Episode 681: Space Oprah Jan 09, 2026
Show notes

As you may have heard in our previous episode, a mysterious technical event ate our recording of our live episode at this year’s Dragonmeet. In the face of this tragedy we prevail with a not at all convincing recreation of the in-person event, with better sound quality and much worse applause.

The Nerdtrope Deck demands that Ken explain the connection between Moses and Space Opera.

Reconstructed Gaming Hut questions include how games reflect the current zeitgeist, ideal GM screens, overcoming first time GM jitters, and non-traditional cultist plots.

Other huts dealt with the iconic nature of ducks, fantasy film guilty pleasures, the Dubai pistachio fad, and nice things to put in bread.

Our Patreon-backed Letterboxd list of all films mentioned on the show is now up and running.

Snag Ken and Robin merchandise at TeePublic.

The official CatStronauts board game features cooperative play that’s only 30-45 minutes long, for 1-4 players ages 10+. Designed and illustrated by CatStronauts comic book creator Drew Brockington and available now from Atlas Games!

Make room on your shelf and in your heart for Page Turners, Robin’s game of dramatic interaction for one player and one GM, coming soon from Pelgrane Press. Explore the intensity of emotional storytelling driven by a single protagonist with scenarios ranging from Shakespearean comedy to tragic vampire love, written by Robin, Sarah “Sam” Saltiel, Ruth Tillman and Wade Rockett.

Get caught in the spiral with God’s Teeth, a new set of pulse-pounding Delta Green scenarios dripping with the once and future corruption of a nation swirling into cruelty and spite. From a government panopticon to alien worms to an app-driven mass shooter, your agents have nothing to fear but every screaming headline.

Play spies, skirmishers, and saboteurs in the battle for the future of the Thirteen Colonies in Flagbearer Games’ thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated 5E compatible roleplaying game Nations and Cannons. Jump into the early actions of the war with the new campaign guide The American Crisis, available as a PDF or for print pre-order. For a limited time use promo code CANNON at checkout for 17.75% percent off and free PDFs of your books.

Episode 678: A Word for All the Chairs Dec 05, 2025
Show notes

In the Gaming Hut we look at a core part of the rpg designer’s skill set, table sense, or the ability to predict what players will do with your material.

The Mythology Hut tells the story of a historical figure reputed to turn invisible, Qin Dynasty consort Zhongli Chun.

The Word Hut hosts a game of Jonson, Marlowe, or Shakespeare, in which Ken must guess which Elizabethan playwright claims the first attested use of various common words.

Finally Ken’s Time Machine answers the question: which of Morton the Regent’s murders would, if prevented, exert the greatest change on the timeline?
