Pod of Blunders

Nate, Richard, Ryan, and special guest Christine play through the last six months of The Quiet Year and...boy howdy did we earn our explicit tag on this one. We also get SUPER FRIGGEN WEIRD with it, and I mean more than usual. Which is honestly impressive given our usual game steez.

Enjoy!!

Through the power of the internet, Nate sat down with longtime game designer Skeeter Green to talk about his current Kickstarter campaign, Cryptocodex. The book fuckin' slaps, and the Kickstarter is already fully funded so there's no worries there. If you want to show your support for a game designer who absolutely puts his heart into his work and snag yourself a copy of this truly bizarre and beautiful book, the Kickstarter is live until March 16th, 2021 so don't sleep on this!

And while you're at it, take a gander at Skeeter's other book "Crypt of the Science Wizard" - https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/274360/Crypt-of-the-SCIENCEWIZARD-5E (also available for MCC/DCC and Swords & Wizardry!)

Oh, and if you want to contact Skeeter, reach out to him via his Skeeter Green Productions Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/SGP-Skeeter-Green-Productions-104173171225038/?ref=page_internal

Richard and Nate reach deep into their knowledge of 1980's horror movies to create a one shot using Johnn Four's excellent 5-Room Dungeon method. Nate wanted to make a nice, simple D&D dungeon but nooOOOooo, Richard had to go and prove the method works outside its intended genre like some kind of jerk.

Check out the 5-Room Dungeon method for yourself - it's an incredible tool for the busy DM: https://www.roleplayingtips.com/5-room-dungeons/

Nate sat down with Jordan Palmer to talk about his latest hilarious game on Kickstarter, Our God is Dead. Jordan is no stranger to successful Kickstarter campaigns and his most recent effort is already fully funded. We also discuss his overall game design ethos, if "fun" is always the goal of a good RPG, as well as the absurdity of hit points. We covered a lot of ground in half an hour!

This game is currently on Kickstarter until March 9th, 2021 so don't hesitate to show your support!

Nate, Richard, Ryan, and special guest Christine spend six months aboard the colony ship The Floating Ovum as they deal with your typical Quiet Year issues - insurrection, alien incursions, cannibalism, and a hot new soft drink sweeping the colony!

Nate sat down with Peter Malmberg of Blackfisk Publishing to discuss their latest game, Blood Feud. Along with his co-author Amos Persson, Peter designed Blood Feud to explore toxic masculinity through the lens of a Viking roleplaying game.

This game is currently on Kickstarter until March 4th, 2021 so don't hesitate to show your support!
