Mastering Dungeons – The Secret History of The Secret History of Dungeons & Dragons Author Ben Riggs
Released on July 19th from MacMillan Publishing, The Secret History of Dungeons & Dragons, is about the real story of the world’s most popular tabletop role-playing game and Ben Riggs has spent years of research and collecting artifacts from the history of the role-playing business to bring us this amazing tome and he is kind enough to sit down with Shawn and talk about his own, personal origin story.
Gnomecast #145 – Steve Kenson on Twilight Accord
Join Jared for a discussion with game designer extraordinaire Steve Kenson as they talk about Twilight Accord, a fantasy TTRPG centering queer identities, culture, and heroes.
Misdirected Mark #480 – Making Lore Matter
Lore is the backstory to your setting. You could have zero lore or a novel worth of the stuff, but no player will care unless it comes into play within the game. But the question is how do we get players to care about our lore? This episode talks about six tips for accomplishing this. Tune in, enjoy, and let us know how you make lore matter for your players. Best way is in the comments over at our YouTube Channel.
