Never done one of these before! Burden - It makes me most think of the burden of GMing. Prep, scheduling, running - it's all extra effort. But much like hiking up a mountain, the weight carried and effort exerted makes the view that much sweeter once you're at the top!

#RPGaDay calendar that lists different prompt words for every day of August. Day 5 is "Burden"

I think it's time to get out that calculator again. All through August and most of September we'll be diving into GURPS - possibly the crunchiest system we've done! Don't worry though, the next one will be lighter 😅

We've had a lot of fun this year discovering smaller indie RPGs - Chains of Gaelia, Pagan Pacts, Arrhenius. So I'll ask here as well - does anyone have a game they'd like featured on an AP podcast? Preferably with some meat on the bones in terms of mechanics?

Sometimes I fret about how many followers our podcast has (33), but one of my players put it into a nice perspective: 33 people listen to us semi-regularly. That's a full classroom... that probably listens more intently than an actual classroom 😅

What's an under-represented TTRPG setting? And do you know of any RPGs that do it (and hopefully well)? Off the top of my head 1. There isn't a lot of super-far future stuff, but Arrhenius does that setting. 2. Far past. I only know or Würm that does the end of the last Ice Age

How do you not fall into AI paranoia when finding/reading new RPGs? Someone pointed out that a certain (relatively) big ticket RPG that I backed and recieved has a lot of suspicious (not just x, but y, em dashes, etc.) stuff in it and it's making me question my sanity a bit 😅

Don't know what to play next? Come take a gander at Dicey Discourse on Spotify or anywhere else you get your podcasts! We play crunchy and narrative, old and new, indie and well-known. Stop by and find your new favourite TTRPG! open.spotify.com/show/4nIXEHY...

Been thinking about unique takes on (TTRPG) cyberpunk settings recently: Cyberpunk RED is the standard Cy_Borg is horror infused and weird Sibirpunk is standard but Slavic Crescendo of Violence is standard but noir Any other examples of cool twists on the genre?

It’s hot out. Stupid hot. You know what you need? An Ice Age. Picture it: the year is 100,000. A brisk breeze comes off the glacier. Light snow hides your tracks from the roving band of killer AI sentries that are hunting you. It’s perfect! ❄️ Arrhenius is on itch, RPG Trader, and DriveThruRPG.
