Logo for the TTRPG podcast "Narrative Damage." The title is set against a black background with a glowing green circular sigil. The design features an open ancient tome, a red 20-sided die (d20) with a quill and sword icon, dragon wings, a UFO, and red tentacles. At the bottom, the tagline reads: "CRAFT WORLDS. ROLL DICE. TELL STORIES.".

Coming soon...

Narrative Damage is an actual play RPG podcast where your favourite authors roll dice and tell stories.

Plus - interviews with TTRPG creators and players.

'UK has been colonised by immigrants', says INEOS boss and Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe In an interview with Sky News's Ed Conway, Sir Jim says Britain faces profound political, social and economic challenges, among them an unprecedented rise in immigration in recent years.

What is it with old white billionaires being morons in who make shit like this up? When did it become acceptable to be so openly ignorant? Fuck off back to Monaco.

Hard fought but vital win to extend the lead at the top. Frosinone better team in first half but we slowly got on top in the second. Busio incredible. And the new boys all looked decent when they came on.

Thanks to the Herald for this article! And for that wonderful headline, although I fear they are boots too big for the like of me to fill…

On today's episode: VENEZIA ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!

(Plus we chat about some unimportant Serie A stuff)

Top of the table! Bit of a scrappy game in the second half, but given Stankovic literally gifted them their equaliser it would have been annoying not to win. 31 points from 33 in the last 11 games. And 2nd placed Frosinone up next...

To celebrate? 😂

Always great fun chatting with Vas.

And sorry to Pauls everywhere for my comment (but seriously, the protagonist of your space epic is called Paul?!)

This week we do that rarest of things (for us) - we praise Como (sort of...!) Plus, Fiorentina slip again, while Venezia can't stop scoring. And should Verratti come back for Italy? You know our answer, whatever it is, will be the wrong one!

It's strange times at Rigore Towers as there is an air of celebration and happiness with both Fiorentina and Venezia winning... Surely it can't last??

This was a fun episode to record - and yes, we did get a bit carried away talking The Traitors and reality shows... 😂

Niche #TTRPG post but absolutely epic "end of season" game of Blades in the Dark there - double crosses, ambushes, last gasp one shot kills and a forgotten God risen from the depths. What more could you want?? Stranger Things had nothing on this...

The latest Rigore! podcast is out, please share. A lot of coaches losing the plot this weekend and Venezia most serenely keep moving up the Serie B table linktr.ee/rigore

Brilliant win today - totally dominant. 7 of the last 8 and up to 2nd now. Let's keep going and get to the top of the league.

Was a lot of fun recording our last podcast of the year! This clip is from the game we played at the end, which showed off our guests' writing abilities in some new genres... 😂

Izzo is a player you would never tire of fouling. Just a moany sour-faced moron that thinks he's better than he is

KIKE PEREZZZ!!! 1-0!

Monza are an incredibly dirty team... We've been totally dominant again, but need to score when we are on top like this

How did we get here?! Genuinely never thought we'd get to 25 never mind 250 episodes, or speak to so many great writers that we've admired - including today's brilliant guest! It has been so rewarding and great fun growing this pod with @tariqashkanani.bsky.social -long may it continue!

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Loved speaking with Joe for our 250th episode (how did we get to 250?!)

Episode out now on Patreon, out Friday for everyone else!

Amazing! Though surely it is more an illegal thriller 😂
