WotC Nixes A La Carte Buying on D&D Beyond and Other News | The Goblins and Growlers Podcast

Épisode 82

lundi 13 mai 2024 • Durée 01:05:55

A bit of a news breakdown today. Wizards of the Coast is surprisingly adding the new Core Rulebooks's updated SRD to Creative Commons. But then they juke in another direction and make some unpopular changes to D&D Beyond! Kobold Press issues has some things to say about the reception of their Black Flag Reference Document, and Josh compares *just how similar* it is to D&D's 5.1 SRD (spoilers: a lot).

Castle of the Winds and The Wild West of Win 3.1 Gaming | The Goblins and Growlers Podcast

Épisode 81

lundi 29 avril 2024 • Durée 01:05:13

It's simple this week: We play Castle of the Winds and talk about it. The game holds a special place in Josh's personal gaming history.

Castle of the Winds is a PC RPG/Roguelike from the Windows 3.1 era, which is a weird time for games. We get into this in the episode but, basically, Win 3.1 was very much primarily a business application and its native games were like a square peg in a round hole. All the good games were on DOS anyway.

Heckna! Heckna! Read All About It! | The Goblins and Growlers Podcast

Épisode 80

lundi 15 avril 2024 • Durée 01:05:52

Join the Revalia with "Heckna!" from Hit Point Press. This is a campaign setting that seems to take a little bit from Final Fantasy 6 and a little bit from Ravenloft. It's described as a sandbox setting, but there are a couple of arguments as to why it might not be. It's 300 pages, incredibly well done, and professional... which you'd expect from a Kickstarter that raised more than $600,000!

If you decide to pick up a copy, be sure to let us know what you think and whether we're totally off-base in our assessment.

Also, file your taxes if you haven't already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiSC5R3XAMo

Hasbro CEO: Let's Use AI in Dungeons & Dragons | The Goblins and Growlers Podacast

Épisode 79

lundi 1 avril 2024 • Durée 01:02:32

The CEO of Dungeons & Dragons' parent company, Chris Cocks, gave an interview where he talked about AI and Hasbro's research and development into how to apply it to Dungeons & Dragons. It's an interesting interview (link below the jump) that more or less spells out that they're likely to use it for some kind of virtual DM - but that's still just speculation. We discuss the likeliest manifestation of something like that and how they could make it work while respecting the work of human writers and gamemasters.

Also, we do a quick preview of the new "Quests from the Infinite Staircase" and mention a Humble Bundle for tons of great RGP books from Magpie Games!

Finally, if you're listening to this on Monday, April 1, tomorrow is the last day of the Kickstarter for "Born from Ice." Help them hit that Neanderthal stretch goal! They're so close. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lorenthegm/born-from-ice-stone-age-role-playing-5e?ref=c6djgl&token=7da324ce

NASA releases a fantasy TTRPG adventure? | The Goblins and Growlers Podcast

Épisode 78

lundi 18 mars 2024 • Durée 01:05:58

This week, we're looking at the new (free) system-neutral TTRPG adventure that NASA wrote and released to keep everyone hyped about Hubble. It's designed to be educational, but does its fantasy setting muddy that goal a little? Also, Josh updates us on the Vecna adventure coming out soon, and we respond to the longest YouTube comment I've ever seen!

"Born from Ice" Creator Interview: Stone-Age D&D | The Goblins and Growlers Podcast

Épisode 77

lundi 4 mars 2024 • Durée 01:33:48

Today we talk with Loren Small, the creator of "Born from Ice," a 5E-compatible setting with a few twists. It’s a complete tabletop setting that’s built on Fifth Edition but takes place on Paleolithic Earth. All cavepeople, all the time. Oh, and I should probably mention that there’s no magic, so everything is harder. It has some other cool aspects like generational play. BFI’s Kickstarter launches Tuesday, March 5 and you can check it out here (once it’s live). It’s coming with a core rule book, a bestiary, and an adventure path. I was excited about it even before talking with Loren, so it was great to hear how BFI came to be and learn about Loren's path to creating it.

Help! My Game Is on Fire! GM and Player Advice Live Show | The Goblins and Growlers Podcast

Épisode 76

lundi 19 février 2024 • Durée 01:14:11

Good Goblin Monday! Today's episode is from a recent Twitch stream that we did. We did a live online version of our "Help! My Game Is on Fire!" convention panel where GMs and players bring their tabletop problems to us and we offer advice on how to navigate them. These can be anything from handling bad fits at the table to untying narrative knots. It's always a blast and the experience is different every time. Hope you all enjoy! We want to plan more of these live-on-Twitch recordings for topics that lend themselves, so let us know what you'd like to see!
