Ep 165 - The Cave

Creation Corner: Hungry for more worldbuilding ideas? Joining us today is Josh Pinkerton, sometime guest DM and player on the Tales from the Glass-Guarded World podcast. In today's episode we talk about managing the precarious balance of creating new story in an existing world. Josh has done this with great skill in his appearances, and we talk about the how of it all.
During this episode:
Josh mentions a website that has inspired his past work: The Alexandrian, a site dedicated to retooling existing adventures to make them run more smoothly.
Both Josh and Rhett appear in a current release on the Tales from the Glass-Guarded World feed, in which we playtest a rules revision of the Star Frontiers system published by TSR in the 80s. Check it out for some sci fi hijinks!
To listen to Josh's notable guest DM appearance, you'll want to follow his Paxton and the Rug Buds series, which begins here. As a warning, you'll probably want to listen to the previous story in order, since these episodes build upon established events. It's well worth the listen!
If you're interested in continuing the conversation, you can send your thoughts our way on Twitter, Instagram, or through our Discord server.
Finally, we invite you to join our family friendly Discord server! Please check us out at https://discord.com/invite/sUUJp78r3E.
