"Welcome To The Narrative Universe" - With Daisy Stridinger & Joshua Orsak Apr 04, 2024

Show notes

This week, Liv and Jeremy are bringing you a sponsored episode from the makers of a TTRPG system underdog: The Narrative Universe! Joined by writer Daisy Kurtwise (mskurtwise) and creator Joshua Orsak, we take a deep dive into the 100-side system that's modular, story-forward, and math-optional! If you're looking for a system that's heavily focussed on collaborative story telling, with a core Fate Roll mechanic that allows for incredibly flexible, guilt-free GMing and more player agency that gives allows every member of your party the opportunity to play out their dream scenarios exactly how they envision them, then check out some of the links below:

"Ultimate GM Snack? Soup!" - With Kay and Sam Lubwika Bartlett (Roll & Play Press) Mar 28, 2024

Show notes

We know you've seen Roll & Play Press' EVERYWHERE - from Critical Role to High Rollers, but did you know the dream team behind this new industry giant was a nerd and a boffin? Yes, fresh off the heels of their incredibly successful Map Library kickstarter, today Jasper and Liv are joined by CEO Kay Lubwika Bartlett and CCO Sam Bartlett! From what might be the most wholesome love-story-turned-business-partnership in TTRPG history, to creating an organic TTRPG kickstarter that raised over £200,000, and key tips to breaking into the industry, Kay and Sam share with us how it's done!

(Disclaimer: please do not try and eat soup while GMing. None of us have actually done it, but it just feels wrong and you know it.)

"This Is Not Real Life!" - With Margaret Krohn Mar 22, 2024

Show notes

Keeping up our streak of interviewing phenomenal women for Women's History Month, this week we have one heck of a woman who develops for Ashes of Creation, writes gorgeous games like Witches & Spellcraft, and has performed in APs on this very podcast - It's Margaret Krohn! Our very own Jenna Ainsley from 'Big Trouble In Little Mineuse' is here to chat about life, how she became a game dev, and what it's actually like being a woman of colour in the world of game development!

"The Hog King" - With Jasmine Bhullar Mar 14, 2024

Show notes

It is time to kick back and listen to the dulcet tones of this week's absolutely incredible guest; straight from the tables of DesiQuest, Dimension20, Critical Role and Acquisitions Incorporated, it's Jasmine Bhullar! Jasmine joins Liv and Jeremy as they dive into the transition from true Mathlete nerd to TTRPG nerd, being the weird kids with unfathomable fixations (shout out to Mouse Guard), playing the character on camera that no-one likes, and casting tables that show there's no one way to fit into a culture.

The new TTRPG 'Pug Wolf' will be coming soon...

"You can smell the Misogyny Soup from here" - With Ginny Di Mar 07, 2024

The YouTuber, singer, cosplayer, and creator of everything from viral videos to incredible costumes talks to us about her experiences of being a woman in content creation, how "The Deep Nerds" brought her into the fold of the TTRPG world, the questions she asks when bringing a character to life, and how to explore races and ancestries in cosplay respectfully.

Show notes

Fight if you can. It's best to run. And if you hear them wailing... try to survive.

DISCLAIMER: since this episode has aired and in light of developments, Gabe Hicks has been removed from the cast list of 3 Black Halfling's 'The Corrupted' playthrough. We have decided to keep Part 1 live in its current edit out of respect for the time and effort the other players and editors put into this game. Gabe will not feature in Part 2 scheduled for April.

cw: zombie horror (vividly described)

As we round off Black History Month, we've gathered some of the greatest TTTRPG players around to come and play in a Last of Us Inspired one-shot, created by one of best zombie horror writers out there and also GM'ed by him; Navaar Jackson! In Navaar's "The Corrupted", our incredible players Gabe Hicks, Lexi McQueen, Drakoniques and Jeremy Cobb fight not just with the unknown threat that lurks around every corner, but also with the deep-seated conflicts they have with one another. Will they overcome their distrust and fight the monstrous things that hunt them together? Or will they tear one another down in their desperation to survive...

Part 2 coming soon.
