Thank you very much for building such an entertaining system! We really enjoyed it. The mechanics were straightforward (but still let us roll a ton of dice!) and the examples and inspiration in the sourcebook have so much fun flavour.

If you have anything TTRPG relevant you'd want to advertise on the show, get in touch in the DMs or at campaign.spotlight@gmail.com. Rates are reasonable and you can fully just buy a single slot if you like, so this is your chance to promote a new game or whatever other project.

You know those intros at the start of each episode where someone introduces the show in-character as their PC and tells the audience they're listening to Campaign Spotlight? We've set up a hotline to collect more of those! Call it in to 724 320 2020 (and then DM us about it so we can credit you).

This has been one of the funnest parts of the show, because it's a way for people who don't GM whole big elaborate campaigns to show off the characters they play, and so we (and the listeners!) get to experience a snippet of a whole different campaign at the start of the episode.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Reilly was so excited to do music and sound design for your monologue - epistolary entries make for fun dramatic monologues, which I guess makes sense.

Looking for guests with interesting home TTRPG campaigns. If you run a cool home game and you'd be up for an audio-only no-video podcast interview at our studio in Seattle, DM us. We're really hoping to showcase more home games that wouldn't otherwise get shared with the world. #ttrpg #indiettrpg
