January 10, 2025 Episode 10: What exactly is a Session 0?
TTRPG's are complex and complicated games that have different rules and every player comes to the table with a slightly different expectation of what they're about to recieve with a night of playing.
With a Sesson 0 you're setting out to make sure everyone's on the same page but doing it in an interactive way that promotes good group cohesiveness and discussion to ensure everyone's getting exactly what they need from it!
Join DG and Finny while they have a quick chat about how a Session 0 works and why it's important!
(This is a "Behind the Screens" episode where we discuss different TTRPG topics and not specific game rulesets like normal episodes!)

December 13, 2024 Episode 8: Paranoia
Paranoia is a humorous role-playing game set in a dystopian future along the lines of Nineteen Eighty-Four, Brave New World, Logan's Run, and THX 1138; however, the tone of the game is rife with dark humor, frequently tongue-in-cheek
rather than dark and heavy. Most of the game's humor is derived from the players' (usually futile) attempts to complete their assignment while simultaneously adhering to the Computer's arbitrary, contradictory and often nonsensical security directives.
It is notable among tabletop games for being more
competitive than co-operative, with players encouraged to betray one another for their own interests, as well as for keeping a light-hearted, tongue in cheek tone despite its dystopian setting.

November 29, 2024 Episode 7: Dragonbane
Dragonbane is a classic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game full of magic, mystery, and adventure. It is designed from the ground up to facilitate fast and furious play, with very little prep time and adventures that are a breeze to run. This is a game with room for laughs at the table, while still offering brutal challenges for the adventurers. Straight out of Sweden with a focus on strategy and a dash of wargaming, what's not to love here?
