Send us a textWelcome to You Heard it Here Last, where we talk about news, you've already heard.We start this week off with an article from EN World about Daggerheart and Darrington Press.https://www.enworld.org/threads/daggerheart-sold-out-in-two-weeks-has-three-year-plan-in-place.716975/The article reports that the first printing of Daggerheart was planned to last a year. Instead, it sold out in 2 weeks. But don't fear, the article goes on to say that Darrington Press has a 3-year plan in place for Daggerheart, Yipee!The article is based on another article by Business Insider that highlights Ed Lopez and Ben Van Der Fluit the COO and Senior Vice President of Business and Content Development respectively. Now I am an avowed capitalist, unlike my co-hosts, but even I get annoyed with the little games designed to separate a fool and his money. I mean you can't even read the original article at Business Insider unless you pay them money. If any of you are buying this crap, then shame on you. Darrington Press is simply a WOTC and Hasbro wannabe that are adapting the same bullshit that we have seen from those companies, I mean they even hired the people that come up with the bullshit to begin with. You mean to tell me that professionals in a business behind the most successful actual play show in the history of actual play shows screwed up their product ordering by 96%. I mean not even weathermen and the airlines are that bad. On top of it, if you tried to pick up the game at GenCon then you saw their business idea first hand. Small windows where the product was available everyday to create artificial scarcity and only provide the most expensive version of the game. I mean you couldn't even buy just the basic rulebook. You had to get the entire starter set, which was of course…more expensive. But anyway, that's my opinion. For our next bit of information, we are diving into a specific release.https://www.enworld.org/threads/rpg-print-news-%E2%80%93-traveller-d-d-mothership-and-more.717021/https://www.nobleknight.com/P/2148379689/Omendrome?awid=1086Omendrome by Alewood Games is a brand-new softcover adventure for Mothership using the ARKYVR supplement. Now I have heard a ton about Mothership, but I haven't read any of it. Lots of word of mouth and lots of love, but it just hasn't crossed my path and this is the first time I have heard anything about the ARKYVR supplement. Mothership is a Sci-Fi Horror Game that lets you play out all your Aliens and Space Hulk adventures. ARKYVR is a system that builds on that putting the characters behind the lens so to speak and letting them “Film” the action and choose the direction of the stories. All of that sounds amazing. The Omendrome adventure set puts the player character in the driver's seat of a pirate TV station that films and shows all of the horrors of space. Are those horrors real or just made up for the TV, well the players and characters get to decide that. I love the TV aspect of horror. My favorite Call of Cthulhu games are set in the modern era with the players taking on rolls of TV employees. And one of my favorite cult horror films is Videodrome which clearly Omendrome drew heavily from when they wrote the adventure. So Mothership, ARKYVR and Omendrome just hit my buy list for 2026.
Today I'll share the top 10 most-played tabletop RPGs right now. There are some surprises in this list, at least to me. I'll also begin my series of episodes exploring the new RPG, Daggerheart, by talking a bit about what I like about it and why I'm excited to run it. I'll compare and contrast DH with D&D, Pathfinder, and Numenera. Some of the aspects of Daggerheart I'll touch on in this episode include the basic mechanics, campaign frames, and how the game encourages collaborative storytelling by having the players contribute to detailing the setting, NPCs, etc. during play. I'll also talk a bit about how Darrington Press has made every effort to reduce math in the game and cognitive load on the GM and the players.Play Daggerheart with Me on Start Playing Games.Subscribe via RSS, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.Check out my sci-fi novel, Critical Balance.Have you read Critical Balance?

Happy New Year! We return with an in-depth creator chat between Russ, Kyle and two of the voices behind The Adventures of Bud and Herb Evan Bivins and Anna "Fitz" Fitzgerald. In this nearly hour long conversation we walk through each other's process, what we have found rewarding about actual play podcasting and SO MUCH MORE! We had an absolute blast speaking with them and look forward to more collaborations to come. After the chat you'll hear an episode of The Adventures of Bud and Herb - Out in the KoldhørnThe Adventures of Bud & Herb is a hybrid show — half polished audio fiction, half actual play — but all one big unfolding story. If you've ever wished a TTRPG podcast felt like a TV show in your ears, this is it. The first half of the season is scripted, the second half is played in a game of Daggerheart by Darrington Press. No one, including the creators, know how the season will end.
