Back from our break, sort of. Josh is out sick, so I'm joined by my friend and occasional legal counsel, Noah Downs. I'm in the last couple of weeks of my grad school experience, so Noah was kind enough to suggest this episode's topic, too, to give my brain a bit of a break. We're talking about the virtues, vices, and play strategies for dice-heavy…

Just where is the future of third-party content going? There's been some doomsaying about the level of support those kinds of Kickstarters are getting now compared to what they were. We take a look at some Kickstarters in the continuing analysis of the OGL fallout from last year. We also dig in a little on the philosophical differences between effo…

Josh takes a look at the new Vecna book from Wizards of the Coast. It's been hyped a bunch and is the marquee release of the year (unless you care a whole whole lot about the revised Core Rules).

It's simple this week: We play Castle of the Winds and talk about it. The game holds a special place in Josh's personal gaming history. Castle of the Winds is a PC RPG/Roguelike from the Windows 3.1 era, which is a weird time for games. We get into this in the episode but, basically, Win 3.1 was very much primarily a business application and its na…

Join the Revalia with "Heckna!" from Hit Point Press. This is a campaign setting that seems to take a little bit from Final Fantasy 6 and a little bit from Ravenloft.

The CEO of Dungeons & Dragons' parent company, Chris Cocks, gave an interview where he talked about AI and Hasbro's research and development into how to apply it to Dungeons & Dragons. It's an interesting interview (link below the jump) that more or less spells out that they're likely to use it for some kind of virtual DM - but that's still just sp…

This week, we're looking at the new (free) system-neutral TTRPG adventure that NASA wrote and released to keep everyone hyped about Hubble.

1:25:52

Good Goblin Monday, everyone. This week, we're analyzing an essay that claims we're at the end of "The Golden Age of Tabletop Roleplaying Games." As you might expect, the writer is using the 2023 OGL Crisis as the jumping-off point for their argument, so this should be coming right after our "D&D is Stronger than Ever" episode. The essay has all th…

We all get tired of D&D (or Pathfinder or Other Gaming Systems Are Available) eventually, so this week we're touching base on some cool indie games available (mostly) on itch.io.
