April 02, 2023Episode #110: The Between Pt. 1 with Jason Cordova and Merely Roleplayers
Content Warnings/Trigger Warnings: Dark themes, Murder, Spiders, Mild gore.
Show Notes
This week, Fiona is joined by the cast of the Merely Roleplayers podcast (Nat, Strat and Helen) and extra special guest GM Jason Cordova for The Between, a tabletop roleplaying game about a group of mysterious monster hunters in Victorian-era London.
Note: The audio for this episode comes from the 2 part livestream which was broadcasted on the WAIR Twitch Channel in January 2023 and it has been edited slightly to be more podcast friendly. You can check out VODs of The Between oneshot stream Jason ran for us here.
In The Between, the players take on the roles of residents of a place called Hargrave House, and their job is to investigate and neutralize monstrous threats terrorizing the city—threats that Scotland Yard won’t or can’t handle themselves.
The Between is directly inspired by the gothic horror TV show Penny Dreadful, but also takes a lot of inspiration from British horror classics, graphic novels like From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and pulp-era stories.
You can find out more information about The Between and Jason’s other work on the Gauntlet website.
Merely Roleplayers is the podcast where theatrical people play roleplaying games, in pursuit of maximum drama.
This April, Merely Roleplayers is launching Vigil: The Great Fire, the newest installment of their ongoing supernatural mystery series, powered by the Monster of the Week roleplaying game by Michael Sands. A demon of annihilating flame has been stalking the English market town of Sherrydown since the 1850s, and in The Great Fire, it finally reveals its endgame. In time, everything burns.

February 05, 2023Episode #107: Itras By with guest GM Rob - The Hunt for Edgar!
Spoilers for 'Edgar' introductory scenario by Oliver Vulliamy and 2dSF in Itras By: Menagerie
Show Notes
This week, Fiona is joined by Doro, Frank, Jon, Kat, and special GM Rob for Itras By: A surreal roleplaying game set in a city full of strange occurrences, unusual places, and bizarre characters.
Published by Vagrant Workshop, Itras By is a setting that lies somewhere between European city life in the 1920s and the dream worlds of depth psychology.
At first glance, the city looks like a backdrop in a faded photograph. A snapshot from the beginnings of modernity. Trams, hats, the first automobiles, black & white silent films. But beneath that facade, we can hear the unpredictable murmur of our collective subconscious. The monsters in the basement of our psyche.
In the city center, reality is relatively stable, but the further afield you get, the more it deteriorates, mutates, and becomes dream-like.
You can find out more information about Itras By and buy your own copy on the Itras By website.

January 22, 2023Bonus: Q&A with Fede Sohns with Zephyr: An Anarchist Roleplaying Game Of Fleeting Identities!
Show Notes
To tide us over til our next one-shot, here's a bonus episode where our host and GM Fiona interviews game designer and illustrator Fede Sohns about their upcoming RPG, 'Zephyr: An Anarchist Fantasy Game of Fleeting Identities'.
The Zephyr are the feelings of a living sentient landmass called Ophio that wanders across endless salt flats. The alien feelings come in the colours of cyan, magenta, yellow and black but can merge into hatred, love, longing - all the emotions known to us. Moreover, the Zephyr has physical form, shaping itself into mountains, rivers, plains as well as living beings.
Players play as Windfolk, creatures who live on the periphery of Ophoi, who, one day, depart from their communities to fulfill sacred obligations. They use tokens of the 4 colours to represent the composition of their characters, keeping track of their constitution, spend them as energy to overcome challenges as well as fusing them to slowly build the sentimental bonds that will shape their identities
The Kickstarter campaign for Zephyr launches 1st February and you can go check it out here!

January 08, 2023Bonus: Q&A with Ferruccio Argento with Blood and Doom!
Show Notes
To tide us over til our next one-shot, here's a bonus episode where our host and GM Fiona interviews Ferruccio Argento, the lead designer of the upcoming dark fantasy tabletop RPG - Blood and Doom (to be published by Dicetale Games).
In Blood and Doom, players take on the role of adventurers in a doomed world where the influence of malevolent cults is slowly corrupting the land and its people.
Doomsayers aka the GMs act as the player characters’ senses, describing events and presenting clues, while players interact both with each other and the characters inhabiting the fictive world of the game, and of course fight with monsters!
Blood and Doom uses a unique dice system and ruleset to resolve conflicts, allowing for a tremendous amount of suspense to be added to the stories fleshed out by the entire playing troupe, with each player’s adventurer possessing unique abilities that add to the strengths of the group as a whole.
