Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.
D&D as a game isn't really owned by any one company. While it is true that the brand name is indeed owned, the soul of the game is not. As such, there are plenty of flavours of D&D available that can accommodate pretty well anyone. Due to recent events and mis-steps from WotC & Hasbro, plenty of people prefer not to play the "official" brand of D&D. I thought that it would be good to talk about all the D&D that is still available to the community and discuss the more notable ones. To be clear, I am not talking about those games that deviate too far from the core mechanics of D&D; so no games that use 2D12 instead of a D20 or feature prominent player facing combat. While there is nothing wrong with these games, I want to talk about the games that aim to invoke very clearly, the soul of D&D. Tune in to hear what games I mention and see if there is something in there that might pique your curiosity.
