Send us a textWelcome to You Heard it Here Last where we talk about news, you've already heard.https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo70cy9?Gen-Con-Preview-BlogYou may not realize it, but GenCon is just around the corner, and while the online chatter wants to turn the tariff issues into doom and gloom for GenCon, I tend to believe it will be as big as ever. Paizo's recent announcement about GenCon events seems to bear out my sentiment.Paizo has announced they are running a Starfinder Society Second Edition event with their new 4-5 hour scenario “Collisions Wake.” They also will be hosting a Pathfinder Society adventure “Under the Eye of Mantis.” Finally, they will be releasing “Battlecry!”, official skirmish rules for leading armies.While I don't play much official Pathfinder, I think this just illustrates that GenCon will be as active as ever, not only with the games you love, but with new things as well.Dust off the credit cards, put on those compression socks, and get to GenCon.Mike, What do you think of Paizo's lineup for GenCon?[Kick to Mike]Christina, What about you?[Kick to Christina]Now onto something a little more heavy hitting.https://www.enworld.org/threads/goodman-games-revives-relationship-with-anti-semitic-publisher-for-new-city-state-kickstarter-updated.713282/In 2020 Judges Guild owner Bob Bledsaw II posted a variety of racist, homophobic and antisemitic statements online. These statements rightfully created a bit of a stir at the time and various game publishers including Bat in the Attic, Frog God Games, Goodman Games, and Drivethru RPG cut all ties with Judges Guild.It should be noted that these statements were all made by Bob Bledsaw II, not by Bob Bledsaw Snr, who co-founded Judges Guild and passed away in 2008.Fast Forward to today. Goodman Games has announced a new version of “City State of the Invincible Overlord” will be coming to crowdfunding this summer. The original version was written by Bob Bledsaw Snr and the license for “City State of the Invincible Overlord” is still owned by Judges Guild. Goodman Games will be publishing this new version through a license with Judges Guild Games.Understandable this has caused a bit of concern.EN World has a great article outlining the original issues and statements along with a current response from Goodman Games.Let's start with Christina on this one, thoughts?[kick to Christina]Mike, is this problematic or is this just business?[kick to Mike]And there you have it, all the news, you've already heard.

Livestreaming as always today at 2pm UK time (9am ET)! This week we'll be talking about new D&D video games, Goodman Games and the City State (again!), and the return of White Wolf! UK Games Expo Attracts 42,000 Attendees Making It World's 3rd Largest Tabletop Convention New D&D Video Game Announced Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked Is A Multiplayer Co-Op Tactical Video Game Wizards of the Coast Hiring New Lead Designer and Head of Game Ecosystem for D&D Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized Jason Carl on White Wolf's Return, Mage: The Ascension Plans Morale Rules In and Out of Combat

This week the guys dive into the Caverns of Thracia. A Re-release of the 1st Edition Dungeons & Dragons mega-dungeon. The guys also talk about Dragonlance novels, Gord the Rogue, and how much are character back stories necessary for RPG's.

We know that the "six sessions" that the modern DnD gamer call a campaign seems short, so this week we ask the question of "why?"  The differences between Classic Gaming/OSR tables vs. modern absolutely impact how we can have campaigns lasting years while they can't make a week.  Then after the news, the guys break down the latest in the City State of the Invincible Overlord drama between Judge's Guild and Goodman Games.     *** DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://bit.ly/nerdcognito *** Be a Check Mark Hero: https://www.nerdcognito.com/p/be-a-check-mark-hero/ *** Episode Sponsors and Affiliates: Get YOUR T-shirt! https://amzn.to/3D5xr0z Shop Amazon and Support the Show: https://amzn.to/3djotja *We earn a small commission for each Amazon purchase at no additional cost to you!

This week is a look at Dungeons and Dragons latest Unearthed Arcana, which focuses on Horror Sub-classes. Also some Goodman Games and Judges Guild issues. Lastly who wins between 100 commoners and 1 Gorilla. Nobody wins. That's who.

Goodman Games, creators of Dungeon Crawl Classics are now endeavoring to re-release The City State of the Invincible Overlord -- a legendary module which shaped Dungeons and Dragons and TTRPGs.  Two issues have them drawing fire from all sides. "Reimagining for modern audiences" has Classic Gaming and the OSR up in arms while supporting a creator the SparkleTroll leftists view as a 1940s German is bringing ire from the other side.  We dig deep into the situation and discuss if and how Goodman can navigate this minefield.     *** DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://bit.ly/nerdcognito *** Be a Check Mark Hero: https://www.nerdcognito.com/p/be-a-check-mark-hero/ *** Episode Sponsors and Affiliates: Get YOUR T-shirt! https://amzn.to/3D5xr0z Shop Amazon and Support the Show: https://amzn.to/3djotja *We earn a small commission for each Amazon purchase at no additional cost to you!

Send us a textWelcome to You Heard it Here Last where we talk about news, you've already heard.https://www.enworld.org/threads/diamond-comic-distributors-files-bankruptcy-sells-alliance-game-distributors.709593/Diamond Comic Distributors, the owner of Alliance Game Distributors has filed for bankruptcy. In a message from Chuck Parker the President of Diamond comic Distributors he outlines the necessity for the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy which would allow Diamond Comic Distributors to restructure and meet many of its significant financial obligations. While this could likely be very bad news for an already struggling comic book industry his message does have some good news;“We have already received a commitment from Universal Distribution to purchase Alliance Game Distributors coupled with a signed letter of intent to purchase Diamond UK, and we remain committed to pursuing offers for all Diamond lines of business.”  Parker said in his statement.While it's not likely this news will cause any significant issues or problems with game distribution it is noteworthy that Goodman Games signed an exclusive deal with Diamond in December of 2023.https://goodman-games.com/blog/2023/12/04/goodman-games-inks-exclusive-distribution-deal-with-diamond-book-distributors/Nasty business stuff. Mike you are our business guy. What's all this mean?[Kick to Mike]Christina, thoughts?[Kick to Christina]Speaking of IPs, or at least we will be speaking of IPs in the near future, stay tuned to our regularly scheduled program for our upcoming episode on Intellectual Properties that should be games we have this bit of news from across the pond.https://www.enworld.org/threads/qi-mentions-the-diana-jones-awards.709578/QI is a BBC2 quiz show that called out the Diana Jones Award for Excellence in Roleplaying Games on it's social media accounts. While that is news, it's not why I bring this up. Reading the “Quiet Interesting” post on Facebook is what made this one interesting.The Diana Jones Award is named after The Adventures of Indiana Jones Roleplaying Game that was released by TSR in 1984. It is considered one of the least loved and most savaged roleplaying games of all times and eventually every last copy was burned. The trophy itself is a Lucite pyramid made up of the last legible remains from those burned books. All you can read is “diana Jones” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Jones_AwardMike, Christina, did you guys know this origin story and if you did, why the hell didn't you tell me?[Kick to Mike and Christina]Also, why does Steven Spielberg have such a great track record with moves, but a terrible one when it comes to turning those movies into games. I mean we have this one with Indiana Jones and then we also have the ET Atari Video Game. Both considered the worst ever in their genres? You guys might want to keep that in mind when thinking about the IPs that need to be made into roleplaying games…I'm looking at you Avatar.[Kick to Mike and Christina]And there you have it. All the news, you've already heard.

Caverns of Thracia by Goodman Games is looking like a fantastic module for anybody who wants to run a mega-dungeon. Also Sooty Beards by Furtive Goblin and John Gregory and a really rare module called The Jade Hare.

Joseph Goodman runs Goodman Games. He has written a number of RPG titles, including DCC RPG, DragonMech, and many dungeon crawl adventures. His best work, though, is mentoring the amazing group of creators who have come to publish their work through Goodman Games. Joseph is also well known within the DCC RPG community as the Dark Lord, but in a very dear way. I had the pleasure to work with Goodman Games a few times, but I've always been an admirer of not only their work with games, but especially in the way they ciultivate creativity and community. In this chat we talk about many great topics, including game design, doing business as a game, creativity, nature as inspiration, the famous Appendix N, and parenthood. This was a fantastic chat, Joseph is always very generous with his wisdom so I recommend you listen to this one closely! So, listen up, and get weird with us!

I've always been s huge fan of Jack Vance and especially the Dying Earth series, second only to Lyonesse in my humble etc. And amazingly we could have been neighbors - his old house (where his son still lives) is a 3-minute walk from my house in Oakland, so when Goodman Games (no relation) kickstarted DCC Dying Earth I was all over it like white on rice. My lovely friends agreed to submit themselves to a quick playthrough of a Dying Earth funnel and here are the results. So join me in the scabrous lowlife picaresque world of Jack Vance's Dying Earth as Jenn, Scott, Spencer and Archie try to make it to the end with at least once character still breathing.

Harley Stroh, legendary RPG writer, Skate Punker, and an incredible Judge (or GM for the non-DCCers out there)! Author of moderns classics like Sailors of the Starless Sea, Doom of Savage Kings, Blades Against Death, Journey to the Center of Aereth, Tower of the Black Pearl, Peril on the Purple Planet, and more recently, the impressive The Music of the Spheres is Chaos, a massive boxed-set adventure with a spinning dungeon map! His work in the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG line is super inspiring, and his adventures are some of my favorites of all time! I've been a fan of Harley since I bought my first printing of the limited edition gold skull DCC RPG that came with Doom of Savage Kings, a very pulpy, and open-ended adventure that set very high standards for what I would expect of adventure for now on. I played this adventure so many times, and continue to do so, and I am always impressed how different every time can be. Anyway, in this chat we talked about many things, from how sneakily weird Harley actually is, how he tries to write amazing adventures just to keep up with the fantastical art created by Doug Kovacs, how he runs his finger over his keyboard while writing, and so many other weird and wonderful things. I loved to have this chance to talk to him for almost 2 hours, it was a real pleasure. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Listen up, and get weird with us!

Michael Curtis has been working in the RPG industry since 2008 and playing RPGs since 1980. He is mostly known for his work on the DCC RPG line, including such adventures as Frozen in Time, Intrigue at the Court of Chaos, and the DCC Lankhmar set, and for his classic Dungeon Alphabet book and the old-school megadungeon Stonehell. Michael is currently the Director of Product Development for the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG at Goodman Games.Thank you for listening! Michael Curtis is a tremendous inspiration for me and my work. As the DCC RPG served as a renaissance for my understanding of fantasy gaming, Michael's adventures and discourse about them (as I listened avidly on any podcast he would appear on) would help me understand a little bit more of this adventure craft! When I got to learn more about Fritz Leiber, fell in love with Lankhmar and heard Mr. Curtis was going to be the lead designer in the DCC adaptation of that world to the RPG scene I was thrilled. And it's not surprising DCC Lankhmar is my favorite flavor of DCC RPG! But in this chat we talked about a lot more than just gaming. We talked art, life journeys, how we fit or don't around other people, unique experiences and a lot of other weird stuff! So listen up and get weird with us!

Jen Brinkman is the Operations Manager of Goodman Games, but she is also so much more than that. Host of the award-winning Spellburn podcast, co-creator of the Sanctum-Securum podcast and the legendary Brinkmanicon, the spiritual mother of the DCC RPG community, Jen is an inspiration to us all. I met Jen in 2014 when I went to Gen Con for the first time and I was immediately welcomed by the DCC RPG community. The kindness and warmth from the community and especially from her was remarkable. And it's like this for everyone. The Order of Sheena is there to prover that, and Jen talks a bit about this on the episode. We also talk about her journey in the RPG space, how she doesn't see herself as weird (but I think I convinced her), how she drinks quite a bit of coffee, how balance is so important in life, how we need to remind ourselves from time to time why we do all this... We also talked about a lot of RPG related stuff, like the Indie RPG Summit that will happen in January and how she will be a speaker. We talked about the people in the community that inspires us, the people we learned from, GEN CON, and so much more. We had a great time and we left the conversation with a lot to think about and I hope you all do too! So listen up and let's get weird with Jen Brinkman! Check out Jen's links!

He publishes his work through Get Haunter Industries and has a super fun show on Goodman Games twitch channel called "Joey Royale's Pizza Party"! You gotta watch that! We talked about the weird in the mundane, the relationship between the two. We talked about the difficult relationship between spirituality and religion, how the act of playing and making RPGs is completely bonkers.

The swift and unexpected finale of our playthrough of Goodman Games' classic murder dungeon "Crypt of the Devil Lich" for Dungeon Crawl Classics.

Having survived the first chamber, our valiant party ventures even deeper into the Crypt of the Devil Lich. Spinning rooms, pressure plates, confused ghosts, and more traps than you could shake a ten foot pole at. We continue our second of three playthroughs (spoiler alert) of Goodman Games' classic murder dungeon for Dungeon Crawl Classics.

We recklessly plunge into Goodman Games' notorious murder dungeon, "Crypt of the Devil Lich" with little to no preparation. The inevitable ensues. Part one of three. Our GM was battling the effects of Canadian wildfire smoke, so apologies for the occasional hoarseness and lozenge sucking.

After surviving their first funnel EVER, the intrepid Roll Seekers return to the world of Dungeon Crawl Classics to face the horrors of the classic level-one adventure The One Who Watches from Below. Judge Martin from Gaming Honors and the show Honor Among Thieves will be sitting in the big chair for this special episode. In this episode, the Roll Seekers are raided by Gaming Honors. Martin Buinicki takes the Game Master throne and leads the group through a new, original module for Dungeon Crawl Classic. Will the Roll Seekers survive or fall victim to the crucible that is DCC? For more Roll Seekers action, check us out online at https://www.rollseekers.com/. ROLL SEEKERS: Welcome to Roll Seekers, where a group of gamers just like you role-play for your enjoyment.

Save when you enter the room or you're compelled to descend into the chasm to feed Rick all your good vibes. Veiled in the mist are carnivorous plants that'll attack if you try any shenanigans. Opening two doors will air out the room and break Rick's spell for everyone in the room.Flower list: Deadly Peonies, Flaming Asters, Iron Roses, Orange Orchids, Tripping Daisies & Ugly Poppies. Wear the correct 3 flowers (orange, ugly & tripping to spell “OUT”) to counteract Rick's smoke.In the depths of the chasm is Ricksanthemum floating above a pyramid bouquet. He's a hovering cow-skull demon with a unibrow, adorned with evil vines and flowers. Pheromone smoke billows from his eyes, mouth & flowers. Rick wants you to sacrifice yourself to him by staying here forever, sharing the beauty of the world.Art: Tiger Wizard  Words: Steve AlbertsonStory by: Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Brendan LaSalle--Thanks for listening to season two of the Epic Levels Mad Dungeon podcast, where D&D hip hop group Epic Levels and a guest create a system-neutral, playable dungeon room using improv, comedy, and lifetimes wasted on roleplaying games.Let us know if you run this or any of our other adventures and use the hashtag: #maddungeonYou can support us via Patreon for early episode releases, bonus map content, extra art, access to our discord server, and lots of other exclusive goodies.Epiclevelsrapgods.compatreon.com/epiclevelsinstagram.com/epic_levelstwitter.com/epic_levelsfacebook.com/epiclevelsrapgodsSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast player, leave a comment and tell your friends.Get nerd merch and stay up to date at EpicLevelsRapGods.comThe Epic Levels Mad Dungeon podcast is hosted by Andrew Bellury, Rob Bellury & Steve Albertson, and produced by Zach Cowan.Theme song by Epic Levels and beat by

Vainglory Hole: This room is bisected. On one side is a washroom with three magic mirrors promising a better you. Mirror 1 (Charm Hole): Shows you with great charisma, beautiful, a leader. Mirror 2 (3rd Eye Hole): Shows you with a 3rd eye in your forehead and with infinite cosmic power. Mirror 3 (Power Hole): Shows you with massive muscles and dexterous ability. None of the mirrors do what they promise.There's a stand that's holding instructional pamphlets on how to use the magic mirrors and their benefits. A lock box labeled “tips” is there for you to leave some money, but it's trapped with a slime shotgun if you attempt to steal the money. A wash basin filled with stinging salty water has a sign that reads, “Rinse after using the mirrors.”Unbeknownst to the PCs, on the other side of the wall is a gremlin beauty salon. When you push your face through the mirror, it sticks to the magic material, tears off your face, then drops your slimy face into a face-goo container that the gremlins use as a beauty product. The gremlins simply continue cutting hair and gossiping about the dungeon.Art: Tiger Wizard  Words: Steve AlbertsonStory by: Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Thorin Thompson--Our guest this week is Thorin Thompson of Owl Knight Publishing & Goodman Games.

This episode, Keepers Murph, Dave, and Bridgett chat with industry superstar, leader, coach, author, screenwriter, professional GM (and more), B. Dave. Walters. Bridgett got super distracted with both his and Murph's voice-- hence the episode title. We're not sorry. Campus Crier The Campus Crier is where we talk about recent Mythos-related events and happenings in the world. This episode was recorded on January 26, 2023. Pound-sign facts. Something that will come as a surprise to no one who funds TTRPG Kickstarters, Funagain Logistics is closing. Another casualty of the Covid-inflicted shipping crisis - they just couldn't keep up with the chaos and demand on their operations. They will fulfill their current agreements and continue shipping through April 30th, but after that no more complaining about Funagain and their shipping of Free League kickstarters. Update on Laird Barron and his condition, a GoFundME campaign has been started for the author Laird Barron who has been hospitalized in serious condition. Mike Davis from the Lovecraft eZine has organized this and so far they have managed to raise over $133k. Laird is still in the hospital but in stable condition, though he still has a long way to go, and that is going to cost a lot of money. American healthcare is bullshit. Aint Slayed won the Top Actual Play Podcast from ENWORLD!  Congratulations!!! Amazing team, fantastic games, and well deserved award for sure. Welcome to the Hall of Fame yo! The OGL Fiasco rolls on. In the two weeks since we last recorded, the situation has evolved, and yet, everything that was put in motion with the leaked OGL 1.1 has continued in play. Wizards, through D&D Beyond, issued not one but two statements. The first when they tried to just “whoops we're sorry!” and then slightly alter the terms of the new OGL. And then after that just made things worse, they apologized again and then created a new 1.2 OGL which they have actually released as a draft this time for the community to help determine the terms. Or something like that.  Meanwhile, as mentioned before, out of all the chaos many game companies have collected their D&D toys and left 5e behind. For good. Paizo, creator of the largest OGL 1.0 licensed-games Pathfinder and Starfinder, has announced they are creating the irrevocable Open RPG Creative License (ORC). They are tracking a still-growing list of companies that have joined them, at least 1500 publishers as of recording, including Chaosium, EN Publishing, Fantasy Grounds, Foundry and Roll20, Frog God Games, Goodman Games, Green Ronin, Kobold Press, Pelgrane Press, and many many more. You can find a link to an updated list on the Paizo community boards.  It looks like Wizards is now in full reputation rescue mode now, but it looks like the damage has been done. WOTC has also announced they are going to release the core rules of D&D as Creative Commons content later on another sure sign that they are desperate to fix their image. There is a movement to boycott the upcoming D&D movie that has gained some traction. People hope to send a message to Wizards that they don't appreciate being viewed as dollar signs, and so they want to flip that around and hurt Wizards and Hasbro where it counts. Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves arrives in theaters on March 31, 2023 and you may want to avoid seeing it in the first week or so when it's in theaters to help send a message. It seems like most of the big moves have played out, at least for now, and if Wizards wanted to stop people from making money on 5e then they have most definitely succeeded. But we haven't seen the actual ramifications yet, as content creators are still moving things around, the ORC isn't actually a thing yet, and OGL 1.2 is trying to squeeze its way back into the collective consciousness. So we stay wary and alert, passing our Spot Hidden rolls with EXTREME success. Patreon Plug & Update We have a Patreon!
