We run a variety of TTRPG systems, all with a focus on a narrative-first approach that gives players the freedom to define their own story. Our work is inspired by the ancient storytelling traditions of the Homeric epics, the travelling Celtic seanchaí, and many more making our Storytellers unlike any other paid GM on the market.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

Dungeons and Dragons (5e and 2024) - the staple and core of the Badger Tales offering Daggerheart- An exciting roleplay focused game with rules medium mechanics that works perfectly with our roleplay heavy approach. City of Mist- a neo noir rules light game that captures the wonders of mythology.

People are always surprised when I tell them

All our Storytellers are trained and inspired by ancient storytelling techniques from Homer to Travelling Celtic seanchaí . we don't refer to ourselves as GMs because at our heart we are storytellers. This makes our games truly unique and epic.

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

out three business tenets - professional= we have strict safety codes - creative= all our sessions are original and homebrew - performer= we bring performance into everything we do with high quality voice acting and characterisation.

How Badger Tales runs games

Badger Tales puts roleplay, performance, and narrative first in everything we do, creating stories unlike any other. Performers: All of our GMs are master performers bringing a wide range of voice acting, accents and characterisation to play. Masters of Homebrew: Our worlds are lovingly crafted with rich, immersive detail, from religion and culture to food and folklore. When you play in one of our games, you don’t just roll dice, you step into a living, breathing story. Real life epic: we are deeply inspired by real-world mythology, history, and legend. From Homeric epics to Celtic Ulster Cycle we learn from and grow our tales by looking to the past and the stories that resonate throughout time. Safe and professional: We have strong safety protocols in place, ensuring your game is not only unforgettable, but also respectful, inclusive, and safe for everyone at the table.

Badger Tales's ideal table

Our ideal table is built on safety and creativity. We craft rich, original homebrew settings and draw on storytelling techniques inspired by ancient oral traditions. Nothing excites us more than a table of players ready to dive into complex, character-driven stories in a world that responds and adapts to their actions.

I am for a vibe that's...

Built on positive creativity and mutual group roleplaying. We work to help our players be a part of building their experience so they leave with a story that deeply matters to them, long after the dice have gone away.

I love it when a player

Fully embraces their character and faces difficult decisions in game that define what their characters story will be.

My table is not the place for...

Bigotry and cruelty. We create highly detailed worlds with complex themes but everything that is displayed is discussed beforehand. We don't allow for any overstepping of these boundaries. A safe and welcoming table is the most important thing.
