Ludonarrative Dissidents Season 4 Pre-Launch Live Episode 0 and Mothership: Wages of Sin Review Sep 28, 2026
Show notes

I have another RPG podcast, Ludonarrative Dissidents with celebrated game designers Greg Stolze and James Wallis. In each episode, we review a single RPG title or discuss a game mechanic. We recently completed season 3 and are going to launch a Kickstarter on October 13 to fund a fourth season.

Follow the Kickstarter campaign to be notified when the campaign goes live!

This live episode discusses what will be new for the fourth season. We plan to have shorter book reviews in our live episodes, along with special segments. To that end, I review the new Mothership bounty hunting supplement, Wages of Sin.

We’re also hosting a book club on game design, where each host reads and discusses multiple books with backers.

Watch the video version of this episode here.

The first three seasons of LND are on all podcasting apps. Search for Ludonarrative Dissidents to subscribe and catch up! It is also available on Youtube.

System Crafting: Creating and Revising TTRPGs at Gen Con 2026 Sep 08, 2026
Show notes

Writing a RPG can seem daunting, but creators now have more options and tools available to help them. Do you want to write a game from scratch or use an existing open system? What steps should you take first? How long does it take? Peter Petrusha of Imagining Games (Chew, Dreamchaser), Ross Payton (Base Raiders, Role Playing Public Radio podcast), Caleb Stokes (Red Markets, Delta Green: God’s Teeth), and Julian Kay (Mutants in the Now) have answers. This panel was recorded at Gen Con 2026.

Megadungeon Meandering: Moria for The One Ring RPG – Episode 1 Aug 24, 2026
Show notes

The platonic ideal of megadungeons, Moria from the Lord of The Rings, was published as a campaign book for the One Ring RPG last year. Chris and I start our exploration in the first part of this miniseries. The remaining episodes are available for patrons.

You can watch or listen to all of the episodes if you join the RPPR Patreon.

You also get access to over 10 years of bonus podcasts, RPG scenarios, complete games, artwork, maps, and more!

RPPR Live at Gencon 2026 – RPPR Episode 210 Aug 10, 2026
Show notes

We’re back from Gencon and had a blast! Our live episode features updates on the future of RPPR, discussions of Gencon 2026, and a lively game of AD&D Trivia. I found a copy of this infamous trivia game and challenged the RPPR cast to see which team is the best at AD&D trivia. For some weird reason though, every answer on the cards was wrong, so we had to ask the audience which answer was right. (In other words, we made up answers to see which was the funniest). Enjoy!

The Immortal Manther and Whisperballs – RPPR After Hours Revised Jun 16, 2026
Show notes

We revisited the saga of Baron von Kharkov, the vampiric man-panther (Manther for short), in the Dungeon magazine #50 adventure “Felkovic’s cat”. We also review Immortal: The Invisible War, a strange game of World of Darkness-ish terminology and bizarre metaphysics. Find out what whisperballs are and other esoteric secrets. This is one of my favorite episodes because there’s so much RPG weirdness. Did you know that Baron von Kharkov pickles vegetables as a side gig?

If you enjoy this episode, we have over 120 episodes of RPPR After Hours available on the RPPR Patreon, not to mention other mini-series where we deep dive into megadungeons like Stonehell or examine the oddest Youtube fodder we can find. We also have a collection of original RPG scenarios, min-games, a great community Discord server, and more! Join today to get over a decade of bonus material instantly.

Creating Better RPG Maps – RPPR Episode 209 May 18, 2026
Show notes

Maps are an essential part of tabletop RPGs. Who doesn’t love poring over a campaign map or fighting a massive set piece battle on a custom battle map? I talked to Joe at Heroic Maps about RPG map making. I recently collaborated with Joe to make a Mothership scenario available on both of our Patreons as a free download. We talk about what makes for a good RPG map and how to avoid some mistakes when making your own map.

Check out The Oblivion Broadcast on Patreon! There’s an actual play, with a video version that showcases the map.

Heroic Maps has a ton of maps available for download.

Dungeons and Dragons: The Immortal Storm – After Hours Revised Apr 06, 2026
Show notes

In this episode, we focus on a single D&D adventure called The Immortal Storm. This is a crazy scenario, designed for godlike PCs. It involves messing with stars, traveling to a dimension of sheet music and 1986 Manhattan. We also talked about Far West and Ken Whitman, both of whom are still around, 10 years later.

Just One More Roll: Writing Mysteries for RPGs – Panel at Gen Con 2025 Jan 19, 2026
Show notes

Writing a good mystery for a RPG can be tough to accomplish but it’s not impossible. Get tips from Ross Payton and Caleb Stokes on writing a great whodunit in your game! Threading the line between making the investigation too easy and too hard can be difficult, but we have enough experience to make it easier for you. This panel was recorded at Gen Con 2025.

Check out Delta Green Dead Channels to support Caleb!

Note: this panel was recorded at the Crowne Plaze hotel, which has an active railroad operating through it. I reduced noise as much as I could.
