Creation Corner: Hungry for more worldbuilding ideas? Then you're going to love our conversation with Bryan Cetroni, who is perhaps better known as Bjarke the Bard.

Creation Corner: This week we get a chance to share some time with Worldbuilder Mat, who GMs for a home group when he's not editing for his passion project, the Role Play Chat podcast (https://anchor.fm/roleplaychat). In this episode, we spend time talking about how Mat created and runs a maritime-based pirate campaign, and some fun and unique aspects this style of game introduces.

In the episode, Mat mentions several points of inspiration. One of these is the Pirate History podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-pirate-history-podcast/id1092818618), a go-to for all sorts of great ideas.

Special: This episode marks a first-of-its-kind opportunity for Stack o' Dice--we get to do a product review! After a great exchange on Twitter, we were able to arrange for a trial of the Better Backstories deck. This 88-card deck offers a rich but easy way to add randomized flavor to just about any aspect of your game. It may be geared primarily to help with coming up with multi-dimensional characters, but use it to beef up an event or a place also. Listen in now for a walkthrough of the product, to include some hands-on examples.

If you like the review, be sure to drop in and order a set on Better Backstories now (https://www.betterbackstories.com/). There are several different levels of deck to choose from, so take a look today! Also, check out the unboxing pictures on our social media sites (see below).

And now, on with the show-- we're excited to tell a story with you.

Special: Join us for a sneak peek at the rambling discourse that often accompanies our recording sessions. There are some very light spoilers at the beginning, but mostly it's travel and words of the day and show tune nerdery. We hope you like this special episode, and that it brings a smile to your face.

Creation Corner: This week we get a chance to share some time with Worldbuilder Sarah, an aspiring author of fantasy fiction. In this episode, we take on the topic of the differences between writing for a reading audience and for players in an interactive environment, and how the two not only differ, but can grow from each other.

Sarah is a busy creator and is ready to share her work with you! If you're interested in learning more, you can find her in these places:

Creation Corner: This week we get a chance to share some time with Worldbuilder Dave, the dungeon master for the Tomes of the Chaos Bard podcast.

Dave and I met through @TTRPGkids, a Twitter account that provides a list of family-friendly podcasts. If you're looking to add to your list of RPG adventure for all ages, be sure to check it out now!
