Snacks, Ghosts, and Shardblades: How to Play Stormlight Archive RPG (Part I)” Because nothing says “epic fantasy” like kettle chips, Cajun cuisine, and the looming threat of narrative-driven permanent injuries. Want to dive deeper into tabletop roleplaying games? Whether you're a first-time player or a veteran rules lawyer, visit RPGBOT.net for guides, advice, and resources to make your games smarter, funnier, and way more effective. In this first installment of How to Play the Stormlight Archive RPG, the hosts take listeners on a whirlwind ride from snack aisle recommendations to Southern Gothic ghost stories before plunging headfirst into the mechanics of the Stormlight RPG. The episode opens with food talk—everything from dill pickle kettle chips and Louisiana's famous Zapp's Voodoo chips to gas station fried chicken and boudin blanc. With a dash of humor and cultural flavor, the conversation eases into spooky tales of Savannah and New Orleans before pivoting into the main course: the Stormlight RPG's unique mechanics. Listeners get an in-depth look at how the game emphasizes both strategic combat and narrative storytelling. From the mysterious plot die to heartbeat-linked Shardblade summoning, the mechanics elevate roleplay by weaving tension and consequence into every roll. Combat in Stormlight plays out with distinctive pacing—10-second rounds, strategic positioning, and careful maneuvering—creating a rhythm that rewards tactical play. The hosts also break down status effects, the permanence of injuries, and the recovery mechanics that keep characters on the razor's edge of risk and survival. The balance between crunch and narrative immersion is front and center, showing how this RPG captures the scope and stakes of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere setting. Key Takeaways Snack wisdom: Dill pickle kettle chips and Zapp's Voodoo chips are peak gaming fuel; Chick-fil-A fries are their only redeeming quality. Food detour: Louisiana and New Orleans offer unforgettable culinary experiences—from gas station chicken to boudin blanc. Spooky vibes: Savannah earns the title of America's most haunted city, grounding the episode's Southern Gothic interlude. Plot die: A signature mechanic that introduces unexpected twists and narrative complications. Combat pacing: Unlike D&D's 6-second rounds, Stormlight's 10-second rounds encourage more complex decisions. Shardblades: Summoning is tied to the rhythm of heartbeats, adding tension to critical combat moments. Tactical movement: 25-foot standard speed, with penalties for firing ranged attacks up close. Status conditions: Meaningful and potentially crippling, shaping the flow of battle. Injury and death: Permanent injury or character death can raise narrative stakes dramatically. Rest and recovery: Players can restore health and focus through both solo recovery and tending to allies, creating teamwork-driven downtime. Design philosophy: Striking a balance between mechanical complexity and accessible storytelling makes the game compelling. Loved this discussion?

McDonald's workers have been striking at different outlets around the country in a bid to get the fastfood giant to commit to introducing the living wage. Staff have walked off the job at McDonald's in Hastings, Auckand, Whanganui, Wellington and Dunedin, with more strikes planned for later this week. The workers union, Unite, said the fast food chain's pay offer of 2.1% is not enough to keep pace with rising costs and the company making $105 million in New Zealand in the last declared financial records. Whanganui McDonald's worker, Rangi Tangira spoke to Lisa Owen.

U.S. President Donald Trump says Washington is still in negotiation with India after he threatened a 25-percent tariff starting Friday. Meanwhile, the U.S. has reached a deal with South Korea that involves 15 percent tariffs.

This week host Ciarán Hancock is joined in studio by economist and Irish Times contributor John FitzGerald. He gives his reaction to the EU-US trade deal that will see a 15% tariff rate on European imports going into the US, a deal that he feels the EU had agreed to with ‘two hands tied behind its back' on account of its continued reliance on the US when it comes to the war in Ukraine.Also, ahead of Budget 2026 John outlines the need for the Government to stop pumping money into a booming economy and focus on making space for much-needed infrastructure. He feels we are inflating the economy when we should be cutting expenditure or raising taxes, neither of which would be politically popular.Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound.

Message from Joe Fitzpatrick on July 27, 2025

Neil explores the essential balance between sameness and variety in our lives and businesses. He emphasises that while sameness provides comfort and safety, too much of it can lead to stagnation, whereas variety fosters growth but can also induce chaos if overwhelming. Neil encourages listeners to embrace challenges and unexpected changes by asking themselves, "What's good about this?" He shares the idea that every adversity carries the potential for growth, likening opportunities to seeds wrapped in manure, which can lead to beautiful outcomes if nurtured. Tune in for practical insights and motivational tips to help you start, grow, and love your tutoring business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Balance Between Sameness and Variety: Humans have a fundamental need for both sameness, which provides safety and familiarity, and variety, which encourages growth and adaptability. Striking a balance between these two is essential for well-being. Embracing Change: Change can be categorised into progress (desired changes) and problems (undesired changes). While most people are comfortable with progress, unexpected changes can be challenging and may require us to leave behind relationships that no longer serve our growth. Responding to Challenges: Since we cannot predict or prevent all problems, it's crucial to develop a positive response to challenges. Asking "What's good about this?" can help identify opportunities within adversity. Finding Opportunities in Adversity: Every challenge contains the potential for growth. By training ourselves to look for the benefits hidden within difficulties, we can transform setbacks into stepping stones for success. Growth Through Adversity: Just as roses grow from manure, personal and professional growth often comes from navigating through tough situations. Embracing and working through challenges can lead to greater rewards and achievements. BEST MOMENTS "We need sameness, and we need variety. The sameness is important... But the downside of that is it's low skill." "Most of us are OK with the progress part... many around us will be uncomfortable as we grow and change." "Truth is, we can't prevent problems from arising... If we had it, how dull would life be if everything were that predictable?" "Every adversity contains the seed of an equivalent benefit. What's good about this?" "If you get more manure, you can grow more roses. No manure, no roses."

She'll be pitching questions on the government's plans to reform pensions and the water industry and getting the panel's views on those US trade deals - those already signed and the deals still pending.

Next: Zohran Mamdani's been caught out by the New York Post… or has he? We look at the rampant Islamophobia surfacing after the mayoral candidate's Democratic nomination, and ask why anti-Muslim hatred is one of the most socially permitted forms of bigotry in the Western world.
