Cantrips and Coffee

29/06/2024

We’ve been a little absent for awhile. It turns out that, although we have enjoyed sharing the TTRPG scene, we are ready to spend our time elsewhere. We’ll be keeping this channel up and participating in the occasional online stuff but we’ll be largely inactive. Perhaps in the future we’ll come back in some capacity but for now we are going to take an indefinite hiatus. We will also be finishing out our Zweihander live stream before we completely go silent. Thanks for all the love and support, catch you at another table. -Ruin and Cade.

A tale of flying books? A suspicious narrative of poltergeists? While our members of the Folly may be skeptical about the book shop employee's story, they can't quite pin down why it doesn't add up. Join us for the conclusion of The Bookshop, the beginner adventure included in Rivers of London, the new TTRPG by Chaosium. Well known for their Call of Cthulhu, just how well does an adaptation of the novels by Ben Aaronovitch work? Listen and find out!

You may not know this but our cast member, Jodi, streams for a living on YouTube and Twitch! He recently got a partnership with GFUEL! Coffee is great but I, Ruin, drink a ton of GFUEL for a quick caffeine fix that’s pennies compared to canned energy drinks. I wanted to throw his discount code up here to support him and also pass along the savings because I like to save a buck.

*I know this sounds like an ad but I seriously love GFUEL and my dude Jodi*

What’s this? Season 4 dropping hot with the Silver ENNIE award winning Rivers of London, by Join us as we delve into a four part actual play series, starting with “The Bookshop”!

Based on the novels by Ben Aaronovitch, this game feels like Cthulhu but has less crippling anxiety from the fear of the ever present sanity system— which we love! Listen wherever you get your podcasts and see what the hype is about. Once we play around with the system, explore lot and related media, we’ll drop our review. For now, come hear our journey from start to finish.

Well, hello there! I kickstarted this project awhile back and I received the first of my order today. I was able to enter a small release window for the first 100 people who ordered this style. I did order more of a different diagnosis and will probably get them soon!

I’m really excited for these. I’m a dice goblin but these are crazy unique. Spherical dice?! I can’t wait to get rolling. Thanks

We hit record on this beauty tonight and had a great time running the first session of Season 4. It’s been a while since we recorded and we had a small change up in our cast but it felt damned good to be back.

We recorded two episodes of actual play tonight, and we’ll be back again next week for another two before getting to our review. I’m not sure what our final thoughts on Rivers of London will be but tonight was a blast.

Here’s a sneak peek of the latest review that we’re working on. Any guesses?

27/08/2023

We reviewed quite a few tabletop systems in the last three seasons! This is ALMOST everything we’ve done and it doesn’t include replays and streaming. We’ve got 5 more systems coming in season 4.

Which of these have you played or would recommend to someone?
