We’ve decided that a fun way to carve some enjoyment out of this uncooperative year is to do a general spooky topics roundup and so we’ve got another one for you this week. We start off with some exciting news: Jenny has done a fashion walk and Peter is on […]
One thing that I have noticed on social media (specifically the TTRPG corners of Twitter) is that when people try to change things from how they’ve been done in the past, there’s often significant pushback. In addition to the usual nasty internet behavior such as name-calling, insults, sea lioning, and […]
If you like our longer episodes, you’re in for a treat with this one. We had a lot to say this time, and the fact that we recorded this one in two different sections due to some connection issues probably also contributed to the overall length. We start off as […]
My Sunday group finally got to play again this weekend after I had to cancel two sessions in a row. Because the sessions are every other week now, this meant that it was over a month since I last got to play with that group, and I was very anxious […]
Though we’ve done an episode on undeath in general, we figured that ghosts deserved an episode of their own, since they occupy a somewhat unique role in fiction. We start the episode off with a check-in as usual and… last Monday and the days leading up to it were rough, […]
One of the most common challenges of GMing is to keep coming up with NPCs that are meaningfully distinct. Another used to be coming up with names, but in today’s world of the internet, that one is solved. Between name generators, baby name sites, and sites that break down the […]
With Grant out due to illness and a host of technical issues (that have thankfully since been mostly resolved) besetting us, we opted for a bonus episode this week. This episode is specifically focusing on adding some additional texture to the religious life of a Karkovian barony for a future […]
I’ve written about the planned game for the Saturday group a couple of times, but one thing that’s been interesting for me is that various meta-considerations have altered my plans for it, though the general plan remains the same. So let’s talk about the way that’s happened, how the changes […]
This week’s episode is the second-quarter Patreon topic (a little late). We’ve referenced cosmic horror a number of times throughout our run, but never in this kind of depth. As is usual, we spend a bit of time catching up and then move into our Patreon question, supplied this time […]
A quick acknowledgment and thank-you to my supervisor at work is in order. I had him look this over before I posted it, and he thought of a couple of things I didn’t. In particular, the note about URL shorteners is to his credit. This post has been on my […]
Not feeling well and not being able to get to the internet robbed us of Jenny this week. However, despite that lack, this was a great episode because we had an awesome guest host! Paranoia writer WJ MacGuffin joined us to talk about incorporating real-world faiths into our gaming. We […]
Things have stabilized enough where I feel comfortable coming back to the post I wrote about King’s Quest III back in May. I mentioned in that post that I think it’d make a good fantasy scenario – let’s take a look at what that scenario would work like. Meta Considerations […]
