The final episode of our mini playtest with Alex and Ryan.
This week we telegraph hard that our desire to explore one of the death moves, and we do deliver.
Our pilots run their newly improved mechs through their paces. The ground crews engage in some bonding. And then everything burns.
Content Warning: this episode depicts the emotionally charged death of a player character. We all were pretty moved by it, so I wanted to warn y’all that it could get emotional.

Luke is a wonderful Australian RPG Designer. They have been the inspiring force behind many great ideas in our community, and has made some really wonderful games.
We had a great time talking about their work, how they’ve inspired other designers, and why the Australian RPG maker scene is populated with such weird & interesting stuff. (more…)
Welcome to Arcus, an island city. Floating in the sea of clouds. Populated by refugees, academics, mystics, criminals, and entrepreneurs. All of them survivors of a shattered world. We join a group of scoundrels fresh out of Bedlam, looking to carve out a place for them and theirs. Hopefully we’ll see them grow into a powerful organisation, and overcome daring obstacles. We might also see them suffer. Strife from their past, their relationships, and their ambition will all test their resolve.
Should they endure, glory awaits them!
Join us, in our longest series to date. In a world of our own creation; built using The Quiet Year, and run using Blades In The Dark. This is Blades In The Dark: Arcus.
Melody Watson, and Craig Page join Ray in talking about some of the ways LARP and Table Top RPGs intersect, and differ. This was the first of a few talks like this we’ll be planning to have, so let us know what we left out. We’ll definitely try and get to it next time.
This is the first of 2 APs we recorded with the Meme Team. There was a plan to do more; but it became untenable. It’s still great content and I think you’ll all love it.
The Meme Team are a First In Gatecrashing team. The travel through the Fissure Gate to new worlds in order to see if it’s safe for others to follow. The Meme Team are part of the London Calling Collective a group of anarchists that all love first in missions. We hope you enjoy this bonkers episode.
The final part of the Jotun Moot mini campaign. We might return to these characters, but where we’ll find them is a mystery.
If you enjoyed it, let us know!
Session 1 of our Dungeon World game! And we open with so many good jokes! There is a small amount of background noise in this episode, but nothing to loud or persistent.
But enjoy the Adventures of Gib and Claviovarsus! Two Adventurers thrust together by the chaos of fate.
Melody is an awesome making of things. We know here from her work making RPGs, and the discussions she often has about them on twitter.
We asked her on the show to share a little about her process, and her games. (more…)
Ben is a Maltese-Australian game designer with a background in video game design; but he also makes RPGs. We had him on to talk about his history, his process, and some of his games. It was a blast and we can’t wait to play Ben’s stuff.
If you’d like to see more from Ben, he’s provided us with a list of links!
The finale of our adventures in Monsterhearts, for a little while at least.
We had a discussion about our feelings on the game at the end of the episode rather than write up reflections; cause this was a short campaign.
No new episode of the podcast on the 28th, as we will be on vacation.
