Was ist "Die Welt von …?" Wenn wir über Video- und Computerspiele sprechen, die entweder elaborat ausgestaltete eigene Welten mit Hintergrundgeschichten haben oder über solche, die ihre Welt aus Literatur, Rollenspiel oder Film borgen, nehmen wir uns zuweilen die Zeit und sprechen ausführlicher über Lore jener Welten als das in den regulären Folgen möglich wäre. Im Format Die Welt von… erforschen Rahel Schmitz und Mháire Stritter die Legenden, die Geografie, die Geschichte, die Politik von diesen fiktiven Welten und holen sich dabei von Fall zu Fall ergänzende Expertise von ausgewiesenen Kennern und Kennerinnen der jeweiligen Welt. Die Welt von Shannara wirkt auf den ersten Blick wie klassische High Fantasy – mit Elfen, Zwergen, Druiden und dunklen Mächten. Doch hinter dieser vertrauten Oberfläche verbirgt sich eine deutlich eigenwilligere Konstruktion: eine ferne Zukunft unserer eigenen Erde, in der nach Katastrophen neue Völker und Kulturen entstanden sind und alte Technologien zu Mythen geworden sind. Zwischen postapokalyptischem Hintergrund, magischen Artefakten und dynastischen Familiengeschichten entfaltet sich ein Setting, das bewusst an Tolkien erinnert und sich zugleich davon löst. In dieser Folge erkunden Rahel und Mháire die Eigenheiten dieser Welt: ihre geografischen Regionen und Völker, die Rolle von Druiden, Artefakten und Prophezeiungen sowie die Entwicklung der Reihe von den frühen Romanen über spätere Fortsetzungen bis hin zu Adaptionen in anderen Medien. Es geht um Terry Brooks' Ansatz zur Fantasy, um wiederkehrende Motive und Generationengeschichten – und um die Frage, warum Shannara für viele Leser ein prägendes, zugleich vertrautes und doch eigenständiges Fantasy-Universum geworden ist. Die Folge enthält ein Interview mit dem Autor, Spieledesigner und Shannara-Experten Patrick J. Grieser (Webseite). Podcast-Credits: Sprecher, Redaktion: Rahel Schmitz, Mháire Stritter Gast: Patrick J. Grieser Audioproduktion: Matthias Kuhlmann, Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro, Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Chris Hülsbeck (Musik) Die Podcastfolge, in der es um ein Spiel zur Shannara-Welt geht, ist bereits im Jahr 2018 erschienen.

(While some minor sound editing was done to make the original recording somewhat easier on the ears, please keep in mind that this was recorded live and therefore the sound quality is uneven at best.)

Ever wondered what happens when you cross a high-fantasy campaign setting, a Louisiana bayou, and a magical eel with moonshine for blood? The RPGBOT crew found out the hard way when they sat down with Drew Foulke, the founder of Norse Foundry and Hexed Publishing, to talk about his new system-agnostic roleplaying world: Titanskeep. It's a world where gods and titans feud like divorced parents with cosmic custody issues, and adventurers are just trying to survive long enough to figure out whether the lich-titan is actually the good guy.

Get early access to recordings, bonus discussions, and the chance to listen live as Tyler, Randall, and Ash interview RPG creators like Drew Foulke, Keith Baker, and more. Your support helps keep the dice rolling (and the Billy Eels wiggling). Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, hosts Randall James, Tyler Kamstra, and Ash Ely sit down with Drew Foulke, founder of Norse Foundry and Hexed Publishing, to explore the upcoming Titanskeep campaign setting — a high-fantasy, system-agnostic world designed for Dungeons & Dragons (5e/2024), Pathfinder 2e, and beyond. Titanskeep, set in the living world of Kalidor, pits gods against titans in a divine power struggle that reshapes the world's fate. Players can join guilds, align with deities, or swear loyalty to mighty titans — and every choice changes the ongoing narrative. Built to support convention-based raid events, local game store play, and ongoing modular releases, Titanskeep promises a living campaign ecosystem that evolves through player decisions. Drew discusses Hexed Publishing's approach to system-agnostic design, collaboration with industry legends like Ed Greenwood, Keith Baker, B. Dave Walters, and Deven Rue, and his goal of producing a constantly supported RPG world rather than a one-and-done campaign book. Tyler shares his own experience designing monsters for the Houdan region, a New Orleans-meets-Venice bayou crawling with illusion-magic, giant bugs, and the now-legendary Billy Eel — complete with random mutations and "moonshine in its veins." Throughout the conversation, the hosts and Drew dive into: The challenge of creating a 5e and Pathfinder 2e compatible RPG setting. The use of guild systems, living world events, and player-driven raids. The design philosophy of Norse Foundry: making dice and props that players actually use. The plan for Titanskeep's Kickstarter (October 2026), free Patreon content, and playtesting rewards. The future of Hexed Publishing, from Gazetteers to modular adventure paths, and how community playtesting shapes their development. Key Takeaways System-Agnostic Design: Titanskeep bridges 5e, 2024 D&D, and Pathfinder 2e, with future support for systems like Daggerheart, Savage Worlds, and Fate. High Fantasy, Low Tech: Magic drives Titanskeep's world; technology exists only where titans allow it. Living World Structure: Players influence world events through guilds, deities, and Titan allegiance — shaping global outcomes. Convention Integration: The setting includes a raid-style convention system, where multiple tables impact shared encounters and titanic battles. Collaborative Worldbuilding: Drew enlisted industry veterans like Ed Greenwood, Keith Baker, B. Dave Walters, Jay Foster, Deven Rue, and Crystal Sully. Player Rewards: Free adventures, Patreon-exclusive ancestries, and physical props (like keys, pins, and holy symbols) connect the digital world to your table. The Billy Eel Legacy: A chaotic creature from the Houdan region, proof that player imagination and worldbuilding can get delightfully weird. Ongoing Support: Titanskeep isn't a single book — it's a long-term evolving campaign world with modules, Gazetteers, and live play updates. Community-Driven Playtesting: Players providing feedback can win $50 Norse Foundry gift cards. Kickstarter 2026: The official launch of Titanskeep will include free metal D20s for backers from the Patreon or newsletter list.

Worldbuilding. It's one of the most talked about aspects of running TTRPGs, as it is the sandbox into which you will throw your party to adventure in. We've talked about tips and tricks in past episodes and articles, and have come down on both sides of the debate surrounding how much to do with a focus totally on your specific table and party.However, in this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave have decided to become a bit more involved with a new experiment that we cooked up.Something that has never been done on 3WD before – we're going to start building a new world live! In real time, we begin asking the questions that will shape our new creation. As this is a show by DMs for DMs, we're adding another aspect. YOU!

Hi guys! A couple weeks ago Rob Conley wrapped up his Kickstarter live with us on the Random Party Generator Show. Matt Jackson decided not to show up, nor did he back it, so I gave him a call and put him live on air. A roast worthy of Dean Martin ensued. Enjoy!Rob is the undisputed expert in all things Wilderlands of High Fantasy and Citystate of the Invincible Overlord. He launched his Kickstarter, Into the Majestic Fantasy Realms, the Northern Marches, on my show as part of a long interview I had with him. Link to that is below.

Hi guys! Welcome to my new series! Rob Conley is joining us live for another deep dive conversation. Rob is the undisputed expert in all things Wilderlands o0f High Fantasy and Citystate of the Invincible Overlord. He has published many RPG products, and will be talking about his upcoming Kickstarter, Into the Majestic Fantasy Realms, the Northern Marches. Join us!Here are some of Rob's products and sites:His New Kickstarter:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/batintheatticgames/into-the-majestic-fantasy-realms-the-northern-marchesHis Free Blackmarsh Settinghttps://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/89944/blackmarsh?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=205060How to Make a Fantasy Sandboxhttps://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/470041/how-to-make-a-fantasy-sandbox?affiliate_id=205060The Majestic Fantasy RPG, Basic Ruleshttps://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/337515/the-majestic-fantasy-rpg-basic-rules?src=hottest_filtered&affiliate_id=205060His Bloghttps://batintheattic.blogspot.com/I'm going to continue with my regular interviews with RPG Industry Professionals. These won't be the standard 15 minute surface level interviews that exist solely for someone to pimp their product. Following in the footsteps of Joe Rogan and Lex Fridman, I plan to go deep. I expect each interview to last at least 2 hours if not 3. We'll get into the guest's personal life, gaming history, and how they got into publishing RPG products. Then we will get into the ins and out of publishing, so you can learn from their experience.Ideally I'd like for these interviews to serve as a motivational video series to help encourage more people in the hobby to publish their own stuff. I plan to get into some technical details so we can demystify the experience, and so you'll see that you can also do it with a little hard work and determination.I hope you enjoy it!By Popular demand, here is the link to my new Analog Mancave Discord Server!https://discord.gg/RHxTCq3mzTHere's the link to my first Substack post!https://open.substack.com/pub/analogmancave/p/joethelawyers-analog-mancave-has?r=4ewp0k&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=trueMembers now get early access to videos now!

Send us a textMargbark and Osiris search Port Wayworth for Archie, hoping to reach whatever part of him is still human. At the same time, they begin a desperate quest to bring Six back, following threads of magic and memory toward the Palace of Withering Stone.
