I’ve written about King’s Quest III before, way back in September of 2016 in the context of unfinished stories. But that take doesn’t quite do justice to my feelings about the game, and given that I still have opinions about something that originally released back in 1986, it’s probably worth […]

This week we have more unstructured, conversational episode for you. Grant and Peter realized back in episode 173 that we’d like to talk about when players know what the GM is planning, but as we talked about the upcoming episode, we all realized that what we had was more of […]
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. -Galatians 6:2 There’s a meme going around, I’m sure you’ve seen it, that frames the extra time granted by the COVID-19 pandemic as some kind of opportunity to be seized. It’s not. I mean, if […]
Grant, Peter and Jenny are joined by Jason Brick, veteran freelance writer in the TTRPG industry (and several others besides!). We kick off with a little chatter and swiftly move into our Patreon question from Joseph Linardon who asks ” What would be your dream job?” Answering that takes significantly […]
I was hoping to get to this specific post a little sooner, but circumstances intervened in a number of different ways. This is going to be another breakdown of translating a specific style of game (in this case with only one real entry) from the realm of video games over […]
The hosts are all here for this one, and we kick off with a discussion of our games, which are generally going quite well, and a bit about the homeschooling of Grant’s kids during the pandemic lockdown. The Patreon question this episode comes from Paige Lowe, who asks ” How […]
Once again, the specter of harassment and bad behavior has reared its ugly head in the gaming community. This time it came to our doorstep. For the first time since we opened up the Discord, we had to ban someone in March. The cause? Harassment of another Discord participant. And […]
We’re back to our usual release schedule and episode progression this week for True Neutral. The discussion kicks off with the obligatory nod to COVID-19 (wash your hands!) and a nod back to our “emergency bonus” episode and blog post about remote gaming. There’s a bit of discussion about how […]
As promised, this is our “emergency bonus episode” about remote gaming. It’s edited much more roughly than normal but as we say in the episode, turnaround was our top priority for this one. In the episode, we referenced a blog post that I posted yesterday. That is here for easy […]
As I sit down to type this, basically the entire world is in at least a limited state of lockdown. The COVID-19 virus is sweeping across the world, and countries are all taking steps to attempt to limit the spread and “flatten the curve” of the virus. It’s an unprecedented […]
With Jenny out due to travel, Grant and Peter return temporarily to the days when it was just the two of them on the podcast and do something they haven’t done on air before, or at least for quite a while: brainstorm about one specific game, namely the campaign Peter […]
My Sunday game has reached the level threshold where my PCs are starting to really get powerful (the party is currently level 9) and that means I can trot out some of the bigger, meaner threats I have waiting in the wings. In fact, I’ve already started; the PCs are […]
