Peter is deep into training for the Athens Marathon, complete with brutal hills, aching joints, and some surprisingly fast downhill running. Adam and Peter then shift gears into tech and trading—debating Mac upgrades, complaining about Trader Workstation, experimenting with Python automation, and digging into what really happens when you “roll” an options trade. Then things get nerdier. Peter introduces Adam to Monster of the Week, Dungeon World, and the idea of turning an RPG session into something straight out of The X-Files. Along the way there are defective AirPods, questionable running belts, outdated podcast websites, affiliate-link riches, and a phone number at the bottom of the website that longtime music fans might recognize. Running. Trading. Technology. Monsters. Somehow it all fits together on Blurring the Lines.

Worldbuilding Colaborativo: Cómo Construir Mundos con tu Mesa y No para tu Mesa En el episodio 186 de Level Up, Nacho G., Rodri y Nacho Abal (Oxtan)abren un melón que muchos Directores de Juego esquivan: ¿qué pasa cuando el worldbuilding deja de ser un acto solitario y se convierte en un proceso compartido? La respuesta, según ellos, es clara: se realiza la magia. Pero también suceden errores, dudas, bloqueos junto a momentos de brillantez colectiva. Este episodio desmonta la idea clásica del Master omnipotente y propone un enfoque más moderno, más sano y, sobre todo, más divertido: crear el mundo entre todos. Por qué compartir la construcción del mundo funciona Cuando un jugador aporta una facción, un PNJ o un conflicto, no solo está decorando el escenario: está invirtiendo emocionalmente en él. Ese detalle que inventó —una hermandad de asesinos, un barrio flotante, un dios menor del fracaso— se convierte en algo que quiere ver en juego. Y cuando aparece, su implicación se dispara. Rodri lo resume con precisión: si nos gusta que respeten las decisiones de nuestro personaje, también queremos que respeten las piezas del mundo que hemos creado. La “semilla”: el punto de partida que evita el caos El worldbuilding colaborativo no significa improvisar sin rumbo. De hecho, empezar desde cero suele llevar a mundos incoherentes, tonos dispares y partidas que no saben qué quieren ser. Por eso, el Master debe aportar una semilla inicial: una ambientación clara un tono un marco de reglas o incluso un mashup atrevido (Cyberpunk con D&D, por ejemplo). Esa semilla no es una jaula: es un punto de apoyo para que la creatividad del grupo tenga dirección. Guía definitiva de la creación de mundos de rol Cómo construir juntos sin perder coherencia Nacho Abal propone un enfoque práctico: empezar por los personajes. Sus orígenes, sus culturas, sus contradicciones. A partir de ahí, el mundo crece de forma orgánica y alineada con lo que el grupo quiere jugar. Para evitar la dispersión, funcionan muy bien las preguntas guía: ¿Qué nivel de magia existe? ¿Qué tecnología domina? ¿Qué facciones compiten por el poder? ¿Qué amenaza común une a los personajes? Juegos como Dungeon World, Fábula Última o Balada triste de ciudad ya incorporan estas estructuras, y son oro puro para mesas que quieren crear juntas sin perderse en el vacío. La autoridad del Master: firme, pero no invasiva El Master sigue teniendo un rol clave: coordina, da forma, introduce giros, y protege la coherencia. Pero hay una regla sagrada: lo creado entre todos no se toca. Puedes sorprender, puedes retorcer, puedes revelar… pero no puedes contradecir lo que el grupo ha establecido como canon. Los errores más comunes (y cómo evitarlos) 1. Bloquear ideas Si una propuesta encaja en el tono y la coherencia, se acepta. Punto. 2. Centralizar la creatividad El Master no es el único artista de la mesa. Es quien dirige la orquesta. 3. Cerrar demasiado pronto Las mejores campañas nacen de pinceladas evocadoras, no de enciclopedias. 4. No dejar huecos Los espacios en blanco son oportunidades de descubrimiento para todos, incluido el propio Master. Herramientas que potencian la colaboración Cuestionarios iniciales para alinear expectativas. Documentación compartida para registrar facciones, nombres y acuerdos. Técnica del “sí, y además…” para construir sobre lo que propone otro. Marcos de juego que evitan el bloqueo creativo. Espacios vacíos en mapas e historia para explorar durante la campaña. Un homenaje necesario El episodio dedica un momento a recordar a Carlos Jiménez (Sepuku), autor de Enemigos Íntimos, cuya aproximación a las preguntas estructuradas ha influido profundamente en cómo entendemos la creación compartida en el rol. Su legado sigue vivo en cada mesa que decide construir mundos juntos. Conclusión: crear juntos es jugar mejor El worldbuilding colaborativo no es una moda: es una forma de reforzar el compromiso, la cohesión y la emoción en la mesa. Cuando todos aportan, todos sienten que el mundo les pertenece. Y cuando el mundo pertenece a todos, la historia se vuelve inolvidable. Acciones recomendadas Explora manuales como la Guía definitiva de la creación de mundos de James D’Amato, Dungeon World, Fábula Última y Balada triste de ciudad para inspirarte. Define el marco inicial antes de la primera sesión. Documenta los acuerdos para evitar contradicciones. Practica el “sí, y además…” en cada aportación. Esperamos que os guste!

What if I told you your tabletop RPG doesn't need skills… or stats… or even weapon proficiencies? Today we commit a little RPG heresy—and ungovern the cylinder. The Jaunty Mantis returns with another episode of chaotic brilliance, high-level RPG design debate, and extremely questionable metaphors. Today, Jesse and Matty tackle a deceptively simple question: Do tabletop RPGs actually need their core features? Ability scores, skill systems, weapon proficiencies—are they essential, or are they just D&D legacy baggage we keep carrying around? Along the way we detour into Rifts (of course), Pendragon, Cypher System, Dungeon World, and a whole lot of “players will self-regulate anyway,” plus Cad Bane impressions, Star Wars hot takes, and an alarming amount of content centered around “ungoverning the cylinder.” If you're a curious gamer, game designer, TTRPG theorist, or someone who just likes watching nerds lovingly complain about Palladium Books, you're in the right place. Send us your questions at jauntymantis@gmail.com Like, subscribe, and forcibly ungovern your cylinder responsibly.

The Second Breakfast Club goes toe to toe with Magnus Devlin. Jellorag makes an appearance, but Bill and Adira's intelligence does not. Uorag gets socked and doesn't feel so good.

After some valuable information, it's time for a cliffhanger.  Support us on Patreon at www.patreon.com/CreativeTypo and get additional content at www.afoolsquest.com Cast: Mike Cole = Uorag - Druid Furbolg Shifter. Tony Kinney = Eddie Falzone - Human Wizard. Jess Owen = Adira - Fire Genasi Barbarian. Jesse Wicks = Bill Quiverlance - Human Bard. Nico Rodriguez as your DM. If you would like to follow along with our map, you can find it on our social media pages: www.Facebook.com/afoolsquest /  www.Instagram.com/afoolsquestpodcast Special thank you to our Patreon Executive Producers: Nick Mead and Patrick T ArsenaultDungeon World: https://dungeon-world.com/ Music: Music Provided in part by Midnight Syndicate. www.MidnightSyndicate.com Additional music provided by Algal the Bard. www.youtube.com/user/alvariu and Epidemic Sound

On his show Joe talks about a range of stuff from OSR gameplay ideas through to newer (?) games like Fudge and Dungeon World.Joe's renowned for his honesty in RPG reviews and it's that which triggered an invitation to the show.

The Fools confront the Governor, but no, they don't. Next, they raid the kitchen and then head to the library, where they find the punniest calendar and a secret. As they continue, they find and confront the Governor, and yes, they do. Then, after some rest, the Second Breakfast Club sets out on a perilous journey sans food.Support us on Patreon at www.patreon.com/CreativeTypo and get additional content at www.afoolsquest.com Cast: Mike Cole = Uorag - Druid Furbolg Shifter. Tony Kinney = Eddie Falzone - Human Wizard. Jess Owen = Adira - Fire Genasi Barbarian. Jesse Wicks = Bill Quiverlance - Human Bard. Nico Rodriguez as your DM. If you would like to follow along with our map, you can find it on our social media pages: www.Facebook.com/afoolsquest /  www.Instagram.com/afoolsquestpodcast Special thank you to our Patreon Executive Producers: Nick Mead and Patrick T ArsenaultDungeon World: https://dungeon-world.com/ Music: Music Provided in part by Midnight Syndicate. www.MidnightSyndicate.com Additional music provided by Algal the Bard. www.youtube.com/user/alvariu and Epidemic Sound

The Second Breakfast Club finds themselves in the Evocation nation—in a not so ideal fashion. In true illusionist form, Eddie makes a scene. The Evokers are kind enough to heal the group, though the healing seems suspect. After getting some pushback from the governor, the Fools settle in at the tavern to collect information and propagandize. After getting an interesting tip on Alayna the group sends Weaslerag to investigate. Support us on Patreon at www.patreon.com/CreativeTypo and get additional content at www.afoolsquest.com Cast: Mike Cole = Uorag - Druid Furbolg Shifter. Tony Kinney = Eddie Falzone - Human Wizard. Jess Owen = Adira - Fire Genasi Barbarian. Jesse Wicks = Bill Quiverlance - Human Bard. Nico Rodriguez as your DM. If you would like to follow along with our map, you can find it on our social media pages: www.Facebook.com/afoolsquest /  www.Instagram.com/afoolsquestpodcast Special thank you to our Patreon Executive Producers: Nick Mead and Patrick T ArsenaultDungeon World: https://dungeon-world.com/ Music: Music Provided in part by Midnight Syndicate. www.MidnightSyndicate.com Additional music provided by Algal the Bard. www.youtube.com/user/alvariu and Epidemic Sound

Life sure keeps changing, eh? Here's our latest scheduling update. TL;DR: Ned's life is getting busier, so we'll be switching from releasing weekly to releasing every other week for the foreseeable future. No changes will be made to the Patreon reward offerings. Starting sometime this spring, two new longform campaigns will be releasing! Here on the public feed, we'll be reviving The Tension Builders using the Bump in the Dark system, which reimagines the classic Monster of the Week RPG using the Forged in the Dark framework. And on the Patreon feed, the cast will be hearkening back to our home gaming roots with a Dungeon World campaign centered around themes of Vikings and Norse Mythology. Thanks for coming along for the ride, everybody!
