Knave 1E can be acquired from DrivethruRPG or itch.io, Knave 2E can be acquired from itch.io in PDF or from Swordfishislands.com in hardcopy.

I also respond to a voicemail from long-time listener Ricardo.

Welcome to the Red Dice Diaries, where we talk about RPGs, offering hints, reviews and stuff to use in your own games.

I’ve recently acquired a book called Brancalonia which is a spaghetti fantasy campaign book using the 5th Edition of the world’s most popular roleplaying game; reading through got me thinking about what I loved in it, but why I probably wouldn’t run it as is.

In this episode I’m out and about talking about that very subject and also comparing it to another game Helveczia that has a similar vibe to it.

Both of these games are also available from DrivethruRPG in PDF format.

I’d really love you to get involved in the conversation so we can get some back-and-forth going on this subject, you can leave us a voicemail at: https://www.speakpipe.com/RDDRPGPodcast

Or email us at RDDRPGpodcast@gmail.com, either sending us a sound file or a written email.

Welcome to the Red Dice Diaries, where we talk about RPGs, offering hints, reviews and stuff to use in your own games.

In this episode—inspired by some #RPGaDay2023 correspondence and podcasts I’ve listened to—I’m talking about ways you can prevent your enthusiasm ebbing for an RPG campaign.

I’d really love you to get involved in the conversation so we can get some back-and-forth going on this subject, you can leave us a voicemail at: https://www.speakpipe.com/RDDRPGPodcast

Or email us at RDDRPGpodcast@gmail.com, either sending us a sound file or a written email.

If I get some response I’ll put them together in an episode with responses and we can hopefully get a really useful discussion going and learn something from each other.

We now also have a blog:

Our heroes return to New Seal Land where Quentin has some plans for the  criminal cartel known as the Crimson Coin, they also meet a strange  figure hoping to set up shop in their home town.
