#DnD inspired visual novel 💜 Play as the tavernkeeper! 🔥 Deep lore 💬 drink mixing 🍹 PnP humor 😹 Sign the Beebug Makeship petition(!): https://linktr.ee/taverntalkgame
Pinned
Captain Beebug is one step away from becoming a plushie! All we need is 200 signatures on the Makeship petition to move from "wouldn't that be dope" to prototyping!

Signing asks for a $2 pledge (subtracted from the final price later), and the petition is live until Oct 16, 5pm CEST. Link below! 🐝
Sneaky as we are, we've added an item to our DLC list that will make any lorekeeper's heart beat a little faster: the Tavern Talk 2: Dreamwalker Lorebook! 📘👀

24 pages filled with deep dives into character backgrounds, the meaning behind Asteria's zodiac signs, and so much more! Now on Steam!
October 26, 2026 at 6:31 PM
As promised, the sixth and last chapter, "Home", as a thank-you from all of us to you for a successful Makeship campaign 💚

We're well into spooky season, and over on gentle-troll.itch.io, we are celebrating with 50% off our Tempest Tantrum story DLC, our Pirate Palooza costume DLC — making sure Melli and [redacted] are in style for Halloween — and, to keep up with the theme, our Come Hell or High Water D&D adventure 🏴‍☠️🎃
October 22, 2026 at 4:30 PM
And with that, it's a wrap on our petition! 🐝✨️ Some of you may have already noticed, but (despite a few 404 outages and some other troubles along the way) the Captain Beebug plushie is becoming a reality!
October 21, 2026 at 3:00 PM
The final hours of the @Makeship petition are upon us — and with that, the final stretch for us to get your vote of confidence in the realisation of this most rotund bee
Whether you're looking for your next plushie, wanna support us, or know someone who could use a flower-crowned bee: link below!
October 20, 2026 at 3:31 PM
The last few days are on the clock, and we've passed the next milestone. It'll be a close one, but I reckon we can still turn this bee into the roundest plushie. In case you had a 404 error upon clicking "pre-order" on Makeship, the error has been fixed, and the website is ready to take your pledge!
October 16, 2026 at 6:00 PM
A quick push for all the #plushie enthusiasts among us:
We're only about 2 days away from closing the petition, and we still need ~70 people throwing in their pledge to make Captain Beebug an actual little guy.

Any #signalboost and share's incredibly appreciated 💚🐝

When you introduce your girlfriend to the local bee population, it goes about as well as you expected.

We've made it past the 100 signatures mark — which means we're halfway there. Next chapter is sitting at about the same milestone at 150 signatures, with the wrap-up sixth chapter at 200. Reckon we can still get the crate delivered, the Mariyam's informed, and back to the Drowsy Dragon in time? 😨

Y'all really crushed hitting the mark for chapter 3 — less than 24h, too! But there's still a long way to go to make sure our Captain Beebug is being turned into a plush; so go share the petition, leave comments, and let's make sure we hit that 200-signature mark!

Spooky season is almost upon us, and every tavern should be ready for when the haints and haunts of the world come visit. Get your jack-o'-lanterns set & dust off your vampire fangs!

Don't have Tavern Talk or Tavern Talk 2: Dreamwalker? They're 50% and 20% off on Steam RIGHT NOW!

Happy Halloween!

Somehow we thought this would take y'all a little longer. But then again, this is only ramping up, so keep up the momentum! 👀 Chapter 3 coming tomorrow!

If you wanna help us get chapter 4 on the road as well, you know what to do: www.makeship.com/petitions/ca...

And it wouldn't be us if we didn't give you something sweet to go with the Makeship petition!

Say 'hello' to the first chapter of the "Familiar Trouble" comic (-... working title) — and read along as we rake up signatures!

I was told that "something thicc this way comes 💀" would, in fact, not be seen as a fun play on Macbeth, so instead we are just shouting it out into the world:

IN 24H OUR PETITION TO TURN THE THICCEST BEE INTO A PLUSHIE GOES LIVE!!

Continuing our #conceptart showcase, here are the first iterations of Kya — and take it from us: creating a fae character is WILD! 'cause what do you mean they could have antlers, antennae, flower crowns, hooves, fur, wings — the list goes on indefinitely. Fun creative problems to have, tho 🧚‍♀️
October 1, 2026 at 5:30 PM
It's almost #inktober2026 time, and with that, we would like to throw in a last-minute challenger. Or challenge list, rather? The time of #swordtember is almost over, so we are bringing ✨️ #DRINKTOBER ✨️

Ever needed a reason to bring out the red string and a cork board? Tavern Talk 2: Dreamwalker has got you covered. You've played the original Tavern Talk? Bring more re string. Much more. Still more. Yes, that's enough. 👀

-... want to get featured as well? Write a review for Dreamwalker on Steam!

Look, sometimes you all start a thing, and we have no other choice but to agree. How else did the croissant joke make its way into Rune's repertoire? So, to commemorate this community effort: have some Quaissant! 🥐

Time to unpack some more #conceptart for you all!

Of course, our characters also go through a lot of iterations before we’re happy with their design. These are the first concepts of Cain... And what can I say: he definitely gained a lot of muscle mass since then. Beefy boy. Short King Beef. 💪

Some fanart I made of Fable from the game Tavern Talk! I really like their character and design ✨

Sharktober: 24. Shark Tavern

This little shark decided to get a magical water orb and visit the Wayfarer’s Inn. They got themself a sweet lemon shark drink. 🍹
Looks like the little shark and Andu are about to be best friends.

Alright, audience participation time! If you were to make a quest for the quest board-... what would it be about? 👀 Feel free to screenshot or download—whichever suits you best—and pen your own fantastical adventures! Bonus points for little sketches!

A big part of developing a game is hunting all the bugs down, so that you all have the smoothest possible experience. Sometimes it’s certain text bubbles not loading, and sometimes... well, sometimes it’s just a very intense dawn 🔆
