Terrible Warriors

The Sunstone has been recovered and the path through the mountains laid clear but outside forces march towards the caravan and a darkness growing within will threaten the safety of everyone… Spoiler warning: This episode includes content from The Promised Land adventure included in the Symbaroum core rulebook. This high up into the mountains everyone must work together to gather supplies and enough wood to keep the fire going and to stay warm. But be on your guard for beasts, and other things, which feed upon the vulnerable and not everyone is what they appear to be.

We welcome Kimberly Dewing who takes us Behind the Screen of a special game they ran for their on-going D&D gaming group.

Wanting to do something special for spooky season, Kimberly only had to look to their shelf of boardgames for inspiration. When the players arrived for their game of D&D they were instead greeted with a candlelit table and a box of Betrayal at the House on the Hill. What followed was a memorable, scary, and novel game of D&D that Kimberly and her group talk about to this day.

Two siblings and their guide set out to cross the Titan mountains to reach a new promised land. At a campfire in the caravan camp strangers meets to share their stories…

Spoiler warning: This episode follows the first chapter in The Promised Land adventure included in the Symbaroum core rulebook.

The Dark War ended twenty years ago but the land of Alberator lies in waste. Following direction from their Queen Korinthia, the survivors have migrated north of the Titan mountain range into a new land she has dubbed Ambria. There they have met the barbarian clans of the Davokar forest, which sits upon the ruins of ancient Symbaroum. And also the Elder Folk such as the elves who warn the humans that any trangressions into Davokar will be met with death as there is a darkness that sleeps in the woods that must never be allowed to be woken.

But before we can learn more about the politics and dangers of the region we must first arrive in the region. And winter is early in the mountains and the caravan drivers warn that it may already be too late to make the crossing until the spring.

We return to one of our favourite settings to create characters in the world of Eddy Webb’s Pugmire

You may recall that we played this game back in season three with our Edmonton crew but even today I still find people who have never heard of this wild game about dog people going on adventures.

Today I get to introduce the world of Pugmire to Kieran Bennet, from For Crits & Giggles, and our very own Jo Drummond and they get to introduce to their very Good Dogs!

Justin connects with Erwan Roudaut, junior producer at Six More Vodka and one of the makers behind Degenesis: Rebirth to talk about the history of Degenesis and changes they’ve made to their business model to ensure a long and lasting future for the series.

Degenesis has an almost mythic reputation among those who play it. It’s art is beautiful, it’s presentation is stunning, and it’s world fully engrossing. So how accessible is it to new players? Is now a good time to jump into the waters? And what’s it like to be the run responsible for running a game of Degenesis?

Degenesis is free to play and you can learn more by visiting degenesis.com

Justin connects with Mitch Wallace, co-founder of Penny for a Tale and one of the team leads behind Necrobiotic, which is currently in it’s final week on Kickstarter.

Necrobiotic is a macabre dystopian setting where the dead outnumber the living and in order to farm enough food to survive society turns to their corpses, reanimates them as automaton constructs, and sends them out to work.

Necrobiotic is also a tabletop RPG that chooses to use a deck of cards to generate characters and play the game, rather than traditional dice.

Mitch shares with us how his team discovered this setting and why they settled on the card deck mechanics they’ve embraced.

You still have a week left to sign up and support Necrobiotic on kickstarter by visiting: kickstarter.com/projects/pennyforatale/necrobiotic
