Troy joins Rene to talk about something appropriately self-reflective - Why Players Have a "Type" and the usefulness of Tropes in RPGs. Troy has always been an incredibly hard worker, pushing his body and mind to their limits, and has recently gone back to school for more Psychology, so this kind of deep thinking about why we play what we play is something that he is clearly passionate about. Hopefully you enjoy what you hear, and hopefully it makes you think about your own type or style. Comment or email with what you think your "Type" of PC is, we'd love to hear from you!

Surprise! With a new year, a new podcast feed, and a new series starting up, we figured why not keep with the new things happening and drop a preview of Rene's new game One Last Quest, a one page RPG that allows you to bring back some of your favorite PCs of campaigns past and play them in their elderly retired years. However, a loose thread or problem arises that forces them to put down the shuffleboard and dust off the old heroics one more time. It's a hack 'n' mash of the popular rules lite RPG Lasers & Feelings by the incredible John Harper (Blades in the Dark, Agon) with a sprinkling of some All Outta Bubblegum by Michael Sullivan & Jeffrey Grant. Hopefully you enjoy and you give it a shot with your group, reliving some of your favorite characters from over the years.

Hey all, the holidays are a crazy time and I (Rene) have been diligently working on editing lots of new stuff for you all, both on this main feed and my brand new DMs off-shoot podcast called Rene Plays Games! We'll still be releasing a podcast every Friday on this feed, but if you can't get enough of our nerdy RPG content, give my new feed a follow, like, rating, etc., and you'll have more Playing With Myself solo RPG actual play series, short campaigns with friends new and old, a new take on the old Modified Rolls style (now called Perspective Checks), and more! It'll be releasing episodes every Tuesday so you'll have great DMs content multiple times a week! Keep posted to subscribe on your favorite podcatcher of choice (hopefully on all by early January) Game on, and happy new year from the DMs After Dark!
Happy Holidays to you crazy folks out there in podcastland! Welcome to another annual DMs After Dark Holiday One-Shot, always good for some seasonal shenanigans! This year we're playing Thursday by Eli Seitz, a Russian Doll inspired time loop game in the Belonging Outside Belonging family of RPGs. Despite this very clear source material, we decided to use it to play a Hallmark Holiday Time Loop one-shot, where the PCs are members of a rural town caught in a repeating day leading up to Christmas, where only true love will break the loop (or something appropriately cheesy like that). If there's one thing you take from this episode, it's to find your bean tree. If you want to look really cool, consider buying your very own DMsAfterDark T-shirt!

It's back and it's just as chaotic as ever, Sara's 1d6 | 1d4 talk show starts to bring our 2023 to a close with a quick chat with the most guests that have ever been on our bonus series before! We talk about the things we loved about this absolutely crazy year we had and Sara quizzes us on how much we know about what we even did this year! It goes without saying, but none of this would be possible without you all out there listening (even you, 1 person in Wyoming), and it means the world to us that you spend some time each week listening to our nerdy asses play roleplaying games. We hope we've inspired you in your games, shown you some you might not have known about, or just entertained you during some downtime. Never hesitate to reach out to us via email, on social media, or anything, we love hearing from you, what we do that you like, what we could do better, what you want to hear more or less of, you name it.

For Halloween 2023, the DMs return to our original summer camp horror game, this time led by Christian. Our characters are counselors at an *awful* re-education camp which is presently staffed by a skeleton crew following a horrible event which appears to have awakened something on the grounds that was best left undisturbed... Content Warnings: Mention of suicide, drowning, burning, pretty much child abuse, sharting, awful baking advice (then good baking advice), and weird scripture quoting If you want to look really cool, consider buying your very own DMsAfterDark T-shirt!
