2022/10/21

Don't wanna read a whole 300 page rulebook to run a game your friends can't schedule time to play? Well we've got good news for you, there are a LOT of games out there to pick up and get playing fast. No complicated rules mechanics, no overarching stories, rules lite games tend to focus on a theme or desired experience and tailor everything to fit that kind of story. But making a cohesive game in that little space isn't as easy as it sounds. We discuss what a minimalist RPG needs to still work,

Modified Rolls - Metacurrencies with Special Guest...

DMs After Dark ·

2022/10/07

Metacurrency (noun) - A player resource in a game that allows the player to apply an advantageous effect within the fiction without actually interacting with the game at a character level. Not exactly Merriam-Webster, but hey, you get the idea. Metacurrencies are popular in many RPGs as a way to incentivize players to engage in the game as its meant to be played, reward players for playing the game as intended, and share authorial control of the world or be used as "get out of jail (read: death)

The crew of the Lady Saskatoon find themselves sailing blindly into a thick fog and mist with no land in sight. The stars have betrayed them and are unfamiliar to all aboard.

Modified Rolls - Balance in RPGs

DMs After Dark ·

2022/09/09

Ever feel like you're in a fight that there's no chance you can win? Maybe it's the dice betraying you or maybe it was a hint that you weren't supposed to pick that fight (yet or maybe ever). Balance in RPGs is an expectation that both players and GM need to communicate clearly during a session or campaign. Sometimes imbalanced encounters function as "gates" to areas you shouldn't explore yet, other times they're purposefully overwhelming but provide alternate win conditions or survival is the

Modified Rolls - DM PCs

Have you ever played in an RPG campaign where the DM makes a character to be a member of the party? Were they mostly in the background or did they happen to always be the strongest, best, or have the best treasure? There are definitely wrong ways to do DM PCs, but we're here to talk about the ways to make them work for your game. In this episode, we dive into a hot topic and come out the other side with maybe a surprising take! Amber's ready to brawl it out, and Rene has a change of

Out there in the vast expanse of ocean lie countless islands full of opportunity, treasures unclaimed, and mysteries waiting for fortunate, or maybe unfortunate, souls to come bring back into daylight... 100 years ago a French ship went missing - its crew and cargo assumed to be lost to time... until now. Recently, a survivor has been spending the gold long thought gone with that ship, and rumors are swirling about an island with more gold than you can spend in a lifetime left for the taking.
