What Am I Rolling? episodes

October 16, 2022 Bonus: Q&A with Tomas Härenstam and Drakar och Demoner / Dragonbane
To tide us over til our next one-shot, here's a bonus episode where our host and GM Fiona interviews interviewing the co-founder and CEO of Free League Publishing, Tomas Härenstam, about the upcoming ‘Dragonbane’ RPG, a reimagining of the influential ‘Drakar och Demoner’.
‘Drakar och Demoner’ is Scandinavia's first and biggest tabletop RPG, originally launched in 1982. Now, 40 years later, Free League Publishing has announced a brand new and reimagined edition, with one foot firmly planted in the heritage of decades of Swedish gaming and the other in the modern and innovative game design for which Free League Publishing is known worldwide.Moreover, Drakar och Demoner will be made available to an international audience, under the English title ‘Dragonbane’.
‘Dragonbane’ is described as a classic fantasy RPG full of magic, mystery, and adventure. This new edition is designed from the ground up to facilitate fast and furious play, with very little prep time and adventures that are a breeze to run. Though a toolbox allowing GMs to tell fantasy stories of all kinds, Dragonbane is a game with room for laughs at the table and even a pinch of silliness at times.
Though the Kickstarter campaign for ‘Dragonbane’ is over for the time being (and the release date for the core book is scheduled for August 2023), you can still access the quickstart PDF, including the complete introductory adventure Riddermound, and five pre-generated characters to play!

July 24, 2022Bonus: Q&A with Chris McDowall & Johan Nohr with Into The Odd Remastered!
Show Notes
To tide us over til our next one-shot, here's a bonus episode where our host and GM Fiona interviews game designers Chris McDowall and Johan Nohr about the upcoming remastered release of ‘Into The Odd’, a rules-light, flavour-heavy roleplaying game of industrial horror and cosmic strangeness.
Bastion is the only city that matters. In its industrial age, it sits as the smoke-shrouded hub of mankind, surrounded by a world of lurking horrors and cosmic interference. The Underground spreads beneath the people’s feet and the stars loom above.
In ‘Into The Odd’, players take on the roles of explorers braving places too far for maps and too old for records. Their expeditions touch the bizarre, the wondrous, and the horrific. Explorers search for riches, but also Arcana, mysterious devices with unnatural powers.
This remastered version revisits Industrial Bastionland, giving the original ‘Into the Odd’ a lavish hardback, full-colour restoration with expanded content.
You can find out more about ‘Into the Odd’ and preorder your own copy from Free League Publishing.
