**Delve 235 – Call of Cthulhu w/ Will Jones** Oct 21, 2019
Show notes
It is a spoopy time of year. Because of so much spoopy, we now have some episodes on scary tabletop topics… tabletopics? Yeah. On this episode, we talk about Call of Cthulhu with Will Jones from Encounter Roleplay. Will has run many campaigns using CoC, some you may have even seen on Twitch. While Alex is away battling ghosts in his computer, Nathan and Will talk about the nature of Lovecraft, Cosmic Horror, sanity scores, player progression in reverse, how to build a world full of unknowns, the terrifying concept of gods that do not care and why every player character is basically doomed. If you want more from Encounter Roleplay, you can check out their website, Twitch channel and Twitter account. If you want to dive into Tomes & Tentacles, you can find all the episodes right here. And if you want to find the Call of Cthulhu RPG from Chaosium, go here.

Delve 234 – So Vast, So Furious Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

Mike Myler created a really large game and that means a really long conversation. On this episode, we find out about primordial psionic abilities, problems with Common, undead dinosaurs, ways you can use the Gemini class and imagine what Cloud Strife would look like in D&D. We also learn about Game On Tabletop as a crowdfunding platform.

**DelveCast Live – Spoopytimes Saturday** Oct 07, 2019
Show notes

It’s that time of year when things get creepy. And what’s creepier than corporate synergy. Nothing in Nathan’s eyes, so we start out talking about KFC and Wendy’s entering the gaming market, as well as other companies that are courting the gamers out there. While it can lead to serious earned media coverage, it can have serious backlash as well. We talk about it in much more detail.

However, we also have some fun for the Halloween season, talking about how some of our favorite movies could be turned into horror films. And, hey, did you ever wonder if a mushroom could become a vampire or pass along lycanthropy? Wonder no more!

Also: Nathan imagines what a King Kong vs. Godzilla match-up might look like; Alex explains what he considers a AAA game; DC discusses his favorite mushrooms; and James gets traumatized by Garfield.

Delve 233 – Vast Kaviya Sep 30, 2019

Show notes

Mike Myler returns to the show with a new project coming to crowdfunding in October. Vast Kaviya takes D&D5E to a primordial sword & sorcery world with influences from Tarzan, Conan, Xena, Beowulf and Kull the Conqueror. Can you survive the fierce warlords who want to destroy your civilization?

Mike tells us about a procedurally generated landscape, a parasitic race you can play and the joys of watching Fire and Ice.

d4 capsule — **Delve 232 – 21 Sides Of Die** Sep 23, 2019
Show notes

Way back at the start of Delve, we did an episode called 20 Sides of Die where Alex attempted to explain dice mechanics to Nathan. Now we come back to dice so we can discuss it in more depth, from the amount of swing you expect to dice pools to exploding dice to odd numbered dice. Nathan has thoughts on the design of the d4 and we quickly build a d30 system that no one asked to have.

Delve 231 – 2nd Verse, Not Like the 1st Sep 16, 2019

Show notes

Borderlands 3 was just released and one of the big criticisms came from people who felt it was just more Borderlands. This led Nathan to ask a serious question about keeping a game series from innovating their formula while not alienating their fans. Can it be done? Who did it well and who didn’t?

We run the gambit of talking Magic The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, Borderlands (as mentioned above), World of Warcraft, Dead Space, Pokemon, Final Fantasy and (yes) Monopoly.

If you want to watch the video Nathan did on Fallout 76 and brand identity, you can check that out over here.

Screen Shot 2019-09-08 at 11.55.58 AM — **DelveCast Live – Homebrewed** Sep 09, 2019
Show notes

Our live episode featured Alex enjoying Azeroth in WoW. NOT WoW Classic, because it’s a crazy time on those servers right now. However, we do get the image of Alex playing a moose while riding another moose. Good times.

Meanwhile, Nathan spent the day at a homebrew festival, so he was somewhat coherent. It also made him think about homebrewing in RPGs, leading to a discussion of some gaming moments that colored outside the lines.

Also, DC finished Oninaki, James digs into Terraria and Nathan met an actual person who listens to the show!

Delve 230 cover — **Delve 230 – Double Your PCs, Double Your Fun** Sep 02, 2019
Show notes

What if you want another PC? Could you play two at once? Does one have to die in order to play the new one? Do those characters work together or against each other? What if your party is too small? Could you build a system with the intent of having players use multiple characters? All these questions and more are explored on this episode of Delve.

Delve 229 – Lok’tar Ogar Aug 26, 2019

Show notes

With World of Warcraft Classic releasing Monday, Alex and Nathan started talking about what that actually is, what the world looked like before all the updates, Nathan’s brief time and Alex’s extended time in that game. Also, what are the problems with MMOs, why has WoW succeeded where others failed and how do old games stay fresh?

Somehow we also got on time travel and alternate histories. Yeah, we went pretty far off topic at multiple points. But there’s some WoW in there.

Delve 228 – Unsolicited Advise, Part 2 Aug 19, 2019

Show notes

The epic conclusion to our dive down the Reddit hole! We accidentally design a rich card-based war game. A question on co-designing with friends leads us to a discussion on marketing and community engagement. We ask if there is still a place for choose-your-own-adventure board games. And we examine how you can turn a board game into a LARP.
