Welcome to another episode of Perspective Checks where I sit down with friends and folks from the TTRPG world and discuss what they love about this wonderful hobby!   The first of two Perspective Checks this month on RPGs and their intersection with creative writing is with Steve Morrison of Errant Adventures, an excellent solo actual play podcast which has followed a sci-fi epic through multiple seasons (appropriately called Books) using different systems and more! Steve is also one half of the Ironsworn Guyz podcast along with Matt Risby (a.k.a. The Bad Spot, see previous Perspective Checks episode for more with Matt).   Steve comes on to talk about his experiences with RPGs, writing, and doing a solo podcast, and how that Venn diagram has a lot of overlap, but it took some time to find the right balance. He recently changed up his process and it is really interesting to think about how TTRPGs (solo or otherwise) can really work alongside creative writing to make for better stories than doing either on their own.    I cannot recommend Errant Adventures enough, go give it a listen!   ----more----   Join the DMs After Dark Discord channel!   I made a Ko-Fi if you feel absurdly generous and want to help cover podcast hosting costs & all the upkeep. I'm still working on whether I want to offer anything special over there or just give my extreme gratitude (maybe some stickers or something in the mail) to those who donate, but no pressure whatsoever :)   Where to Follow Rene Plays Games: LinkTree |  BlueSky | Threads | Instagram | Facebook | DMs After Dark Rene's Games: MECH | One Last Quest email: RenePlaysGamesPod@gmail.com   Music in the Episode: Theme Song written & produced by Dan Pomfret | @danfrombothbands

Ever wondered what happens when your cleric starts a cult, your paladin questions their god, and your podcast host thinks he is one? Tune in and find out. In this episode, the RPGBOT.Podcast crew dives deep into the divine—and the deranged—as they tackle the topic of religion in tabletop RPGs. From the celestial bureaucracy of the Forgotten Realms to Pathfinder's heavily codified pantheon, the hosts examine how religion shapes settings, drives character motivation, and complicates moral choices. The discussion explores the roles of deities, demigods, and divine casters, while also indulging in some theological tomfoolery—particularly Randall's growing obsession with founding his own religion (again). The team debates the practicality of divine mandates, the game balance implications of cleric subclasses, and the power fantasy baked into faith-based character classes. The conversation also touches on real-world mythology, the narrative utility of gods behaving badly, and the delicate balance between satire, reverence, and good storytelling. They offer advice for players looking to roleplay pious characters, and for GMs aiming to weave religion into their campaigns without derailing the plot—or sparking a holy war at the table.

A look at how deities and religious systems function mechanically, thematically, and narratively in TTRPGs. Clerics, paladins, and divine magic users Breaking down how divine spellcasting differs from arcane, and why worship matters when you're trying to resurrect someone. Pantheon building for GMs Advice on how to craft believable deities, religious orders, and mythologies without creating a 500-page cosmology document. Pathfinder vs. D&D: Theological Smackdown Comparing how each system handles religion, from domain mechanics to deity portfolios. Randall's "cult" update A recurring segment where Randall outlines the tenets of his latest personal religion, now featuring more bureaucracy and glowing robes. Real-world inspiration Drawing from world mythologies—Greek, Norse, Egyptian, and more—to inform homebrew pantheons and religious conflict. How to roleplay faith without being a jerk The dos and don'ts of playing religious characters respectfully and effectively, whether they're humble missionaries or fire-and-brimstone zealots. Religion as a plot device Using divine conflict, prophecy, and religious institutions to drive compelling story arcs and moral dilemmas. Key Takeaways Religion in RPGs should serve the story, not dominate it unless you're running a full-on holy crusade campaign (in which case, go nuts). Clerics and paladins aren't just healbots and smite machines—their connection to a divine force can be a powerful roleplay and plot development tool. Pathfinder 2E provides more mechanical granularity for divine casters, including strict deity rules, domains, and edicts, while D&D 5E often leaves more interpretive space. Don't be afraid to create your own gods—as long as the players buy in, custom pantheons can be more meaningful than official lore. Faith can be funny, dramatic, or both—as Randall proves, religion doesn't always have to be serious to be significant. Avoid real-world controversy by keeping fantasy religion grounded in the game world, and respecting your table's comfort levels. NPC clergy can serve as guides, foils, or villains—well-developed religious characters can offer a moral compass or a righteous threat. Religious conflict can enhance drama—whether it's interfaith strife, fallen paladins, or rogue prophets with too much divine backing. Closing Thoughts Divine intervention is just another storytelling tool—sometimes it's literal lightning bolts, and sometimes it's a quiet moment of purpose for your character.

He talks about discovering pen-and-paper solo TTRPGs while exploring dungeon crawling games, and finding the format appealing because it allowed him to create complete games as simple documents. Anthony describes his design philosophy, talks about creating games around a gimmick, like fitting all rules into 36 words, and touches on the crucial role of online platforms in supporting independent game creators. Throughout the conversation, Anthony talks about the strengths and weaknesses of solo TTRPGs compared to group games and video games, and shares surprising feedback from his community of players.Guest BioAnthony Hobday (he/him) thinks about interface design a lot.
