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 […]
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 […]
With Grant and Jenny back from their respective ordeals, it’s time to continue our alignment series! We start off with a quick catch-up session (thanks again Ashley and Derek for filling in!) but there’s not a lot of note in our lives since the last episode we were on together […]
In this episode, we welcome back Kimi from Golden Lasso Games to talk about pre-game tools. We last spoke to Kimi in our mammoth two-parter on fitness back in episode 103 part 1 and part 2, and this time she’s here alone rather than part of what was (at the […]

First, though, we answer a Patreon question from Douglas Underhill, who asks us “If you statted yourself as a 5E character, how would you allocate the default […]
(Update: The Ross Rifles Kickstarter is live right now! If the game interests you—and it certainly interested us!—be sure to back it and help support this excellent project.)

Our Ten Commandments series finally wraps up this episode, and we end it on a high note! (Yes, even despite the episode going up almost a day late.) We’ve got a bit of a preview of an upcoming discussion to start with, as Grant’s kicking off a game of Offworlders. […]
