I get feedback from Jason and Riley about the locked dungeon door.
I'm pondering a classic D&D moment: the dreaded locked door and the failed lock pick. Does it kill the adventure, or does it actually make things more interesting? I share my thoughts on why I think it's the latter, and throw the question out to you all – what do you think happens when your party hits an unyielding lock?

The Arcane Alienist called in to let me know about an optional rule in Mongoose Traveller 2. I respond to that and talk about some alternatives before I go way off the rails and talk about ditching Traveller altogether.

Guess what? New Classic Traveller book! "Pirates." I'm both excited and nervous, which is pretty much how I feel about most things. I also go off on a tangent trying to figure out how I feel about Traveller in general. I mean, I love the game, but...

I wanted to do something to get us warmed up for the big Tunnels & Trolls mega-review coming up in March, so I'm rolling up a character in real time. We're going old-school with 5th Edition, so get ready for some classic T&T action. Watch as an old-school unlucky stat roll turns my planned Seraphina the Fairy into Clayfoot the Dwarf! I'll go through all the steps: rolling stats, picking a kindred, figuring out combat adds, ...
This episode is a bit of an experiment! I wanted to see if AI could actually create a decent TTRPG campaign introduction, so I put Notebook LM to the test. I uploaded all the details of my campaign setting and let the AI do its thing. In this episode, I'll walk you through the process and share my thoughts on the results. We'll listen to the AI-generated intro in the final 20 minutes. Was it a success? Tune in to find out!

Is D&D YouTube dying? Some YouTubers claim declining viewership is forcing them out. But I believe this is a chance for a resurgence of authentic, community-driven content. I discuss the negative impacts of chasing ad revenue and the rise of production values on the D&D YouTube scene. I encourage YOU to embrace the opportunity to share their own RPG experiences with the world.

I make the case that armor in Tunnels & Trolls is overpowered. I delve into the mechanics of armor in T&T, and offer two examples of why these rules are broken.
