"Erstmal ein Gut Eldritch Blast in die Runde..." Wer braucht schon angeborene Zauberkraft oder ein dummes Buch um zu zaubern. Man kann auch einfach den richtigen Patron anbeteln....und nein damit meinen wir nicht den nächsten Spielcasino-Besitzer um die Ecke. Der Hexenmeister setzt auch in diesem Player's Handbook auf Altbewehrtes, ist aber dennoch um einige Fähigkeiten erleichtert worden. Oder sagen wir so: Einige sind keine Pflichtwahl mehr. Was genau das für euer neues Charakter-Konzept bedeutet, erfahrt ihr in der Folge.

Alors que nos aventuriers membres de la compagnie du Poing d'Argent tentent d'aller plus profondément dans la forêt de Davokar, ils feront la rencontre d'un personnage singulier qui leur confiera une quête inattendue. Que feront nos aventuriers avec cette nouvelle option?Allons donc rejoindre nos émissaires de la Reine Korinthia, soit:le Magistrat d'Ordo Magica Beremo Grandvent (joué par Jean-Philippe Décarie-Mathieu);le barbare-rôdeur de Davokar Rikards (joué par Ian Richards);l'ogre duelliste simplet Daemon Myirr (joué par Martin Durette);le sorcier mort-vivant Chovek (joué par Jonathan Papin)Votre maître de jeu est Benoît Gagnon.Bonne partie!
No episódio de hoje, recebo Bruno Mares para uma conversa afiada sobre três títulos de peso da Tria Editora. Beyond the Wall reinventa o espírito old school com criação coletiva e aventuras sem preparo, evocando o clima dos romances que marcaram nossa infância. Symbaroum oferece uma fantasia sombria e melancólica, onde aventureiros exploram a floresta de Davokar em busca de tesouros, enfrentando corrupção, criaturas ancestrais e intrigas entre facções que disputam poder e fé. Já Ronin traz ação brutal e estética samurai em um mundo à beira do colapso, dominado por yōkai, honra quebrada e duelos mortais.

Ever wondered what beer chemistry, emo vampires, and broom mechanics have in common? Neither did we—until this week's RPGBOT.Podcast! We're diving deep into RPG madness, from the grimy charm of Shadow Dark to the chaos of Warhammer's magic (spoiler: it's messy). Then, we tackle Symbaroum, where sweeping is serious business, and Vison, the perfect game for overachieving detectives. Horror fans, brace yourselves! It's eldritch chills with Call of Cthulhu, slapstick terror with Pulp Cthulhu, and Appalachian nightmares with Old Gods of Appalachia. Oh, and don't forget Vampire: The Masquerade, where brooding has never been so stylish. Summary Join the RPGBOT hosts as they embark on a tabletop odyssey filled with epic quests, fermented wisdom, and dice-fueled shenanigans! In this episode, they sip on the heady brew of beer chemistry before stumbling into the Old-School Renaissance of Shadow Dark—where dungeons are grim, and death is always just a dice roll away. The adventure takes a quirky turn with Symbaroum, a game where sweeping mechanics finally get their moment in the spotlight, and spirals into the arcane depths of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay's magic systems (spoiler: it's like herding chaotic cats). Mystery lovers, rejoice! They dissect Vison, an RPG that dares players to think—and maybe overthink—its clever puzzles. For horror fans, it's a double feature: Call of Cthulhu's sanity-shattering frights meet Pulp Cthulhu's lighthearted antics (think Indiana Jones with an eldritch twist). The hosts then dive fang-first into Vampire: The Masquerade and the brooding drama of World of Darkness, where players face the ultimate challenge: emo roleplay. To cap it off, the crew gets their candles snuffed out in Ten Candles and pulled into the spine-tingling Appalachian horrors of Old Gods of Appalachia. Whether you're rolling a nat 20 or a nat 1, this episode celebrates RPGs in all their weird, wonderful glory.

Ever wondered what beer chemistry, emo vampires, and broom mechanics have in common? Neither did we—until this week's RPGBOT.Podcast! We're diving deep into RPG madness, from the grimy charm of Shadow Dark to the chaos of Warhammer's magic (spoiler: it's messy). Then, we tackle Symbaroum, where sweeping is serious business, and Vison, the perfect game for overachieving detectives. Horror fans, brace yourselves! It's eldritch chills with Call of Cthulhu, slapstick terror with Pulp Cthulhu, and Appalachian nightmares with Old Gods of Appalachia. Oh, and don't forget Vampire: The Masquerade, where brooding has never been so stylish. Summary Join the RPGBOT hosts as they embark on a tabletop odyssey filled with epic quests, fermented wisdom, and dice-fueled shenanigans! In this episode, they sip on the heady brew of beer chemistry before stumbling into the Old-School Renaissance of Shadow Dark—where dungeons are grim, and death is always just a dice roll away. The adventure takes a quirky turn with Symbaroum, a game where sweeping mechanics finally get their moment in the spotlight, and spirals into the arcane depths of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay's magic systems (spoiler: it's like herding chaotic cats). Mystery lovers, rejoice! They dissect Vison, an RPG that dares players to think—and maybe overthink—its clever puzzles. For horror fans, it's a double feature: Call of Cthulhu's sanity-shattering frights meet Pulp Cthulhu's lighthearted antics (think Indiana Jones with an eldritch twist).

Dans le Duché de Narugor, le Poing d'Argent arrive finalement à Thisle Hold, dernier refuge de la civilisation ambrienne avant d'entrer dans la contrée sauvage de Davokar. Ils apprennent alors que le Médaillon de la Nécroflamme, en possession de la Compagnie, est activement recherché par l'Église de Prios. Demandant la protection d'Ordo Magica, les aventuriers apprennent que des Elfes de l'Étang des rêves pourraient leur venir en aide pour se débarasser de l'artéfact... ou militariser celui-ci. Allons donc rejoindre nos émissaires de la Reine Korinthia, soit: le Magistrat d'Ordo Magica Beremo Grandvent (joué par Jean-Philippe Décarie-Mathieu); le barbare-rôdeur de Davokar Rikards (joué par Ian Richards); l'ogre duelliste simplet Daemon Myirr (joué par Martin Durette); le sorcier mort-vivant Chovek (joué par Jonathan Papin) Votre maître de jeu est Benoît Gagnon. Bonne partie!

Sur la route de Thistle Hold, la compagnie du Poing d'Argent s'arrête à Templewall, une ville sainte du dieu-soleil Prios. Lors d'un séjour dans une auberge, des rumeurs en provenance de Davokar parlent d'un grimoire volé à un mage mourant proche de la ville forestière de Jakaar. Intrigués, les émissaires de la couronne poursuivent leur chemin mais une nuit passée dans une grange va grandement boulverser leurs plans...
