Hello and welcome back to All Bark No Dice! This episode we have a talk with designer Nevyn Holmes, one half of the brain trust behind Dinoberry Press. We chat about their newest game Little Wolves, their approach to game design, and how masks can be used to help with roleplay!
Little Wolves On Backerkit
Little Wolves is a tabletop role-playing game of folktales, werewolves, and fae queens. In it, 3 or more players don the masks and fur of young-at-heart shapeshifters exploring a forest filled with magic and mystery.
As they complete quests and favors for their queens and the denizens of their courts, the wolves grow and players decorate masks to reflect the lessons they learn, experiences they share, and stories they create together.

We're back! It's been a long winter but it's time for a big return! To kick things off, I had a chat with Deej Storer aka DnDeej about his time in the DM's chair, the growth of The Free Forge Community, and what it takes to keep a successful liveplay D&D stream going. Plus he gives me some background on Stay Alive, Free Forge's Survival Horror Twitch Actual Play, and a little peek at what might be in store in the next season.
(Apologies for sound, I was having some tech problems)

This week I talk to Dylan Greene from Silver Lantern Games about his upcoming project Cloudrunner: Fate of the Skies, an original steampunk RPG using the FATE system. Starting out as an idea for a novel, Cloudrunner has been a longtime project for Dylan and it all comes to fruition this August on Kickstarter!

This week Dan has a chat with Oli Jeffries from Sinister Beard Games, publisher of games like Quietus and Night Rain. He gives the skinny on his newest game Extreme Meatpunks Forever, an adaptation of the hit itch.io game made in conjunction with the original's creator! Topics of discussion include the weird posthumous appeal of D&D 4e, the value of politics in tabletop games, and why punching nazis is still so satisfying.

In this episode, Dan talks to indie RPG designer Jay Dragon, who won an Ennie for Sleepaway and who's most recent release Wanderhome is currently taking the world of tabletop by storm with its charming setting and very different approach to tabletop storytelling.
We discuss how Jay got into RPG's, the queering of the tabletop space, and the magical power of itch.io. Then, we dig into Wanderhome to figure out what about it resonated so well with us during quarantine.

Dan has a chat with Tony Miller, one half of New Mill Industries and the brains behind games like Fire In The Library, Kabuto Sumo, and New Mill's newest game currently on Kickstarter: Rivet Heads.

In the final episode of our Candlekeep Mysteries series, Dan talks with Toni Winslow-Brill, a supermom and sometimes half-dragon who also contributed "Xanthoria" to the new book, a dark and horrifying story of a power mad druid and her quest for lichdom. We discuss how she approaches storytelling in her writing, the editorial process in publishing, and whether D&D will get teenagers to think you're cool.

This week I sit down with Graeme Barber aka POCGamer to discuss "The Book of Cylinders," his adventure in D&D's book Candlekeep Mysteries, as well as the rather complex relationship he's had with D&D since Fifth Edition launched. Plus, we delve into the colonialist aspects of the game and hash out how we might go about de-colonizing out game tables.

This week we're talking with another contributor to Candlekeep Mysteries, Jen Kretchmer, who is perhaps best known for her work on shows like Monsters & Fables, Silver & Steel, as well as her advocacy for accessibility in the tabletop hobby. We have a very frank discussion about the need for disability advocacy in D&D and other games, as well as the ways that players and DM's can help make their games more representative and understanding. Jen also gets into some of her inspirations as a storyteller and explains why tabletop streaming seems to have found a home in the entertainment industry.
