I have another RPG podcast, Ludonarrative Dissidents with celebrated game designers Greg Stolze and James Wallis. In each episode, we review a single RPG title or discuss a game mechanic. We recently completed season 3 and are going to launch a Kickstarter on October 13 to fund a fourth season.

Follow the Kickstarter campaign to be notified when the campaign goes live!

This live episode discusses what will be new for the fourth season. We plan to have shorter book reviews in our live episodes, along with special segments. To that end, I review the new Mothership bounty hunting supplement, Wages of Sin.

We’re also hosting a book club on game design, where each host reads and discusses multiple books with backers.

Watch the video version of this episode here.

The first three seasons of LND are on all podcasting apps. Search for Ludonarrative Dissidents to subscribe and catch up! It is also available on Youtube.

The Kickstarter for season 3 of the Ludonarrative Dissidents podcast is now live! Back it today to help us fund another full season of this podcast.

The Lady in Blue, a mysterious figure of cosmic power, enlists a band of simple peasants for a strange task. They are to follow an invisible bridge until they arrive at a hole in the sky – and then jump through. Death awaits all but the bravest, strongest, and luckiest, but the Lady offers a reward beyond all the riches of the world: the chance to change the very stars these peasants were born under, and thus change their destiny.

We’re reviewing our first adventure for this season! We played it as the finale of last season and now you can hear what we think of the adventure as a published scenario.

I talked with Greg Stolze, author of Reign, Termination Shock, co-author of Unknown Armies, and writer on many other books (and my co-host on Ludonarrative Dissidents podcast) about his new Kickstarter for Ships, a supplement for Termination Shock. We talked about the core mechanics for Termination Shock, game design, and crowd funding RPGs.

Back Ships: How to Build and Blast Them on Kickstarter now! Greg has his own Termination Shock actual play podcast, if you want to hear how the game plays.

I’ll be recording RPPR After Hours with Greg for the RPPR Patreon soon.
