Light Side Episode I...or IV?
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
No, not there. I'll tell you when you're close. No, just keep going. Farther...almost. OK yep, right there. Perfect.
We're playing Light Side, an unofficial indie Star Wars TTRPG by Ian Mauldin and Cap (https://ianmauldin.itch.io/light-side).
And what's this, the return of a beloved guest, Mr. Ray of $2 Creature Feature fame (https://2dollarcreature.carrd.co/)! Not only did Mr. Ray agree to run this game for us, he also wrote some super sweet additional playbooks for Light Side (https://mr-ray.itch.io/light-side-legends-playbooks).
And best of all, everything here is free because they can't make money off the IP! WHEEEE!

We interviewed designer Jordan Palmer about this game back in March 2021 and now, a brisk 20 months later, we're playing it! Richard & Nate are joined by returning guests CJ Mickey and Mr. Ray (of $2 Creature Feature fame) for this sacrilegiously good time. We hope you enjoy it and also that we aren't smote down by some divine being with a terrible sense of humor.
If you want to grab a copy of this game, head over to https://tabletop.itch.io/our-god-is-dead and support a wonderful indie creator. And check out his other stuff, too! We especially like Perilous and For the Dungeon!

Hearthside Chat with Ribston Pippin, author of Fears & Fathoms!
If I had a nickel for every time we interviewed a French/French Canadian game designer, I'd have like...20 cents. I mean, it's not a ton of cash but it's still pretty weird. Anyway, we had a really great time speaking with Wendy and we hope you enjoy this episode. If you also want to speak with Wendy, maybe come hang out at our Discord (https://discord.gg/BNBDF7fBuG) as she has become a welcomed regular in the past few weeks! Or you could reach out to her directly via Twitter @RibstonP or @FearsAndFathoms.
If you want to grab a copy of Fears & Fathoms, you don't have to wait for the Kickstarter; Grab a PDF here https://curatrix-ribston.itch.io! If you want a copy of the wild west adventure or shady government operative adventure for Fears & Fathoms, you DO have to wait for the upcoming Kickstarter. It should be launching in early November but we'll let you know as we get closer.
Oh, and make sure you tune in next week for our actual play of Fears & Fathoms! It is epic(ly stupid but funny).

The Inn Between: Spelljammer!
Conan and Eric rejoin Rich and Nate to discuss our award winning* Spelljammer AP. We cover everything from how to handle interspecies love at the table to what even is a steampunk. We also discuss how WotC completely stepped in it with the Hadozee because sometimes its just fun to punch up at a deserving target.
Oh, and Wild Wild West IS steampunk and if you disagree, please reach out directly to Conan via his Twitter, @conan_lybarian. He also disagrees and you can enjoy being wrong together.

*We didn't win shit. This is purely aspirational. Fingles crossed!
Spelljammer! Part Two
Well hello there, space listeners! Space DM Conan (@Conan_Lybarian) let me in on a little secret: you can make anything fit Spelljammer if you throw "space" in front of it. Space hamster. Space castle. Space colonoscopy. Anything! He's a remarkable man.
Anyway! Thanks to both Conan and returning guest Eric (@ECrumrine) for hanging out with us! Tune in next week for our Inn Between episode in which we discuss space fantasy, sex in TTRPGs, and how badly WotC fucked up with the Hadozee.
Oh, and go buy Conan's game. It's wicked good and I know you'll love it: https://conan-lybarian.itch.io/

Seriously. Did no one read the Hadozee stuff at all? Anyway, tune into our Inn Between in a couple weeks where we do a deeper dive on that. In the meantime, enjoy this tale of space, ships, and maggot priests!

Summer Break Rewind: Fight Bears, Cough Blood, Kill God
The signs of summer ending are all here. Leaves are falling! Kids are going back to school! My rich, golden tan is fading away like Marty McFly after his mom tried to bone him! I'm sad to see it go, sure, but I'm glad we get to bring you new, wonderful things starting next week! Thanks for sticking with us over the last month.
In this episode, Richard and Nate decided to ignore the millions upon millions of fans begging to come on the show and rocked this episode on their own. Their egos cannot be contained.
And, of course, they couldn't stand to tell a normal heartwarming story, no. They had to go and spin the tale of Devin, a recently divorced janitor who wanted nothing more than to become a wizard and the washed up dodgeball trainer who saw in him the heart of a champion.
Yeah, they got weird with it. Surprise!
If you want to get weird with it, grab a copy of Fight Bears, Cough Blood, Kill God for yourself via https://luciellaes.itch.io/fight-bears-cough-blood-kill-god.
Oh, and in addition to this actual play, Nate also reviewed the game for the website!

Summer Break Rewind: The Quiet Year
Summertime and the livin’ is…increasingly difficult with no sense of progress.
Anyway!
Nate, Richard, Ryan, and special guest Christine spend one final year aboard the colony ship The Floating Ovum as they deal with your typical Quiet Year issues - insurrection, alien incursions, cannibalism, and a hot new soft drink sweeping the colony!
Will they survive? Will the colony make Nebulon 7 a garden paradise? And what exactly is Zygmoid the alien up to?
And boy did we get SUPER FRIGGEN WEIRD with it, and I mean more than usual. Which is honestly impressive given our usual game steez.
Grab a copy of the game here: https://buriedwithoutceremony.com/the-quiet-year
See you in September!

Summer Break Rewind: Knave - The Dungeon of Dereleth the Real Asshole
Our month off continues, and I took the liberty of editing down my favorite two-part into a one-part! Richard, Ryan, and special guest CJ play through Nate's totally rigged murder dungeon using Ben Milton's "Knave". I hope you're a fan of puns, stupid traps, and a lot of player deaths, because that's what you're getting.
But what is Knave, you ask? Don't worry, we reviewed it earlier! https://podofblunders.com/2021/02/23/one-minute-game-review-knave/

If that date changes, I'll let you know ASAP because I want Stillfleet to get all the attention and love it so richly deserves. Here's where I would normally list a ton of links for you to look at but...honestly...there's only one you need: https://stillfleet.com/. Poke around and you'll find everything from character/adventure generators to available TTRPG products to their Patreon page.

Questlandia: Part Two
No, your eyes don't deceive you - this is a nearly two-hour episode! I think this is the longest episode we've ever put out, and boy howdy is it a strange and wonderful one. Returning guests CJ and Matt join Rich and Nate for the exciting conclusion to our Questlandia actual play set in the weird west. We hope you enjoy it and that you'll join us next week for our Inn Between in which we talk about the game and the western genre as a whole.

Questlandia: Part One
After interviewing Hannah Shaffer, we knew we had to play Turtlebun's Questlandia (https://turtlebun.itch.io/questlandia). This episode has everything you need, provided what you need is a town built around drinking bug pee, social upheaval, questionable casting choices, and not a small amount of IMDB trivia.
This first episode has all our world building and character creation, so enjoy it and make sure you come back next week when we play through the world we created. I'm a big fan of how it turned out and I hope you all enjoy. Thanks for listening!

Corner Office: Part Two
Hello, Actioneers! It has recently come to management's attention that many of you are using this podcast as a means of distracting yourself from the doldrums of the day. This is unacceptable. Doldrums and depression suffered by our employees are not to be remedied by entertainment. They are to be suffered through in stoic silence as the only true cure for misery is a love of hard work and a dedication to Company Co. Be Glad You're Sad! Let the triviality of an existence spent within your cube inspire you to achieve great things, not for yourself but for our shareholders! And remember, the beatings will continue until morale improves.
Once again, we want to give a special adulation to our Actioneer Conan the Lybarian (@Conan_Lybarian) for working through his lunch hours to come up with the game we're playing this week, Corner Office. If you see Conan in the halls or by the water cooler, make sure you give him a firm pat on the back and let him know what a good job he did. Of course, please do not exceed the single pat on the back. Two or more pats on the back will be considered harassment and/or assault and perpetrators of such acts will be subject to the Disciplinary Board. If you would like to have a positive fiscal impact on Conan's bottom line, please consider picking up a copy of Corner Office from his itch.io page: https://conan-lybarian.itch.io/corner-office/devlog/290350/welcome
Now if you would be so kind, please return to your desks before we have to release the efficiency wasps from the vents.

Corner Office: Part One
Good morning, you productive little worker bees! This is Nate from HR and I just want to thank you for your hard work and dedication in these troubling and challenging times. Though the apocalypse may be raging outside, inside the walls of Company Co. Headquarters, our only concerns should be promoting a synergy-focused work environment and seeking new avenues of revenue development.

One Shot: This Game Takes Place in Your Home Town
Richard and I haven't had the chance to hang out face-to-face recently, what with the move and all. We thought we'd remedy that with a good ol' fashion Jenga-based TTRPG! Last time, we played the excellent Wickies and made it all the way to the end of the game without dying somehow. Can we push our luck again and come survive the fall of our hometown? Will our Jenga tower collapse just like society has? Can soup cans float in water?
Tune in and find out for yourself!
...also, no. Soup cans do not float in water. Shoutout to a mysterious Twitter user known only as The Scientist for conducting an experiment to prove once and for all soup cans cannot float. More like cant's of soup, amirite?

Richard is the greatest and best friend, cohost, and editor a podcast could hope for. Melanie and Cory? Their love is like a beacon and their creativity shines with equal brightness? And Nate? Nate's okay.

Kids on Bikes: A-MAIZE-ing Adventures Part One
Hello you sweet and wonderful listeners! Cory, Melanie, Richard, and Nate got together via Al Gore's internet to play Jonathan Gilmour & Doug Levandowski's Kids on Bikes. If you're a fan of 80s popular media and yearn for a simpler, more monster-y time, I can't recommend Kinds on Bikes enough. The system is simple and narrative-focused but unlike many other story-centric TTRPGs, not without important choices and exciting rolls.
If that sounds like something you'd be into, treat yourself (and Jonathan and Doug, for that matter) by grabbing a copy from Renegade Games today: https://renegadegamestudios.com/kids-on-bikes/
And make sure you come back next week for the wild conclusion to our game!

One Shot: Purplest Prose - Maiden Voyage
Aww yeah it's that time of year again and your favorite boys are back with another romantic tale to give you that lovin' feeling. This year we played Pammu's (@TheDovetailor) "Purplest Prose", which the author describes as "a game about coming together to write the trashiest romance stories you can think of!"
I think we absolutely achieved the trash part of that.
If you want to grab a copy of this game for yourself and/or support a fantastic indie author, head to Pammu's itch page - https://thedovetailor.itch.io/. We can't wait to see what she publishes next.
And of course, thanks again to special guests and Patrons Cory (@BoondockJoker) and Zac (@Conan_Lybarian) for joining us!

The Inn Between: Designing Adventures with...Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards!?
Each day we move further from God's light, and there's been no greater evidence of late than this episode. Richard, Cory, Ryan, and Nate sat down to paw through a ziploc bag of old Yu-Gi-Oh cards and then did their best to come up with a cohesive story. It was like trying to knit a sweater out of spaghetti. Or play soccer with a bowling ball. But dammit, in the end we did it, wet sweater and broken toes and all.
Enjoy!

Hearthside Chat with Cat McDonald of Peach Garden Games
Howdy folks! We sat with Cat to chat about this and that. Okay I promise never to to that again. Cat is an amazing asset to the TTRPG community, both as a designer and as a facilitator of the Solo But Not Alone charity bundles on itch.io.
As of today (1/30/22), Cat's raised over $50,000 over the past two years in support of Jasper's Game Day, a wonderful charity focusing on suicide prevention. If you'd like to support this worthy cause and grab over 100 solo RPGs, head here and give what you can: https://itch.io/b/1227/solo-but-not-alone-2
And hey, maybe look through the past few weeks of reviews over on www.podofblunders.com where we've been reviewing games from the bundle. There's so much quality stuff that we'll keep on reviewing these games until the sale ends in March.
If you want to check out some of Cat's other games, especially the FANTASTIC Heroic Chord, head to their itch.io page (https://peachgardengames.itch.io/) and if you like what you see, let her know on twitter via @CatlingGun.

Marsh Attacks! Episode Three (5E D&D)
This is it, folks! The final episode of our Marsh Attacks! campaign! A huge thanks to Rich, Cory, and Jenna for sticking with the campaign through its conclusion and I hope you all had a blast! If you haven't heard session 0, 1, and 2 yet, I think they're worth going back for!
This will, in all likelihood, be the last time we play 5th edition for a while, truth be told. We like 5E but Wizards of the Coast doesn't need our help bringing attention to the game. We'll stick with indie games and their authors because there are so many amazing games out there that don't get the attention they deserve.
Like Lucha Libram! and Despite All Our Rage We Are Still Just Some Rats On Nic Cage, for example. Not that I'm biased...

The Tabula Initiative
After reviewing (https://podofblunders.com/2022/01/07/the-tabula-initiative/) Cloven Pine Games' "The Tabula Initiative" a few weeks ago, I knew I had to get it to the table. It's a great little game that's easy to teach, easy to run, and, as I hope you'll agree, lends itself to tell fun and engaging stories.
The story we ended up telling is not one featuring a heroic spy fighting against a corrupt system. Instead, Richard plays an absolute bastard. Enjoy!
Oh, and trigger warning. There are several allusions to harm to children throughout this episode. Nothing is ever graphically described or happening "on screen" but I want to give a heads up in case that sort of thing squigs you out.

Hearthside Chat with Riley Passmore of Black Marble Games
You need to understand how much I love Riley's (@GamesMarble) Rhenge setting for 5E. Living statues. Animal folk called The Cloven. A whole new, intuitive suite of tools to make exploration fun and interesting. I mean, every 5E gamemaster should head to https://blackmarblegames.com/ after listening to our interview and support such fantastic work!
If you enjoy this interview half as much as I enjoy Riley's setting, this will be a record breaking episode!
For real though, it's a hell of a product and definitely needs more love and attention.

BONUS! Jumping the Street Sharks: Jurassic Shark
Richard and I took a little time off to be with our families for the holidays but we didn't want to skip our scheduled weekly release. What's a podcast to do?!
Why, release another episode of our Patreon-exclusive podcast Jumping the Street Sharks, of course! Please enjoy our chat about the buckwild 14th episode of the mid-90s greatest TV show and if you like it, consider heading to www.patreon.com/podofblunders for more content like this!
Christmas One Shot: Elf Hard
Ho Ho How's about a wonderfully weird Christmas episode? Richard, Nate, Liam, and Ryan played a Christmas hack of Lasers & Feelings by John Harper, only this time our two stats were Naughty and Nice! Nate even wrote a custom poem for the occasion and Liam...Liam'd extra hard on this one. Please enjoy and if you want any other Christmas chicanery, check out last year's episode: https://anchor.fm/pod-of-blunders/episodes/Pod-of-Blunders-One-Shot-Santa-But-eo0cbj

My Girlfriend Has Turned Into A Car (And We're Escaping This City)
The only thing that compares to Richards hate of anime is his love for me, which is why he agreed to play Starshine Scribbles' My Girlfriend Has Turned Into A Car (And We're Escaping This City). This game is based on a 15ish minute section of the late 90's anime The Adolescence of Utena and I really, really suggest you check it out. It's fairly easy to find on the internet - retrocrush has it, though I don't know about the legality of it all so find it there at your own risk - but if you do watch it, you can skip to around the 1 hour mark and watch the next 15 minutes or so. It's...a whole thing and my life has been forever changed by watching it. Changed for the better? Only time will tell.
To find a copy of this game (or one of Star's other amazing games), head to their itch.io page: https://starshinescribbles.itch.io/
