December 27, 2020Episode #69: Slugblaster with Powered By The Players Pt. 2
Show Notes
This week, Fiona is joined by Morgan, Diana, Kristin, Maggie, and Mariam from the ‘Powered By The Players’ podcast, for ‘Slugblaster’, a table-table RPG about teenagehood, giant bugs, circuit-bent rayguns, and trying to be cool.
Designed by Mikey Hamm, ‘Slugblaster’ uses the Forged in the Dark engine, stripped-down and modified to power stuff like being stylish, circuit-bending ray guns, getting in trouble with your parents, hoverboarding away from giant meta-terrestrial insects, and fast-paced laser-fantasy action.
It’s stupid. It’s got parent groups in a panic. And it’s the coolest thing ever.
This is Slugblaster!
You can find out more information about ‘Slugblaster’ on the official website. You can also pre-order the full version here.

November 29, 2020Episode #67: Sleepaway with Merely Roleplayers Pt. 2
Content Warnings/Trigger Warnings: Loss, memory loss and grief
Show Notes
This week, Fiona is joined by Matt, Nat, Josh, and Strat from the Merely Roleplayers Podcast for ‘Sleepaway’, a game of horror, dreams, and summer camp, written by Jay Dragon.
In ‘Sleepaway’, players play as camp counsellors at a not-so-ordinary summer camp besieged by a strange and ominous cryptid known as the Lindworm. Isolated from civilization, the summer camp is seen as a beacon of safety, a refuge for misfit kids defined by their marginalization.
As counsellors of this summer camp, the players have each been traumatized by the Lindworm, in their own way. Whilst they remember little of that time, they don’t want anyone else to suffer at the hands of the Lindworm, and they’ll do anything to keep the camp safe no matter what.
You can find out more information about ‘Sleepaway’ and Jay Dragon’s other products on itch.io.
