A snippet from a previous recording session. We had a nice discussion about finding inspiration for RPGs while one of us was troubleshooting internet issues. Enjoy!

We all enjoyed our time with Aaron's game. Now we spend some time talking about what worked and what didn't so the game can get better.

The grand finale of the hyperactive thrift shop of players takes place here and now! Listen as they outsmart a cultist and a cowardly diadem, but will the dragon in the middle have something to say about this?

Our brave adventurers continue their quest to thwart Akator and return to their bodies when the cultists summon a demon and travel to a wizard's tower. Unlikely allies are made along the way. And as usual, someone gets obliterated.

Our halfling rogue friend has talked his way into a new job, maybe with some help from magical items controlling him. The plot thickens as the cult of Akator works towards his return, and the group of magical objects tries to stop them in their tracks.

Well, Jedric may have done some terrible things at the behest of the magical items, but that's no reason for them to slow down on their mission to stop Akator's resurrection ritual. Now let's get going!

Glass, Dagger, and Belt are picked up by a group of, shall we say, extremely lucky adventurers and brought out of the cave into the wide, dangerous world. How will they prevent their old master from returning? Even they don't know.

For the next mini-series on the podcast, we are going to be playtesting a game that our very own Aaron is working on. In a game of sentient magical items, we explore the ruleset and make our characters for the upcoming games.

This episode is purely rules, character creation, and setup. If you want to skip that stuff, wait until next week when we release the first episode of The Lich's Horde!

Aaron, Matt, and Trent discuss their experience with Risus. Overall it is a fantastic game built for almost anyone or anything. Listen for some homebrew ideas to make it even better.

At one point Aaron recommended a podcast that introduced him to Risus. It is hilarious, but is not for everyone. https://www.sanspantsradio.com/podcasts/dinosaur-park-the-1986-tabletop-rpg/

Dunley, Lizzie, and Scallion stay the night in Mosswood before venturing off to Thistleburrow. A river makes it difficult to get there. Will they beat the storm? Who knows.
