For this special memorial game, Pookie takes the reins and runs Roy, Becky, and us through a Toon Olympics adventure in honor of our friend Bud from Buds RPG Reviews.
Along the way, we spend some time talking about Bud, revisit his review of Toon, and then do our best to prove exactly why this game may have been a terrible idea to record in the first place.
What follows is pretty much pure cartoon chaos. Bad decisions, escalating nonsense, absolutely no respect for the laws of physics, and an Olympic competition that goes about as smoothly as you’d expect once Toon gets involved.
If you would like to see Bud's hilarious review of Toon, and the video that started these wonderful friendships, you will find the link below:

After five years of podcasting together, we finally decided it was time to actually interview each other.
First up, Scott turns the microphone on Keith to find out what made Keith "Keith" and where it all went wrong. We wander from childhood games, Saturday morning cartoons, and the 1983 D&D Red Box through wargames, comics, video games, military life, editing, books, music, and Keith’s still largely inexplicable resistance to Sci-Fi TTRPGs.
Along the way, we dig into the influences that shaped his gaming tastes, how he stumbled into RPG editing, and why wargaming may have more in common with roleplaying than people give it credit for.
Basically, an investigation into Keith’s gaming DNA, questionable tastes, and personal history, with the usual abuse between co-hosts.

It's ENNIE Awards season, which means it's time for another completely unplanned, questionably informed, and highly opinionated episode of Titterpigs. We run through (most of) the 2026 nominees, make our predictions, grouse about a few categories, give some shout-outs to our favorites, and inevitably wander off on a few tangents along the way.

What does it take to build a tabletop RPG from the ground up? This episode, we're joined by Jared Twing, creator of Of Hearth and the Harrowing, to talk about his journey from an AD&D kid to a professional RPG writer and, ultimately, an independent game designer.
We discuss his years writing for Chaosium and other publishers, why he chose the BRP system as the foundation for his game, and how influences ranging from OSR sandboxes to survival games helped shape a fantasy survival horror RPG centered on exploration, community building, and carving hope from a ruined world. Along the way, we also dive into RPG layout, art direction, publishing realities, RuneQuest, Glorantha, convention life, and the many hats an indie creator has to wear once the writing is finished.
If you're interested in game design, indie publishing, or discovering a new BRP powered fantasy RPG, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

This episode, we explore the unique culture of tabletop gaming conventions. From convention archetypes and hobby tribes to etiquette, survival tips, actual play celebrity culture, and the mysteries of the elusive Industry Cryptid, we discuss what makes conventions such a memorable part of the hobby and why we keep coming back despite the exhaustion, expense, and inevitable con crud.

After teasing the infamous Burrito Blanket Incident during our ChaosiumCon recap, we're finally revealing the full story.
Join us for a tale of convention revelry, questionable late-night decisions, and consequences that proved surprisingly difficult to contain.
Featuring special guest narration by Scott Dorward, to whom we owe our sincere thanks for lending his voice and gravitas to a story that deserved neither.

The Titterpigs are back from ChaosiumCon, and we have dodged the ConCrud to bring you a full recap.
It was our first time at the con and it did not disappoint.
From impromptu panels and packed vendor halls to multi-table RPG chaos and late night nonsense, we walk through the highlights, the surprises, and the moments that made it unforgettable.
We also dig into podcasting. What works, what doesn’t, and why most of the “rules” are nonsense, joined by special guest Seth Skorkowsky.
If you’ve ever been to a con, or thought about going, this one’s for you.

The Titterpigs are joined by RPG writer and designer Jon Hook for a conversation that jumps from old-school Dungeons & Dragons nostalgia to crafting horror in Call of Cthulhu.
We talk scenario design, convention play, and Jon’s approach to building investigative horror, starting with the ending and working backward. Along the way we have thoughts on AI in RPGs, game systems like Free League Publishing, journaling games, and players who try to derail everything.
Also: comic book debates, war stories, and one very important question to start us off.
Insightful, chaotic, and a damn good time.

Part Two of this special Titterpigs / Orcusdorkus RPG Shenanigans crossover continues our roundtable discussion of Pendragon 6th Edition.
The conversation drifts from rules talk into campaign war stories from The Grey Knight, including ogre ambushes, giant fights, disastrous feasts, knights losing their minds and running off into the woods, and the very questionable consequences of partying in Faerie.
We wrap up by sharing our favorite moments from the campaign, talking about what makes Pendragon such a unique RPG, and why this decades-old game still stands out in the hobby.
Expect Arthurian heroism, terrible decisions, and at least one mysterious fae child.
