The Dapper Meeple episodes

  • PAX U 2025, New People, New Games, and New Acquisitions?

    Fresh off of our annual PAX U trip were back to talk about the stuff that really got us excited. PAX U is all grown up and the diversity of guests and vendors speaks to that big time. 

    Oh and we've got updates on the Kickstarter strike, Catan making big moves and Omin Dran being Omin Dran (Never change Jerry, Never).

    Last were continuing our dive into Daggerheart (which seems more appropriate now than ever) and we're going to show you how easy it is to make a character.

  • Episode 58: Charlie and the Homebrewed Dystopia

    We're back again and of course we brought another guest on for you. Charlie, or the Inked GM (go look it up) is a local, Professional DM that we had the pleasure of playing with in a one shot testing event. 

    We had a blast getting to talk to him; He told us all the things he loves about being a DM, we talked mental health in gaming and about his own homebrewed world which we absolutely want to play in. It was a great conversation with a great guy. Make sure you go find Charlie on his socials @inked_GM, or on his own podcast The Story Crafters on Youtube or where you find your podcasts.

    And just for a little cherry on the top we're going to hear all about his favorite character Gerrard Bhaseth in our Know Your Character segment.

    So scoot up to the table and get into the conversation.

  • Episode 56: You Get What You Pay For

    We've talked about the idea of a paid GM a few times but today we're going to talk to someone who makes his living prepping, running, and empowering others to run TTRPG games. Chris Todd runs the Rogue Game Masters out of Virginia Beach where he not only runs games, where his players happily pay for his service, but also gives other GMs the chance to do the same using his resources. 

    This has been a conversation long in the making and we're excited to have it today.
