What do you do when you know you used to enjoy playing RPGs but the whole thing has, frankly, become a chore? How do you move forward when the reality is that you are anxious about GMing the next session and you have bailed more times than you run the game? This season is shifting to a bi-weekly format and I hope that listeners will understand. This season I'm going to work on presenting the experiments I'm testing in my own actually played RPG sessions. The goal is to track a route back to the table and, if all goes to plan - which, of course, is a big if - see about rediscovering the joy and confidence of being a GM. This episode is all about my expedition's direction at the start of a fresh leg in the journey.Big thanks to all the callers today - Andrew, Barry, Jason, Matt, Spencer, and Ubergrog!Game on!Roleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message:speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon:patreon.com/rpgrescue Email:hello@rpgrescue.comBlog:roleplayrescue.com Bluesky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/ubiquitousrat.bsky.socialMastodon:https://ttrpg-hangout.social/@UbiquitousRatMeWe: https://mewe.com/p/roleplayrescueRoleplay Rescue's Solo Tales:https://shows.acast.com/roleplay-rescues-solo-talesRoleplay Rescue Theme by Jon Cohen from Tale of the Manticore:https://taleofthemanticore.podbean.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Doomsong is a Roleplay Macabre set in a world on the cusp of a Biblical apocalypse. The dead are being turned away at the gates of Heall, giving them no choice but to return to the world above. You must subdue them, no matter how they feel about this arrangement. Inspired by medieval folkhorror, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and European mythologies, these two beautiful hardback books are filled with artwork by the incomparable Moritz Krebs. Doomsong: Lord Have Mercy Upon Us puts tense horror at the heart of everything it does, giving GMs and party members alike an unforgettable experience. It is a system that prioritises player choice: will you brave the horrors of combat, parley obscene enemies into tenuous allies, or employ profane powers to twist the world about you? No choice is without risk, and you must weigh your strengths against the frailty of your mortal frame. In Doomsong, you play as gravediggers, members of the oldest guild in Painyme. Your organisation accepts anyone: highborn and low, from those skilled in swordsmanship to the very dregs of society. Creating a gravedigger is simple. You start by discovering your character's Origin—the social strata into which you were born—and then proceed by following the Life Paths that appear before you. Along the way, you make hard choices and suffer the whims of fate. Lord Have Mercy Upon Us is a full campaign full of story hooks, including 3 main storylines that span an entire map and countless smaller encounters, interesting characters, dangerous creatures and mysterious locations. Half a lifetime ago, the borderkingdom of Lethe vanished overnight, stolen by a blasphemous entity of untold power: Father Plague, Lamentide of Pestilence. It has long been foretold that the coming of Pestilence will mark the beginning of the End Times. So it has come to pass.

On this week's Random Encounter, we're delving into two recent farm-sim RPGs, exploring if they bring anything new to the genre.First, Niki takes us through the remaster/remake of the classic DS farm-sim Rune Factory 3 Special. Is there anything genuinely special about it, or should you stick with more recent entries of the series? Following that, Sam visits the enchanting universe of Fae Farm. Does it set itself apart in the saturated market of farming simulations, or do the numerous bugs salt the fields for the future of this title? Finally, our panel takes a moment to consider the influence of the original SNES Harvest Moon. How has this classic shaped the farm-sim genre, and what traces of its legacy can be found in modern titles?Featuring: Jono Logan, Niki Fakhoori, and Sam-James Gordon; Edited by Jono LoganGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: podcast@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomInstagram: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomThis Episode's Related Links:Rune Factory 3 Special ReviewRune Factory 5 ReviewFae Farm ReviewHarvest Moon Review

Join us for a conversation that sits outside the usual format. If you didn't already know, our hosts recorded a standard episode about Sea of Stars… you can find that as #139 in the numbered episodes of 1H1D. Once that episode was over, however, Chris was curious to talk more about why this game stood out when compared to the many other RPGs that our hosts have played and reviewed. We kept the mics recording and now present you with the very first “After Hour” in which Tom and Chris continue their conversation with their special guest Chris Coplien (from the Retro Hangover Podcast) and dig deeper into their feelings regarding Sea of Stars.

More than 700 years ago, a massive disaster changed the course of history. The world was plunged into centuries of darkness, but the event also introduced the Adanadi — the Gift — a strange mark that appeared on all life. This mark would have an enduring impact on humanity. Centuries later, the Earth is healing. New, advanced nations have risen. Ancient legends stir. Coyote & Crow is a tabletop roleplaying game set in an alternate future where colonization of the Americas never happened. In this world that is both familiar and entirely new, you'll take on the role of heroic characters adventuring in a changing landscape.

Hear, O Cabalists! The noble Lords of the Dungeon return to regale thee with tales of roleplay anew. Today, we embark upon a quest into the mystical realms of Talespire, a 3D tabletop conjuration that doth defy imagination's bounds. Then our gaze falls upon three RPG gems, rare as phoenix feathers, bearing unique mechanisms: Ten Candles, Dread, and Alice is Missing. And in the shadows of discourse, we unfurl the cloak of suspension of disbelief, where the ethereal dance of fantasy and reality unfolds in the realm of roleplay. Join us on this lyrical odyssey, as the Lords of the Dungeon beckon thee to a world where stories breathe and dreams take flight!

Hollywood's labor problem may not be an isolated event in the entertainment industry for much longer. A recent press release from actors union SAG-AFTRA indicates that their members will vote to authorize a strike upon further negotiations with 10 major entities in gaming, including the likes of EA, Take Two, and even Sony-owned developer Insomniac. After all, the guild represent voice and performance actors in many of our favorite games. Yes, the consequences for not getting a deal done could extend far and wide. But it's also important to make note of an important fact: Otherwise-soulless mega corporations that exist entirely to propagate creative content should appropriately pay the creative people that fuel them. And yes, AI plays an inevitable -- but dangerous! -- role in the future of the humanities, and needs to be accounted for. Other news this week hinges on Final Fantasy XVI DLC chatter, tons of Starfield-related talk (since Chris is obsessed), and some new announcements, release dates, and so on. We wrap things up with listener inquiries touching a myriad of topics, including hoarding items in RPGs, the importance of playing a game right when it launches, the preposterous GTAVI/$150 rumors, and fighting back against a neighbor who won't leave your lawnmower alone no matter how much you may want him to.

This is a massive week for RPG fans, with Starfield and Baldur's Gate III both hitting consoles - but before we get into that, Chris "cbake" Baker joins us to talk about five games that - despite being licensed from American comics, cartoons, and movies - never saw the light of day in the US! (He also plugs his new book, X-Wings, Lightsabers, and Scorpion Vader, available now on Amazon.) Then we'll dig into the aforementioned RPGs, a smattering of Nintendo news, and the games or series you think should get Digital Eclipse's Gold Master Series treatment. QOTW: Now that they've done fantasy, post-apocalypse, and sci-fi, what genre would you like to see a Bethesda-style RPG set in?

Hail, fierce warriors and shield-maidens! Tis time for another saga of The Secret Cabal Gaming Podcast! Today, the Founders plunge headlong into the glorious games we've conquered - among them Life of the Amazonia, 7 Wonder Architects, 3 Ring Circus, The Goonies Never Say Die, CATAN Dawn of Humankind, and a feature review of Star Trek Away Missions from Gale Force Nine. Then, Tony T, our bard of gaming lore, regales us with an epic hour of tabletop gaming news that shall echo through the ages. And at last, our clan gathers for a grand gathering of short, yet mighty, topics that shall rival the fiercest battles of old!

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we complete our series on Eye of the Beholder. We talk more about D&D adaptation, spend some time with a sequel, and get to our takeaways before emptying the mailbag. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Issues covered: which levels count in the sequel, killing lots of beholders, whether you could have killed Xanathar in the original, striation of hit point values, scaling for sense of power, paying off on the quests, finding all the beholders, beholder physiology, having more fun with beholders as designers, bulettes and basilisks, "just keep going," being trained for level navigation, designing towards the player understanding, wanting coordinates, using simple concepts well, modular repeatable and combinable concepts, leaning into the limitations, an onion layer level, "mapping matters," loving drawing maps, sanding off of friction (various ways of telling the player how to get there), being more embodied in the dungeon, the more you take out the less the experience becomes, allowing for abstraction and having to draw you in other ways, translating D&D, why simulate the math, a bad game to simulate, "what is a saving throw?," using video games to inform the evolution of your tabletop game, emphasizing the human, a more elegant system, dice variance, a useless party experience, usability issues, bad games that were influential on us, remembering movie moments but not the gameplay, even bad actors are better than what we could do at the time, digging into all the RPGs, not knowing what to do in SimCity, DOS vs Mac music and early audio, a craftman's respect for audio, warm analog music, hearing multiple versions of the same soundtrack, not playing a lot of real-world games, physics in games and pitting against fun, wanting to get to specific rides vs how you build a park, Tim gets turned off on the CRPG book, building on foundations and the legacies they carry, business concerns, shipping code passing cert, climbing uphill to make changes, maintaining the feel.
