Get your D6s and Pencils out, this time around we're discussing something a little bit different but equally or perhaps even more homoerotic than our usual fare, the Tabletop RPG Armour Astir: Advent by Briar Sovereign. Because this is a ‘create your own mech' scenario, this episode is a little different format. Check out our website to see samples from the game book, or check the game book out on itch.io!

Saul was persuing the internet looking at Steam Punk RPGs and stumbled across Carbon Grey a Diesel Punk RPG by Magnetic Press. It uses a slightly tweaked version of the Classic Star Wars D6 system. Its quick and easy to understand and play. That Star Wars D6 system has always been liked for its playablity and fun. Carbon Grey is set in a alternate world where the 1st Kaiser is saved by a shepard that was struck by a meteorite which gets lodged in his chest and games super powers. The Kaiser makes him his bodyguard. That shepard's children hand super powers though not as powerful as their father. They are all female and are called the Sisters Grey. The KaIser uses the Sisters as shock troops and special forces unit and they kick ass. With the Sisters Grey the Kaiser is able to form an empire that lasts hundred years. Early in the 20th Century some countries revolt and a war ensues. This is the setting for Carbon Grey. It was based on a set of comic books which are now available as graphic novels. Also published by Magnetic Press. Age of Steel also calls itself a Diesel Punk game. Its setting is also around the 1920's in a very Earth like world called Neres. But where Mechs are utilized in much of the world. From mechs that are used to load heavy equipment to mechs made for war. It is also uses a D6 dice pool system but it is unique to this system. You get to throw as many D6s as your attribute and your skill dictates what you need to roll for a success. Seems super simple and easy to understand. As Always Thank You All for Listening.

Byron Hatfield's Public House Theatre has been a huge boon to the Chicago comedy community, and we're stoked to have a chat with Byron this week. In true nerd fashion, though, Byron lets the dice do the talking as we roll D6s to determine our topic from a list generated by Mr. Hatfield right before the show. What do we cover? Well, we can't take all the fun out of the journey, but be ready to hear about proud achievements, major frustrations, and, appropriately, a little more D&D.
It’s time to get a set of D6s ready to navigate your way through a show made up of some of our favourite new releases and reissues. The show takes its title from a splendid new release by friend of … Continue reading →
