Let the Dice Roll

Social Isolation Series - EP01 - Just Chatting

It's game night, everyone is still trying to settle in, some are growing restless.  Why not kick things off with a light warm-up?  Well Bezier Games got you covered.  The One Night series of games has simple rules, can be finished in about 20 minutes, and with the use of the apps, requires no moderator!  With a variety of options, such as Werewolf, Vampire, Aliens, and Supervillains, something is bound to be popular.  These are great for family game night (we'd give it a PG-13), or for roleplaying groups that are improv-heavy.  Grab one, or two and have a few laughs :) Bezier Games Homepage https://beziergames.com/ One Night Werewolf Online App http://onenightwerewolf.com/ Attribution: Music from https://filmmusic.io "As I Figure" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/letthediceroll/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/letthediceroll/support

EP 30 - One Shot Wonders

Unlike what you may be thinking.  This episode is actually about twentieth anniversaries.  Specifically the one for the World of Darkness 20th Anniversary edition books.  Raspathir, and Banjo spend a good bit of time reviewing the books, the contents, as well as providing a lot of commentary on the World of Darkness as a whole.  They.... mostly kept on topic this time ;) Attribution: Music from https://filmmusic.io "As I Figure" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/letthediceroll/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/letthediceroll/support

EP29 - Rolling Twenties

Raspathir regales us with the continuing story of Silas the artistically-inclined monk.  Just as in many Dungeons & Dragons games questionable decisions are made, monsters are slain, and injuries are inflicted.  Once in a while, things get more serious.  Attribution: Music from https://filmmusic.io "As I Figure" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/letthediceroll/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/letthediceroll/support

EP27 - The Painted Monk (Lost Episode!)

After a long a long, and unexpected break.  Raspathir, and Banjo are finally behind the microphones once again.  This time they're taking it a little easier, but they do manage to have a short discussion about a card-based roleplaying game called Weave.

EP28 - Weave

After a BRIEF recap of Keyforge, Raspathir, and Banjo have a lovely chat about character creation as it pertains to the roleplaying hobby.  This is not an episode about how to fill out a sheet though.  This is more about how to create a -character-.

EP26 - Building Character

Keyforge is a collectable deck game that hopes to solve many of the issues that Magic: The Gathering(tm), and similar games have.  Designed by Richard Garfield (of M:TG, and RoboRally fame), this game focuses on creating balance while giving players a fulfilling deck battling experience.  Many of the concepts in this game will be familiar to CCG players but there are enough important differences to make it unique.

EP25 - Keyforge

This episode was a long-time coming, and we have finally cracked.  With so many tabletop RPG titles out there one would think that it would be fairly easy to find folks that wanted to play something other than "Popular Fantasy RPG(tm)".  But no.  At least not in our experiences.  So far most folks want to play that fantasy RPG that they see everywhere, and may not even be aware that other genres of gaming exist.

EP24 - D&D vs. Everyone

It has been several weeks since the last update on Raspathir's D&D game so here it is!  If you haven't guessed by the title.  Things went horribly wrong.  We almost got away with it too, but the players just -had- to ruin that...

EP23 - How to be a Murder Hobo

This is an extra special episode, as we are presenting it uncut, and commercial free (as the saying goes).  What you are about to hear, is an audio rendition of H.P. Lovecraft's story "The Color Out of Space".  Narrated by Donalb, and uploaded to The Internet Archive by Toby_Doggle. Please support the Internet Archive, and leave a review for Donalb for his excellent reading of the story.  Links are available below.

S02-Halloween Special: The Color Out of Space

Way ahead of schedule we enter the second of our spoopy edition episodes.  Call of Cthulhu is a roleplaying game that takes a slightly different approach to the "horror" aspects.  For those uninitiated, this game is based off of the "Cthulhu Mythos" published by H.P Lovecraft.  There is also a bit of how to run a better horror game  In the second half.

EP22 - The Call of Cthulhu

WARNING: This game contains mature themes! In typical late fashion, we kick off a "Spoopy" series of episodes that focus on more horror-themed games.  This one is all about "In Dark Alleys".  A game of modern horror by independent publisher Vajra Enterprises.  This game has loads of interesting character options, dark plots that put black holes to shame, and a system (Organic Rule Components), which can add hyper realism to any campaign.

EP21 - This is a Dark Place

Sometimes games run too long, players get bored of the same old thing, and you need a change of pace.  That was the plan anyways.  But as usual with this podcast, Banjo takes the opportunity to check in with Raspathir (self-care reminder!).  That leads to YET ANOTHER cathartic rant, but fortunately the boys are able to use that energy in the second half to get back on topic.  A palate cleanser for the hosts, as well as actual advice for gaming.

EP20 - Cleanse the Palate

Banjo has a VERY bad week, and needs to tell you about it.  If you like to hear him go off on tirades about stuff GREAT!  This episode is just for you.  Otherwise... well we deeply apologize for what you are about to hear.  Except if you skip this one.  That is okay too.

EP19 - Banjo Ranting

Each week best friends, and co-hosts Raspathir, and Banjo try to tell a story or two about gaming sessions past. They use a very informal, converstation-style format as they try to share some background about the topic for the week, as well as their opinions before diving into the juicy story bits. Coverng largely tabletop roleplaying, they do also delve into board games, and other social-focused games. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/letthediceroll/support
