Wizards backpedals on the OGL, but why? The guys update you and give their thoughts on WotC's walk back of the statements that destroyed their fanbase. The news this week includes some long gone fat foods plus the standard fare. After the news, Venger Satanis sits in to talk about the follow-up to his original "how to" guide: "Advanced Game Mastering Like a F**king Boss." And Cha'alt. Of course, Cha'alt.

Episode 95 Streamed Live Tuesday July 5, 2022 Main Topic: 5 Other Non-D&D RPGs to play These are not D&D, play experience is different Links to games mentioned savage worlds: https://peginc.com/savage-settings/savage-worlds/ mage the ascension: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/199/Mage-The-Ascension-Revised?term=mage+the dungeon crawl classics: https://goodman-games.com/dungeon-crawl-classics-rpg/ legend of the five rings: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/legend-of-the-five-rings-roleplaying-game/ heroes unlimited: https://www.palladiumbooks.com/modern/heroes-unlimited 1) Savage Worlds a) Great for time-challenged: This is a game that is easy to understand and get to playing in no time. b) Cheap barrier to entry. One book is all that is needed. pdf 10 bucks, hardback 40. (used to be cheaper) c) Plays fast: target number is 4 d) The dice explosion mechanic is fun e) Very deadly, approach fighting with care 2) Dungeon Crawl Classics a) Though superficially like BX D&D, it differs enough to have a very different table experience. b) Spells have a very wide array of effects, each having its own random table. c) Character creation is fast and can be interesting with The Funnel. d) Has a more Gonzo sword and sorcery vibe than D&D given the randomness of spells, fumbles, and crits 3) Legend of the Five Rings a) May make wokeskolds irate "because reasons". Be exotic. b) The exotic Roll and keep is a favorite dice mechanic of mine. c) Combat, thought exotic, is very deadly, approach with caution, and use stealth or diplomacy when possible. d) Has a lore that is very exotic in tone and well thought out. Edition changes has wrought some havoc on the lore though. e) Very different play experience from D&D, some would call it ... exotic 4) Mage The Ascension a) This more of a wish to play. Especially if the more emo elements remove. H/T to Heathendog at Legion of Myth b) World of Darkness has some stark tonal differences to many other RPG. Its Dark man. c) Freeform magic is always attractive to as a long time D&D wizard player. 5) Heroes Unlimited a) I love a supers game. I like Paladium. Seems like a good fit. b) Paladium's system will feel familiar to D&D players, but different at the same c) This is another "would like to play" rather than a true recommendation. I already know the base system and understand it. d) Like all Paladium's games, it is a self-contained game but can be used with their other offerings. It has enough of it's own lore to you going.
