I really enjoyed the @orlanth.bsky.social podcast today. Mostly because it was a five way rant about specific RPG mechanics which get in the way in a bad way. Probably helps that they basically chose the same five that I would have.

2/6, Paranoia, please listen to the amazing series of podcasts from Iain at Roll to Save, starting with the history, he's a real connoisseur of this game and sets out how to get the most out of it, depending on the style of gaming your group is into. www.buzzsprout.com/834286/episo...

Paranoia - History - Roll to Save

This episode we take a look at Paranoia; the roleplaying game that took all pre-conceived notions of what an RPG should be, and threw them out the window (probably whilst yelling "TREASON!"  Dyst...

Really enjoyed this TT with the Orlanth Rex Round Table - how to negotiate those knotty settings and topics in RPGs …. Hope you find it interesting too.

Only half-way through this but can confirm it's a fascinating, provocative episode and very much worth a listen.

I had a lovely time discussing my problem with Bladerunner RPG and listening to the rest of the panel's problematic settings. Thanks Steve for the invitation to take part. I may be biased but think this is worth listening to.

I'm just getting started with this, but since the "playing US law enforcement in Delta Green" issue is raised at the start, it's worth mentioning that I wrote an article about it a while ago: ludovic.chabant.com/blog/2024/06...

Avoiding Playing Law Enforcement in Delta Green

Every wondered how to play Delta Green without playing as one of those "problematic" US Law Enforcement agencies? Here is some advice for you! #TTRPG #DeltaGreen

Which ttrpg settings or game themes do you struggle with and why? How could they be tweaked to make them work for you? We discussed this for the podcast last evening, and very interesting it was too! Coming soon…

Interested in how much people get to run or play #TTRPG On average its online 3 nights a week. Running 3 campaigns, playing 1. Some ad-hoc. Feels like a lot. I appreciate some play less, but I'm at a stage in life I can afford to indulge hobbies. How about you? Please repost if you can. [1/2]

New episode on its way to your pod machine over the next few days: another instalment of ‘Talking Tools’ where we muse on ways of getting through combat more quickly (if that’s what you want). Plus: feedback from players who suffered from my transplantation of SW damage resolution into STA 2d20!

The latest episode of Orlanth Rex's Gaming Vexes is a real delight from the Michael Parkinson of TTRPG podcasts @orlanth.bsky.social - gentle humour, gentlemanly banter and generous to his panel of guests, this episode in particular gets a 'highly recommend' from us open.spotify.com/episode/6mvv...
