  • 017: First Anniversary Character Creation Celebration with Elisabeth

    After a year of RPGBP we are entering season two! I brought back Elisabeth to have a little fun creating characters in a mashup system of all different systems we talked about over the past season. We came up with a couple of "people" who just want to return home but have to contend with a force that threatens to become unstoppable.

    Check out the twitter for the completed character profiles.

  • 016: Paired Characters with Sandeep

    This episode is another with Sandeep, in which we talk about the act of collaborative character creation. We discuss how we created twin characters for our new D&D 5e campaign and how other games like PbtA games bake that process into mechanics.

  • 015: How Does Setting Affect Your Game? with Gerardo

    In this episode, we use Star Crossed by Alex Roberts to explore how the setting can affect and change how the same game is played. We take four different genres and blend them in to create some unexpected couples in a romance game.

  • 014: Character Transfers

    It's a shorter than usual episode! I had some technical difficulties so I decided to talk about an idea I had. To get more time spent with the characters I've created, I remake some existing characters in different systems to show the portability of a character concept.

  • 012: Franchise Flavour - Final Fantasy (X/X-2) with Nicole - Part 1

    In this episode, Nicole and I come up with some ideas about how to take the wonderful world of Spira from Final Fantasy X and X-2 and bring that into Dungeons and Dragons 5e. Part 1 is all about taking Yuna's summoning and implementing it in a way you may not expect!

  • 011: Solo Game Spotlight - See Issue X ft. Marvel Super Heroes

    All by myself! When you don't have anyone else around, like me in this episode, it doesn't mean you can't play a TTRPG. Just play a game meant for one! Sounds weird? Wait until you listen to how I mixed a game from the 80s and one that is still in development.
