This Ol’ Dungeon Podcast ·

2026/03/29

Edwin and Lou talk about the interaction of VTT built-in mechanics and their effects on game experience and get quickly into the "This Ol' Dungeon" segment where they discuss the Chaosium "Stormbringer!" RPG and the starting adventure "The Giant's Stairs." Not going to lie, this episode is short and a bit janky, but hey we promised one episode a month, but there were not quality assurances in that contract! Seriously though, you get a pretty good smear of topics for what it is worth! Please don't

This Ol’ Dungeon Podcast ·

2025/12/17

Edwin and Lou get a chance to hang with friend of the show Jason Hobbs and talk about his "Into the Odd" inspired Civil War-Era, Post-Apocalyptic Western, "Bite the Bullet." He's doing some cool things with social interaction rules in this among other things! Its a tight RPG that really pushes into character play and leaves a lot of room for setting building that is still supported by in-game themes and mechanics pushing the "wild west" pseudo-apocalypse genre. We also get to hear a bit about

Alright, if you have followed the podcast for any length of time, you know that I (Luau Lou) have this weird ambition to do a podcast with my childhood buddy, Christopher Tupa, where we just talk.

This year instead of another Halloween episode, we branch off to Christmas! So, if you need the company of conversation, turn us on. If not, you may want to pass. If you have

Friend of the show Eddie Bartlett stops by on this one shot episode to talk about his and John Watson’s up-coming DCC release, “Dungeon Dwelling Creatures” (DDC). This DCC-compatible rulebook puts players in the role of the monsters—and not that sort of cutesy “Oh I’m a cat-person,” or, “Look at me, my father was a dragon…” stuff. No, these monsters are grotesque, wicked little things like Orcs, Wendigos, Debiks, Hags and many more. Eddie talks a lot about the functional design of a game like this
