Rocks Fall!

This week we're taking a special look at Dragori Games' newest Kickstarter, Tanares! Check out the show and follow the links below for more information on what this new 5th Edition TTRPG setting has to offer!  *One slight correction I noticed upon editing the episode-the Lost Magic Researcher and Courage Domain are class options for existing 5e classes, not wholly separate classes of their own.  Dragori Games: https://dragorigames.com/ Tanares Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dragorigames/tanares-rpg Sample PDFs:  -Setting Sourcebook: http://www.dragorigames.com/sample/sourcebook.pdf  -Player's Guide: http://www.dragorigames.com/sample/guide.pdf  -Adventure in the Realms of Madness: http://www.dragorigames.com/sample/adventure.pdf  Connect with us!

Welcome back to Rocks Fall! Your home for the best creator interviews, game reviews, and RPG news! Sometimes we all get tired of run of the mill fantasy adventures that are so prevalent in the tabletop world. Luckily there are ways to break out of the norm, but a Game Master may need a little inspiration to get the concept of a different world to play in just right. I look for inspiration in a lot of the things I read, play and watch, and I think ideas present in some video games are great places to start getting ideas for themes that don’t often come up in your generic tabletop games. Today I’d like to focus in on some of my favorite role-playing video games that have inspired me to add unique flavor to my homebrew games. I really hope these help get your creative juices flowing as well! Let me know what your thoughts are on these, and I’d love to hear what other video games give you all inspiration for the tabletop games you play. Happy gaming, friends!  Links!

Welcome back to Rocks Fall! Your home for the best creator interviews, game reviews, and RPG news! You know... every so often Devon comes across a game he doesn't like (looking at you, World of Darkness), but this one may take the cake. Wrapped up in a pretty red box with decent production value lies probably the most distasteful game that still, surprisingly, holds a spot on the gaming shelf. This week, Devon reviews: DRAGONRAID Adventure Learning System: Building Warriors for Spiritual Battle!  Also, Rocks Fall was just ranked 91 on Feedspot's Top 100 Tabletop RPG Podcasts!

As a lot of people in the TTRPG world may know, Matt, AKA, The Pickled Dragon, is in need of some help due to medical issues that have recently come up. His lovely family has set up a GoFundMe to help support them through this time and I'd consider it a personal favor if you did what you could to help out, even if it is just to share the campaign. Remember, we can rebuild him!  GoFundMe Link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/f49q6m-go-fund-matt Welcome back to Rocks Fall! Your Home for the best creator interviews, game reviews, and RPG news!

Hello fellow gamers! This week we have an extra special episode where Devon sat down with a portion of the extremely talented and creative team behind Team NonZeroSum Games' Extra Life campaign.  This episode is spent getting to know a part of the team (Patrick, Fedja, and Brandon) as well as discussing publishing, DM's Guild and their new medal ranking system, How we all got in this hobby, and some broad discussion about this industry and D&D as a whole for folks who may be newer to the hobby! We played the ridiculously fun D&D one-shot called "An Ogre and His Cake" (by the very talented Christopher Walz https://twitter.com/dmchristopherw?lang=en) and afterward we had this enlightening conversation. I'm editing the audio for the play session but it may take a bit to get through it all. In the meantime, enjoy!  Like what you hear? Consider donating to Extra Life by following the links below.

Hey everyone and welcome back to Rocks Fall! Your home for the best game reviews, creator interviews, and actual play in the podcasting world! I’m your host, Devon, and this week we’re talking about Tales from the Loop-The Roleplaying Game from Free League and Modiphius Entertainment! You can find the physical book by using the first link, but it appears to be sold out at the moment. You can find the books on reseller sites but they are going for ridiculous amounts of money. I would suggest waiting until they are restocked. You can find the PDF version by following the second link. https://www.modiphius.net/products/tales-from-the-loop-rpg-rulebook https://www.modiphius.net/products/tales-from-the-loop-rpg-rulebook-pdf Would you like to hear your tabletop product or RPG reviewed?

Your home for the best creator interviews, game reviews, and actual-play in all of podcasting!  Today we have a very special interview with Russ Charles, the creator behind the Kickstarter phenomenon Animal Adventures: Tales of Dungeons and Doggies! This is a game supplement that allows RPG players to role-play their favorite doggy as a main player character alongside the humanoid classes. It comes with 12 brilliantly sculpted plastic miniatures (plus one Kickstarter exclusive) of each dog that represents one of the classes in the 5th edition game as well as an adventure and a game supplement! It is AMAZING!  Russ is a sculpting artist who has worked with Steamforged Games, Reaper, Warmachine, and has just come off of an extremely successful collaboration with the ever-popular show Critical Role. Russ is also the co-founder of the Twitch channel Painting Polygons where he and his friend Mat showcase their skills at miniature sculpting and painting!
