Leave us a review, and I'll read your review aloud!

Chuck, Vincent and Paul chat about how to create encounters from nothing but a few monsters. We discuss what makes a good encounter, how to create interesting situations for players to navigate, and each propose one encounter from a set of monsters. If you've ever wanted to run a game but felt combat and encounters were strange and hard to prepare, this is the episode for you!

Hel'mith / Greyling / Dialect / Word Episode

This week, Claire plays the Traitor card, and we find the word the Greyling uses for those whose "act of selfishness stuns us all."Claire gets to flex some French curses, Chuck floats an obscure documentary, Vincent pontificates on how words become swears, and the team makes a startling discovery about how far the Greymates are willing to go to keep Hel'mith a secret.

For more discussion on that shocking discovery, check out our patreon: patreon.com/lapropo for an additional 20 minutes of ruminations and worrying--we certainly were hulling about it.

How do I start playing a TTRPG? This is how!

This week we are joined by Christian Young, a Phoenixville gamemaster, referee, and brain behind a community table top night. Christian and Paul chat about what got Christian into playing TTRPGs, where he draws inspiration, how he’s grown over the years, and he shares all his secrets about how to build adventures, make them exciting, and develop player engagement.

Hel'mith / Dialect / Word Episode

This week, we find a word to describe those who are feeling Oggy's curse... and learn something huge about it in the process. Facio approaches Oggy with treats, and Oggy comes clean.

Another duo-word-episode! This week we make the word the Greyling uses for ‘wonderful’ and create an antonym for the first age word “misted.” Chuck gets to wax poetic about sailor’s heaven, Claire ruminates on what freedom feels like, and Facio’s soups are still wonderful. Claire plays the antonym card, and has some banger lines about what the opposite of death is.

We continue creating the world the Greyling sails through by creating its words. This week, Claire plays the Technology card to create a vital tool we use in the isolation. Chuck gets to flex his extensive knowledge of IFAKs, EPIRBs, and boat safety (and read a spell) and we discover an unsettling trend aboard our ship.... 

Dialect / Hel'mith / Word Episodes

A duo-word-isode! As the Ferriers sail across old Atlentar, we continue to create the world they find through their words. This week Chuck plays the "New Source" card (members of the isolation hear one of their words being used from an outside source) and Paul plays the "Unit of Time" card.
