Head to Table

Nevada, 1876. The great dance rush is over. The vast exodus west, the promise of the freshest line-dances, and the once bountiful honky-tonk mines have all dried up. This week only two boys are made of stern enough stuff to turn the tide and mend achy breaky hearts. Join us as we design an RPG of cowboys, neckerchiefs and hoedowns.

This week the Tom team decides to explore space without a spaceship and make a game about bumming rides across the galaxy. It’s strange out there in the darkness, and with no thumbs to hitchhike, how will our alien protagonist fare? Join the boys as they use the excellent Sectors Without Number (sectorswithoutnumber.com) to inject a little bit of procedural, rogue-like fun into their tabletop RPGs.

This week the boys consider telemarketing in a high-fantasy world and create an RPG capturing all the drama of the call centre. Providing insurance for adventurers could be a noble (phone)calling, but no-one’s Lawful Good in this mire of misselling, blackmail, and unsolicited telepathic contact. Join us as we attempt to sell our way to the top!

In this episode we travel back to the nineties when teens had attitude and colour coordinated morphin’ was in vogue. Taking inspiration from Power Rangers and Voltron, we design an RPG filled with giant robots and teen angst. Under the sage guidance of Al Gore, our teens push back against the colossal consequences of climate change with only moderate collateral damage.

In this episode we take inspiration from the nightmare hellscape that is Social Media. In this anxiety-inducing, survival horror RPG, enemies abound in the form of fake-news and threats to your ego. Is there a strategy for victory, or is the only way to win not to play?

In this episode the boys get brine on the brain and consider fish: What are they? If you were to give them RPG mechanics, what would they be? Can the entire field of marine life taxonomy be bettered with a simple three stat array? Join us deep below the waves as we find out!
