Unto the Roll Podcast

I have learned that one of the hardest parts of running a conspiracy thriller across a long period of time is sitting on all the answers and tragedies and not having anyone to talk to about them.

Goodness, I may need therapy once Avatar wraps…

Unto the Roll Once more unto the roll! In this actual play podcast, Cole, Tony, Chris, Frank, and Adam explore and evaluate various TTRPG systems through short campaigns and syst…

Unto the Roll is picking up new rule books and systems, running short campaigns, and kind of sort of okayishly explaining the rules along the way. It’s a good time!

Actual play, in this case!

Another question for the AP consumers and producers!

I picked up Ion Heart because I love mechs and I love cozy. Do solo TTRPGS lend themselves to compelling AP material?

Is there even an overlap between audiences who want to hear and ‘learn’ ttrpgs and ones who want to experience solo stories?

It’s like editing, right? If you’ve done it well, no one knows it even happened 🤣😭

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?

#indiepodcast #actualplay #ttrpg

I'm going to be spending at least half the day editing the next Avatar episode, heart sinking with each cut I make because we already didn't quite get enough audio. Yikes

That sounds like a great place to start! Thank you!

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?~

#indiettrpg #ttrpgdesign #ttrpg

This looks really cool! If you’re still running these in a few months, I’d love to try it out with you and maybe a couple of the guys from our table!

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.

As far as other systems that have ‘handles’ like that, I can’t think of one off the top of my head. Truthfully I just read this and got excited to talk about it

The person who was born with with potential for great strength but barely trained it (6x3) is going to have a wildly different approach or thought process to the one who was born a little weaker but trained every day to be stronger (3x6). Mechanically, same score. Approach wise? Way different

2

I personally love that as a concept. It feels like one of those things I’d read in a book and then excitedly text my players about.

While it may not actually do anything mechanically, I imagine that for players who really want to get into their characters it could be a goldmine.

I’ve enjoyed Jason Cordova’s systems and works so far! I’m excited to see this one in action.

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?

#ttrpg #actualplay

And the fact that the book has a guide on exactly how to incorporate the results into the story just shows that James Quigley and Ethan Yen knew exactly what they were doing and who they were writing for.

I love the concept, I’m excited to see how it plays out in execution.

Oh that’s the worst. People definitely stay fairly wrapped up in the big two and get locked in.

I admit the systems are flexible and can do pretty much anything… but those specialty systems that just capture a vibe and do it right are *chef’s kiss*

PREQUEL by Glyphtide Games A tactical storytelling game of heroic sacrifice

glyphtide.itch.io/prequel

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.

#ttrpg

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.
