The Lands Remaining: Struggles

Struggles are on my mind because the newest episode of The Lands Remaining Podcast is all about them, and we're currently holding a writing contest focused on them. So, a quick thread about what is almost certainly going to be the most controversial part of this game!

Another question for the AP creators and audiences out there!

Music or no? Does it add to scenes, or detract from them? Personally, I don't think it actually does much, and have been ripped out of immersion by a poorly placed track.

What do you think?

For the people who have experience in such things: we’d like to eventually get to a point that we can interview writers and creators after we play their systems. Which creators are known for wanting to talk about their work on the record?~

I'm still looking for playtesters for What Haunts Us! I want to run as many sessions throughout this year as possible!

If you want to do some ghost hunting at any time in the year, drop me a message or fill out this wonderfully handy form!

New episode of Avatar Legends dropped! A Rashomon-esque jailbreak with parallel timelines? Awesome.

When did Lungdrol get a flying boar? Don’t worry about it…

Someone told me about the game ‘Let These Mermaids Touch Your Dick Maybe’ and of course I had to see if it was real. Then buy it. Then read it.

…it can never be on the show.

Or can it?

…no. No. Definitely not.

That said, y’all have some wild imaginations and I love what you come up with.

I’ve enjoyed Jason Cordova’s systems and works so far! I’m excited to see this one in action.
The first three episodes of The Lands Remaining Podcast are now available wherever you get podcasts. This podcast tracks the development and eventual release of my new game, The Lands Remaining. Check it out! www.gauntlet-rpg.com/the-lands-re...

Oh no, I log in and see lots of talk about TTRPG discourse being exhausting today.

I think I must have missed something… and at this point, I’m afraid to ask what.

We have a the next few systems we’d like to do 4-8 episode campaigns for.

- Daggerheart
- Blades in the Dark
- Veil of the Void
- Paranoia

My question is, what are some systems that lend themselves especially well to one shots, like Prequel and Brindlewood Bay?

I just learned about Prequel and immediately had to grab it.

Tony will be running Daggerheart after I wrap Avatar. What better way to start that campaign than by having a party of legendary heroes get TPKed by the BBEG?

…bonus points, making our group’s significant others play Prequel.

This is literally why we decided to make the podcast. There are so many cool systems and rule sets out there.

While Pathfinder and D&D introduced a huge swathe of people to TTRPGs(me too!), branching out and finding other cool ones and neat gimmicks has been an amazing journey so far.
I really wish people would play games that aren't fucking D&D or a derivative of it.
January 15, 2026 at 8:21 PM
Trying to develop an actual long term strategy for lineups and systems almost becomes heartbreaking when you realize that at the current rate, you’ll get through maybe one per quarter.

So many cool systems! So little time!

…no way am I switching to weekly releases until I have an editor…

Quick check in! We are trying to be a bit of an educational/system sampler podcast to demonstrate lesser known systems and their mechanics.

Which systems do you think are currently criminally under utilized and under represented?

From all of us at Unto the Roll, we hope you have a happy new year! Whether you’re making them or listening to them, may your 2026 be filled with all sorts of podcasts and shenanigans.

No matter how much they derail the story.

Yeah, I’m looking at you, Frank…

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Unto the Roll’s newest upgrade!

…yeah, probably should have started with that. Ah well, lesson learned. Enjoy some slightly less plosive episodes in the near future!

In Brindlewood Bay, you start out by investigating mundane murders and as the story progresses, you start to uncover Cthulhu-esque horrors. That was my inspiration for these intros with the initial one being a mundane opener for an 80’s Sitcom and getting progressively weirder over all 10
Episodes.

Fun present from the in-laws. I suppose I know what we’ll be doing as a quick breather episode once Avatar Legends wraps up!

I’ve seen a few people doing this ist! Here’s our two cents.

Ten TTRPGS we want to play/run in 2026:

Blades in the Dark
Daggerheart
Wrastlevania
Ten Candles
Paranoia
Mythic Bastionland
Of Dreams and Magic
Wanderhome
Sentinel Comics
Universalis

POV: you wanted to honor your grandma, so you played her in Brindlewood Bay and ended up delivering a calmly eviscerating monologue to the murderers at the end.

You did good, Frank.

Our Christmas episode just dropped anywhere you listen to podcasts!

New episode tomorrow morning! We’ll be taking a one episode pause from Avatar to bring you a very special Christmas Episode!

Look out for UtR’s playthrough of Brindlewood Bay’s ‘Jingle Bell Shock’ module tomorrow morning!
