy Actual Play based in Leipzig: live, improvised, serialized, and community-driven. Our goal is for many things to emerge and grow under this roof.A fixed cast of actors and a Game Master work together, using Dungeons & Dragons mechanics, to tell an ongoing story set in a specially developed fantasy world.Tabletop Tides feels like a great adventure novel you lose yourself in at night: warm, mysterious, inviting, and full of alien worlds. The set is designed in the style of the current story, enriched with fantastic details from the world we’re playing in.Lighting, sound, and music react to the mood of the scene, supporting the narrative. Graphical overlays provide orientation and project the world's fantastic character to the audience. A score specially composed by our music department provides the emotional foundation. Drawing on our experience in fictional film, we aren't making a traditional TV show; instead, we are crafting atmospheric, cinematic visual worlds.The vibe: People at the table who trust one another. They laugh, joke, get anxious, comfort each other, and share genuine joy in the game. At the same time, these are professional actors who know how to make characters, emotions, and internal conflicts visible.The imperfections remain part of the format: slips of the tongue, laughter, surprises, rule questions, snacks, whispering, and spontaneous detours are all just part of the experience!We are fundraising here to produce a pilot episode of the series as a proof of concept, bringing us one step closer to full series production: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/verflimmert/...
Merkel, Merkel, Merkel! The post-war rats are cheerfully tinkering with the new album when suddenly, singer Culti notices that Wännerwann has swapped all the Ws and Ms. Of course, they don’t notice! They are working! And they are working on the new album. Behind "Wännerwann" hides none other than the taciturn, uh, rather word-shy guitarist of the rat pack: Männermann. Good heavens, that was a close call! Blissfully, they fall into each other's arms after solving this tricky case of word mix-up. The world could not be more beautiful. But suddenly, a brown wind blows into the rat hole. Could it be the old spirit of the German Wehrmacht returning? Wasn't it promised to us that we had learned something from history? Don’t they always pride themselves with the call: NEVER AGAIN FASCISM? The post-war rats know it’s time to take action. They nod to each other. Pissed off, they reach for their frying pans. With a grim smile, Culti opens the door. "Time to whack the brown plague over the head." {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41863657/7f9835801cfd6601e4266a726f287034643ac9f2.png
