Greetings my friends. Spring has sprung in Atlanta. Everything is covered in the yellowish glow of pollen. Fortunately, I've doubled up on allergy meds this year. It seems to have helped. I haven't lost my voice once this season, knock on wood. Even after a 4 hour show at the Wings Cafe & Tap House on St Patrick's Day. I call that a HUGE win. In the meantime, I've got a little challenge for you. It's simple, it's soulful, and it's rooted in the music we love. It's called the Celtic Spring Challenge, and it's happening all through the month of April. Here's how it works:

It's that time of year again! Welcome to the first annual Girlscamp General Conference, where we reflect on the craziest and most problematic moments from General Conferences past. If you don't come for all the terrible Russell M. Nelson quotes, at least stay for David A. Bednar's pickle analogy. You can listen to the whole episode on the Girlscamp: After Dark Patreon here.

Episode Summary In this episode, the RPGBOT hosts take a deep dive into the origin, design, and legacy of the Pokémon Jr. Adventure Game—a tabletop role-playing game released at the height of the Pokémon craze. Despite achieving strong initial sales, the game was ultimately considered a failure by its creators due to issues surrounding pricing, marketing strategy, and corporate oversight. The discussion navigates through the creative process behind the game, its design for a young audience, and how it served as many players' first introduction to TTRPGs. The episode also reflects on broader topics such as missed opportunities in the tabletop space, the tension between business decisions and creative intent, and what lessons developers and publishers can learn today.

High sales numbers can mask deeper structural and strategic failures. Overestimation of demand and poor pricing strategies led to the game's early demise.

Hey Now Cabalists! In this month's Secret Cabal Express, Don and Jamie discuss the Three Bears of board gaming. Everybody knows the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears and how everything in that house was either too big or too small or too hot or too cold... Well, Don and Jamie talk about some of the board games they love that have one weird little flaw. Maybe they're too complex, or too fancy, or maybe just a little too short. And then talk about some that are just right!

The gravity of Changeling: the Lost's first edition corebook is slowly pulling us in... but before we get there, let's make a few stops along the way. Two whole months before the game was officially released at GenCon 2007, there were a number of introductory and ancillary materials that helped drive up interest. This includes the Demo rules summary and quickstart adventure, "Dwelling in Darkness", featured in previews on the White Wolf website, as well as the usual swag: Storyteller's screen, character sheet pad, fancy dice. While we're focusing mostly on the first one today, the others helped to set the aesthetic of the game that was about to launch, If you're looking to dip your toes into 1e, then the quickstart may be just the thing for you, before the headlong plunge. Listen along as we try our best to give comprehensive and spoiler-free summaries of what is found therein! Naturally, things are available on the Storytellers' Vault, namely https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/28293?affiliate_id=3063731 for the Demo, https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/50484?affiliate_id=3063731 for the Character Sheet Pad (but why, in this day and age), and https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/126290?affiliate_id=3063731 for the Screen, although if you print it out, you'll want to stick it to something sturdy. Dice are unfortunately not yet available for print on demand. And as for our own links...!

Send us a textI remember playing my first Call of Cthulhu game. It was at GenCon many years ago when GenCon was in Milwaukee and the Safehouse was the place to be.At the time all I knew was that Call of Cthulhu was a horror roleplaying game. The idea sounded cool and the game fit into my schedule so why not.I had a blast.It truly was a wonderful game that fundamentally changed many of my thoughts around table top roleplaying. It wasn't just swords and sorcery, there were other worlds out there to be explored.After the game I realized that Call of Cthulhu wasn't just a neat game. It was based on an entire world created by author H.P. Lovecraft. I had copies of “At the Mountains of Madness” and “The Shadow of Innsmouth” in my hands by the end of the week.I think that is where my love of games that come from Intellectual Properties or IPs came from.What's an IP you ask? Well simply put it is a creation of the mind typically found in inventions, literature, film, or any other medium that a person can apply for a patent, trademark, copyright, etc.While D&D was built on the backs of Tolkien's middle earth and Howard's Conan it wasn't specifically set in that world. Traveller leaned heavily into the old Sci-Fi serials like Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, and Dumarest of Terra, but it was its own thing. As far as I can tell Call of Cthulhu is the first roleplaying game truly built on an IP.But it wasn't the last.Star Wars, Star Trek, Middle Earth Role Playing, Marvel Superhero's, DC Adventures and James Bond 007 all followed quickly. Today as I glance at my gaming bookshelf, I notice a trend.Games based on IP's.From Aliens to Farscape, From the One Ring to Monster Hunter International, From Blade Runner to Star Trek, from Star Wars to The Expanse and from Conan to James Bond. I love the IPs.In this week's episode Mike, Christina and I are going to talk about Intellectual Property Games. We are going to talk about why they are so successful, why people like them, and some of our favorites. But specifically, we are going to talk about the what IP isn't a game right now, but should be.Before we go down that road, Christina, what's your current favorite game based on an IP?[Kick to Christina]Mike, this question probably makes your brain melt. You can't pick Star Wars and Middle Earth Roleplaying…you gotta choose, so which one is your current favorite.

Let's talk about the 800 pound gorilla in the room… DCC RPG is more popular than ever, played worldwide, being played on a football field in Indianapolis at GENCON… and meanwhile the Fifth edition of the world's most popular RPG is probably more popular now than D&D was at its heyday of the 1970s!  (Especially […]

Today, Jamie is joined by Honorary Founder Rodney Smith to chat about their adventures into a variety of exciting new hobbies. They kick things off with a dive into the immersive world of tabletop wargaming, teasing their upcoming trip to Washington, DC, for the highly anticipated Circle DC convention. From there, they segue into their shared love for vinyl collecting, swapping stories about some of their all-time favorite albums. Naturally, no hobby chat would be complete without a detour into the realm of coffee and espresso, a passion both share with great enthusiasm. Finally, they wrap things up with a lively discussion about Rodney's latest obsession: Gunpla. Rodney's enthusiasm is so contagious that, despite Jamie's resistance, it's only a matter of time before he's fully drawn into the world of Gundam model building.

Hey Now Cabalists! In today's Express Don and Jamie present the annual Best of 2024 in which they discuss the games we love from the past year.

Jason Tandro, senior designer of D&D, dehumanizes old school players as "Grognards" after Elon Musk told WotC to "burn in hell" for trying to distance itself from Gary Gygax. D&D's current leadership considers old school players "not worth listening to," prioritizing a "modern audience" and "enlightened" players over the game's original creators and fans. Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast have allegedly mistreated creators like Ed Greenwood and Margaret Weis, denying proper credit and residuals for their work on Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance. Gen Con has been accused of downplaying Gary Gygax's legacy, reflecting a broader trend in tabletop gaming to distance from its roots. The D&D team anticipated backlash from "progressives" and "underrepresented groups" over original game language, but failed to foresee criticism from longtime fans.

Today, Don, Tony, and Jamie dive headfirst into the remarkable world of Ryan Laukat, the visionary game designer, artist, and founder of Red Raven Games.
