INTRODUCING: A bonus two-part series (with a full group!) to coincide with the crowdfund campaign for Galactic and Going Rogue!

Yeah yeah, I've been off the radar for a couple weeks. Life happened. A few things exploded. Some of them metaphorically, some maybe more literally (I'll let the insurance company figure it out). And let me tell you—it's hard to hit “record” on a podcast when you're busy taping the ceiling back to the roof of your life.But here we are, and guess what?It's another Monday Motivation from FWACATA, baby.This week's episode isn't clean or pretty or filtered through an inspirational quote over a misty lake. This one is duct tape and determination. This one is about being too broke to buy gesso, too tired to function, and still too stubborn to quit.Because here's the thing nobody tells you with a straight face:You have to be belligerent about your goals.Not cute. Not chill. Belligerent.You have to make art like it owes you money. You have to write like you're on a deadline that's three days past. You have to keep showing up even when the algorithm ghosted you, your bank account is playing the “let's see what overdraft feels like” game, and you've had enough of the news to want to just live in a pillow fort permanently.And yeah, that's the vibe of this episode. It's real. It's personal. It's me figuring out how to keep making comics while staring down a mountain of bills, disillusionment, and the nagging sense that the world's turning into a Dali painting made of garbage.But I'm still here.Still drawing. Still podcasting. Still putting issue four of the anthology together. Still helping out other creators when I can. Still yelling into the void—only now, it echoes back in stereo.And I'm inviting you in.Because maybe you've felt it too. That freeze. That “what's the point?” moment. That tired-of-mediocrity art show hangover. That soul itch that says, “You're supposed to be doing more than scrolling through disappointment.”If that's you? This one's for you.We talk Kickstarters. Backerkit. GoFundMe karma. Why mediocre art keeps getting hung in galleries. Why really good artists still need someone to walk up and ask, “What are you trying to say with this?”And yeah, I admit I probably need to ask myself that more, too.But in the end? This episode is a reminder that being a little crazy, a little loud, a little obsessed—might just be the only way to survive and thrive right now.

The Blasters & Blades PodcastWe've got one of my favorite panel chats for you, mostly because it was my flavor of nerdiness. Thanks to a friend of the show, Bill Fawcett, we had on an amazing panel of guests to talk about alternative history. We had on legendary authors Mercedes Lackey, Steve SM Stirling and Harry Turtledove for this fun discussion. Is there a cooler panel to gather together for this topic? I can't think of one, that's for sure! We ranged far and wide, talking about so many things. I wish we could have gone on for hours, but they had to do things like sleeping and eating.

Today The Lost Bay Podcast's guest is Adam STATION.Adam is best known for designing modern horror RPGs, with a surreal twist. Their games and modules have two unique features. First they are heavily procedural, based mostly on tables and nested tables. Second they are inspired by modern and contemporary music, to the point some of them are actually partially sampled from song lyrics and titles.Today we'll be talking about “I dont belong here”, a modern horror module for Liminal Horror, inspired by Radiohead music and that is crowdfunding on Backerkit right now.We'll also do something a bit different, we'll roll on some of Adam's wild tables!While you listen to the episode take a moment to check the backerkit page https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/stations/i-don-t-belong-here-modern-horror-inspired-by-radioheadStorewww.thelostbaystudio.comNewsletterwww..thelostbaystudio.substack.com/subscribe?Follow the The Lost Bay Podcastwww.bsky.app/profile/thelostbaystudio.comwww.instagram.com/thelostbaystudio/Produced by IkoEditing Laura ElleMusic Avery Isles

Let's get rich! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat with Games Omnivorous mastermind Andre Novoa about The Job: Boxset Edition! Now on Backerkit, this is the deluxe expanded edition of Andre's excellent 2023 heist game, inspired by flicks like The Italian Job and Ocean's Eleven. Unlike most Games Omnivorous game products, which hew towards the OSR, The Job veers into more narrative territory, drawing inspiration from games like Apocalypse World and Dread. The result is a fast-paced, light-weight storytelling game with enough mechanical tooth to satisfy OSR-type players. Grab some 6-sided dice and knock over a bank in less that three hours! * * * Instagram? Old news. Join the Vintage RPG Newsletter! That's where all the cool kids are now!

On this episode of The Weekly Scroll Podcast, we sit down for another

Send us a textWelcome to You Heard it Here Last where we talk about news, you've already heard.In 1992 I was working night shift, which meant that on my days off I stayed up all night to keep my body in sync. What did you do to help you stay up all night in the 90's…well you either drank, or watched movies.I tended to do both.But I had a buddy that worked at a movie rental place and he was always hooking me up with the new releases. That's how I got my hands on an early home video release of John Woo's “The Killer.”That started my love and deep dive into GunFu. The Hong Kong Movie Genre of hyper violent and stylistic films focused around heroic bloodshed.So, when I saw the upcoming Backerkit release of Sisterhood – A Nuns with Guns TTRPG I was hooked.https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/parable-games/sisterhood-a-ttrpg-of-hard-boiled-nuns-exorcism-evil/launch_party?ref=update010325This thing looks really cool. Mix in a bunch of Nun Horror films with Hong Kong Action, A sprinkle of Constantine, Frank Miller's Sin City, and of course John Wick, and you get Sisterhood.This game hit Backerkit on March 13th, so you should still have time to get in and pledge if it interests you. As for me, I pledged the moment I heard the title.Christina, we have similar tastes in film, but I'm not sure if you love the Hong Kong Action as much as I do, what do you think about this one?[Kick to Christina]What about you Mike, are you breaking out the rosery for Sisterhood?[Kick to Mike] Next, we have an interesting article from Mike Tresca of EN World about creators reaching their fans and as he labeled it “The Coming Social Collapse”https://www.enworld.org/threads/rpg-evolution-the-coming-social-collapse.711928/Now I have never been a fan of social media. I watched “The Social Delima” the 2020 Documentary about social media and was properly terrified. My prior job unfortunately exposed me to all the dark and horrible places on the internet, so I always go into these conversations a bit guarded. This article focuses on fan engagement and the “For You” push of social media that can be a benefit, but it can also shut you down before you get started. The article says that the key is to cultivate Direct-to-Fan sales models, focusing on Community, and when you use social media be very strategic about its use.These are all great ideas, but in my experience, they are much easier said than done.I know this is going to be something Mike and Christina have strong opinions on so lets get started, Mike, Thoughts?[Kick to Mike]Christina?[Kick to Christina]And there you have it, All the news, you've already heard.

James Introcaso is an award-winning tabletop game designer and storyteller whose work has helped shape the modern landscape of roleplaying games. As the lead game designer at MCDM Productions, James was integral to developing roleplaying systems that captivate players worldwide. His design credits include co-creating Burn Bright, Roll20's first original RPG, co-authoring seven official Dungeons & Dragons books, and leading design on Draw Steel, an upcoming RPG that raised over $4.6 million on Backerkit.James's journey into games began with a childhood love of D&D, a theater background, and a stint writing and producing for television, including Adult Swim and National Geographic. A former podcaster and blogger, he got his start in RPGs by self-publishing content on the Dungeon Masters Guild and building an audience through thoughtful commentary on 5e design. His freelance hustle and creative drive opened doors with Wizards of the Coast and later landed him a full-time role at MCDM.In this episode, James shares lessons from his creative path—from making shark-themed heavy metal promos to designing some of the most beloved TTRPG content today. We talk about how to turn passion into a profession, the realities of freelancing in gaming, and what it really means to “get lucky” in the industry.

In this episode, we work together to tell the story of how a religion changes over the centuries in… Keep the Faith! Keep the Faith is a storytelling game for 2 to 5 players about religions in transition. Each player represents a sect within a fictional religion. Players collaboratively make up the story about the religion and how it changes over five hundred years, with a focus on how the material and observable aspects of the religion reflect or contradict the religion's core values. Keep the Faith is currently on BackerKit seeking crowdfunding. If you're listening to this before March 6, 2025, follow the link below to the BackerKit page to see if you'd like to help get this game published. Keep the Faith will be published by Central Michigan University Games, an academic press that specializes in peer-reviewed board and role-playing games with educational utility.The designer of Keep the Faith is Greg Loring-Albright, and I'm excited to share highlights from an interview with Greg that I did for my other podcast, Intentional Teaching. Greg shares about his design goals for the game, the role of agency in Keep the Faith, and the challenges of designing a game about a sensitive topic like religion.Links:Support Keep the Faith's crowdfunding effort before March 6, 2025.Listen to a longer cut of my conversation with Greg Loring-Albright on the Intentional Teaching podcast.Throw a few bucks at the Intentional Teaching Patreon to hear a few more clips of my talk with Greg.Listen to Liz Davidson's conversation with Greg on her Beyond Solitaire podcast.Learn more about Greg Loring-Albright on his professional website.Order a First Player Token coffee mug.Visit the First Player Token website.Join the FPT Facebook group.Follow @firstplayertoken on Bluesky.Join the Family Tabletop Community on Discord.Music:"Open Road," "Summer in Paradise" by Purple Planet.Send us a text
