Ye maties Rocky and Jords be puttin’ the “arr” in RPG as they take to the high seas to track down the lost treasure of pirate games.

This week we talked about roller coaster design, yam shaped adventures, and how 5E trivialises things that players indicate an interest in instead of centring them.

We also have a correction to make: in Muppet Treasure Island, Captain Smollett is played by Kermit, not Sam the Eagle (who plays Mr Arrow.) We apologise, and deeply regret the error.

If you have ideas for topics you’d like to hear us cover, drop us an email at [email protected], or slide into our DMs on Instagram, Bluesky and Mastodon.

You can also join us on Discord for a chat about the show. We’re still locking down our 2026 plans, so drop your ideas in now!
