B/X Actual Play podcast....that's actually good!

The other day over on FB (yes, I occasionally haunt there, and no I will not friend you) a fellow mentioned this podcast called Tale of the Manticore as a good actual play podcast. I gave it a listen

I can honestly say this is probably the BEST AP podcast I have listened to. The author weaves a story around the solo RPG he is running/playing in such a fashion that the overall effect is quite engaging. He splits this up with sidebar discussions on the character backgrounds (including the badguys), rules he is using or choosing not to use, and house rules and his reasons for using them. He also, so far, sticks to Matt's Best Podcast Guidelines #2: Stick to around 30 mins or so, otherwise you are simply bloviating.

As I said, this is a solo game but he manages to use voices and actors for some of the other parts and this along with his skills at storytelling come together to make a podcast not only interesting but a great listen.

Give it a listen, you might enjoy it (click the link or image above to head over to the TotM website).

White Box, where hath ye gone?

Random thought before bed:

It makes me quite sad that people seem to no longer be creating for WB like they once were a few years ago.  :-(

Well, I decided to release this upon the world. I have decided to toss it up on itch.io because all the cool kids hang out over there. Swing by for screenshots of the PDF and let me know what you think!

The Fallen Golem preview



Coming soon, currently in the review, proof reading phase. I will probably throw this up on itchi.io as I have been itching to get something on that site for a while now. Hopefully, there are few errors/typos and I can get this wrapped up quickly. Sixteen pages of OSE player-slaying fun!

No man is an island, a dungeon tomb

I have an idea for this one, may write it up as a short, zine-style adventure. I hear they are all the rage these days.

 Another map. Enjoy.

The Fuck Your Printer* version.

The Sans Numbers version.


* Thanks for the cool name Vance!
