I think the title should do the trick. And here's the link to join our Discord.

Hither came a discussion of formal downtime systems, a thing not often found in RPGs; and in detail we chronicle the exploits of the Carousing system in Modiphius' Conan RPG.

Continue the discussion on our Discord right here.

And if you're interested in a one-page cheat sheet for Carousing, you can download it here.

Virtually all RPGs have systems by which "experience" is gained and spent, and, beneath the hood, they're almost all the same, offering only variations on the same theme. We discuss this aspect of gaming, and offer some ideas about how to approach the issue differently.

Our discussion about and survey of the system and setting for Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, and our thoughts on what sorts of stories you could run with it. We also discuss how the mechanics of this game are different from more recent Modiphius products...and yet, appropriate to Conan.

Check out Modiphius' two free Conan quickstarts here.

What's the optimal party size? How have party size expectations, rules, and norms changed over time? We discuss this and offer some ideas about managing big and small parties.

Infinity, based off a miniatures skirmish game, debuted in 2017 as a result of a Kickstarter. Very much on the crunchy end of the system spectrum, it overlaps mechanically a great deal with both Conan and Mutant Chronicles in its presentation of a transhuman/cyberpunk future. You can read Chris's actual play summaries, which we mentioned in the episode, here, and see the full line of Modiphius products here.

Or airplane rides, or trains, or whatever...this is Chris's hack of pieces and parts of various systems to use as a simple ruleset for roadtrips with his family. You can look at the rough draft of the rules here.

An overview of the setting, system particulars, and our take on story ideas for the grand daddy of 2d20 games, the Diesel Punk Mutant Chronicles. And if you want to pick up the massive MC PDF bundle (from which we get zero kickbacks), check it out here.

This is the permanent Discord link (and so is this: https://discord.gg/5AtydRUDjX). Join us at our troll-free server where we discuss the sorts of things we talk about on the show, trade ideas, and don't give in to the darker impulses of social media and Internet relations.
