Colostle episode 5 day! Sybil ventures out into the Dungeons once more and is almost immediately forced to save another stranger from a Spectral Rook from within its own Fostle husk!

Bonus Halloween episode! As joked about in our Valentine's Day one-shot, my wife Lynn and I played a "spooky season" Star Crossed game of a house and the ghost who wants to haunt it. It is 0% spooky, and a whole lot more cutesy (and a tiny bit sad). Hope you enjoy!

Fourth Tuesday (but not final) episode of October is a one-player one-shot of Spellbook by DValeris a.k.a. Edaureen Muhamad Nor! Based on the Lost & Found SRD, enjoy the tale of a sentient spellbook as it makes its way through the hands of witches!

Woops! Never posted when on vacation but I hope you've listened to my chat with @katethegreatcos.bsky.social about character, cosplay, and her channel @dkmcrpgs.bsky.social! It was a lovely chat and Kate is involved with so many areas of the hobby, she is someone you should definitely be following!

We're back in the Dungeons of Colostle! In this episode, Sybil and her two new rookling companions exit the Cistern and enter the Dungeons proper. But before Sybil can investigate and appreciate the architecture, one of the rooklings wanders into a new labyrinth guarded by a serpentine Rook!

This game has been on my "To Be Played" list for too long! The Librarian's Apprentice by @almostbedtime.bsky.social is so good! An infinite library? Easy to learn mechanics? Weird combinations of words for prompts and details? GIVE ME ALL OF IT! Get this game and start exploring these endless halls!

This was a tough one for a Mining Media, but I couldn't NOT talk about the amazing Expedition 33. It is an emotional, powerful game. And somehow I make it through the whole episode without mentioning Esquie once which is, admittedly, unforgivable, and I apologize.

This month's Perspective Checks episode is with Willow, @therpggoblin.bsky.social, all about what to consider when looking for a new game when you're branching out from the & game. Vibes? Mechanics? Setting? What gets you excited will go a long way toward knowing what games might be for you!

I only backed for the book and I STILL debate getting the box set for everything else. Then I'd donate my 2nd book copy to my local library... 🤔 I probably should!
Between @reneplaysgames.bsky.social Koriko podcast play though and @thebadspot.bsky.social review I’m kicking myself for not purchasing the boxed set from A Room of One’s Own.

100th episode of the Rene Plays Games podcast, fitting to go back to #Colostle ! I played this in 2022 over on the @dmsafterdark.bsky.social feed, and with the recent release of The Dungeons, I decided now is the time to go back for more!

This was such an excellent session and I'm honored to be part of this amazing series. Co-op Ironsworn really is the best, highly recommend if you haven't tried it! Unshackle yourself from the need for a GM and feel that narrative freedom!
New episode of Legends of the Sundered Isles drops today as I'm joined by the amazing @reneplaysgames.bsky.social for the pursuit of an ancient relic. Listen now anywhere you find your podcasts!

Lets talk the massively popular LitRPG series Dungeon Crawler Carl and what you can use from it at your game tables! If you haven't read it (or listened to the incredible audiobooks), I highly recommend them.

Fulfillment day from @loottheroom.bsky.social ! Blood in the Margins (mmm solo dark academia) with The Wonderfvll Discoverie of Witches & The Interview (a really cool piece of fiction accompanying the games)! I already next week's episode recorded but maybe I can find time to play another?!

Lets play another one-player one-shot! BOW by @hatchlingdm.itch.io is a game where you play a diver in an annual competition to sail out on the Gasillica Sea in search of old world relics & race to reach your marker first. Pairs well with their other Carta game Dragon Dowser, go check it out!
