We're back, baby! And we brought dick jokes!

Come listen to our first new episode in a year as we play Spicepunk 1997! Can the newly-formed Spicegirls defeat Taylor Swift? Is Gary, Indiana really as bad as it seems? Did the storms kill Mr. Ray?

All these answers and more can be found on your favorite podcatcher and over on https://podofblunders.com/2024/05/13/spicepunk-1997/

Richard and Nate were in the same room for this recording! GET HYPE!

This Game Takes Place in Your Home Town by Jack Blair does a wonderful job of making the apocalypse feel personal.

Enjoy the episode and thanks for listening!

Richard and I haven’t had the chance to hang out face-to-face recently, what with the move and all. We thought we’d remedy that with a good ol’ fashion Jenga-based TTRPG! Last tim…

Grab your axes and watch your asses, it's Lumberlands time! After sitting down with Erik Jensen for last week's episode, the boys and I just had to strap on ...

26/07/2021

You know how like...you want to play a fantasy roleplaying game but you wish it were set in a weird version of the pacific northwest and that all the players were lumberjacks/jills?

We felt the same way. And that's why we interviewed Erik Jensen, creator of Lumberlands!

Most Podcatchers- https://tinyurl.com/b2m45seb

We ended up falling in love with the setting and recording an actual play which will be coming out over the next few weeks. And damn did it get weird. Mostly because of Ryan Bolger but also because of everyone else. Stay tuned!

22/07/2021

What's that, you want THREE WEEKS OF CONTENT POSTED ALL AT ONCE?!

That's weird. Anyway! We interviewed and played Heroes of Tara recently, and it was a hoot. Heroes of Tara is a Celtic 5E setting currently on Kickstarter and damn, if you want an example of real world mythology brought into a fantasy RPG the right way, look no further.

And now the links!

And, of course, we need to provide links to the Kickstarter (live until August 1st!): https://tinyurl.com/3te2s85s

An adaptation of 5th Edition D&D based entirely on Irish mythology. Character creation and gameplay in the setting of Ériu.

We got to sit down with Spencer Campbell to discuss his game NOVA! The game is a ton of fun and really captures the feel of a video game at the table. Here's a link to our chat

and to Spencer's Kickstarter

Also, Spencer was kind enough to run a game of NOVA for us and that episode will be coming out next week.
