(Bonus!) Meet the DMs - Rene

DMs After Dark ·

2022/04/04

Hello everyone, a quick little bonus episode for you to kick off this week, something we've been wanting to do since much, much earlier in our existence - an interview-style little blurb where we discuss our journeys as DMs/GMs and all things gaming. In this first episode Troy sits down with Rene and asks him about what got him into the hobby (and who, because that just happened to be Troy) and what's taken him to where he is, why does he hate 5e so much, and a few little personal details

Come, all ye faithful, to the annual festival of the turning, a time of goodbyes and new beginnings, when our goddess The Hourglass is sure to renew all in our lives and nothing at all is wrong or anything... Seriously, we've been talking, she's good... She, uh, told me to enjoy the pope corn and pay the tithes and ... bless ... uh oh. Welcome to another one-shot, this time playing Jordan Palmer & Murder Publishing's Our God Is Dead, a hilarious rules-light game with a built-in 3 act structure

Modified Rolls - How To Prep & Run One-Shots

DMs After Dark ·

2022/03/25

On this week's Modified Rolls, the DMs After Dark go over one of their favorite things to do: run one-shots. The less-stressful one-night-stands of RPGs are a great way to dip your toes into the DM's seat, offer up an alternative style game amidst a long-term campaign, or just goof on being ridiculous characters in a no-consequences zone. From running published one-shots from the indie RPG community, writing your own one-shots based on your own ideas, or winging it with one-page or rules-light

One-Page One-Shot - Grandma Club

DMs After Dark ·

2022/03/18

Welcome to Pineapple Falls - a nice, relaxing retirement community in sunny Florida, where absolutely nothing ever gets weird or flipped upside down (if you know what we mean). At least, not under the reign of Homeowner's Association President Carol, who's turned this place from its rowdy past to a respectable retreat for senior citizens. However, Carol's recent decisions are rubbing some of the grandmas the wrong way, and you know how those Floridians get when they're worked up - they make some

2022/03/11

On this week's Modified Rolls, the DMs After Dark finally talk about what is, essentially, our mission statement as a gaming group putting things on the interwebz - Why you should PLAY. MORE. GAMES. And by that we mean play different RPG systems. Every new game you play offers an opportunity to experience a new kind of story, to learn other methods of storytelling, understand different resolution mechanics, play characters you can't normally play because of genre-defined roles, you name it!

Good Society Episode 2 - Everything’s Coming Up Paul

DMs After Dark ·

2022/03/04

Good day and salutations, my fine fellow members of Good Society, and welcome to the visitation episode before the grand finale. In this episode, the DMs pay visits (make calls in the parlance of the era) to one another and scheme, sleaze, and schmooze their way deeper into drama as the Harvest Festival ramps up to a climactic finish. Unfortunately, it will be a month before we finish the story, as Sara is a professional and has a conference to attend. Good Society will conclude on March 25th

Welcome to a new mini-show idea from the mind of our own DM Sara, a short little podcast where [[1d6]] members of the DMs After Dark crew talk about a chosen topic for [[1d4]] minutes each. These episodes will be brief little informal discussions mostly just us chatting about random things in our experiences as fledgling streamers, podcasters, and long-time gamers. Hopefully, if we're any good at what we do, there may be some nuggets of wisdom in there, too! This first episode of 1d6 | 1d4 was

Sirs, Madams, and all other gentlefolk, we are please to have you joining us for another episode of the Jane Austen RPG Good Society.

Modified Rolls - How To Be A Better Player Than Any...

DMs After Dark ·

2022/02/11

In this episode of Modified Rolls, the DMs discuss what makes a good player in an RPG group despite none of us really being qualified if you've listened to any of our Twitch streams. But, as we are all DMs, we do know what we like in players at our tables, so we attempt to offer up some advice to people looking to get into roleplaying games, newer or inexperienced players, or even veterans who may not have thought of what our crazy brains cook up when we start rambling. Key take-away points include

Good Society | Session 0 & Character Creation

DMs After Dark ·

2022/02/04

Good day, sirs and madams, and welcome to the first session of Good Society, the Jane Austen RPG that Sara's been gushing about since, well, since she first encountered it. We are super excited to dive into the world of Regency-Era England and play through this undoubtedly romantic, dramatic, and (the DMs After Dark guarantee) raucous series of all things proper. In this episode we go through the very collaborative process of character creation for Good Society, which involves making NPCs tied to

Modified Rolls - Romance in RPGs

DMs After Dark ·

2022/01/28

Our second Modified Rolls episode of 2022 leading up to (yes, really this time) our Good Society series to start off the year with class and juicy drama is all about Romance! No matter what game you're playing, what genre you enjoy, or what you're into, most games will brush up against some PC / NPC or even PC / PC romantic tension. How do you do this at the table without making it awkward? How do you do it so it's rewarding but not gratuitous or pointless? These are the things we discuss in our

Hello and sorry for the delay on the podcast, we hired out some freelancers to edit the episode and they sent the following excuse via handwritten message on a discarded fast food burger wrapper: "Peeplz, we ragert to anform u dat 3 raccoonz in tranchcote be late in getting posted today on pudcast for u laufs.

For our first stream of 2022, we decided to hop on and just chat about the first few months of DMs After Dark as a group, turning our hobby into a stream, and, technically, celebrating our one-year anniversary of gaming together in one way or another. We briefly discuss our goals for 2022, as well as talk about our favorite moments thus far, games we're looking forward to running soon, and ways we can embarrass ourselves for your continued support.

Modified Rolls - Gender in RPGs

DMs After Dark ·

2022/01/07

In the first Modified Rolls episode of 2022, we talk about gender as it's represented in RPGs! This is NOT a deep dive into the mistakes that have been made over the decades, but rather a discussion about strides that have been made in RPG game design lately and our opinions on why we like playing genders not our own. When you make characters, do you prefer playing the gender you identify as, another gender, or change it up regularly? Let us know! Content Warning: Rene after a few Margaritas,

Hello and happy holidays to all of you out in podcast land!

We discuss session length, different dice systems, learning moments, reinforcing good behavior, and, as always, give recommendations for good RPGs aimed at younger players.

From Disney, Pokemon, Avatar, and Conan to middle age book series and, technically, even Dungeons & Dragons itself, the DMs break down ways to make sure your games don't feel like second rate stories in beloved worlds.
