A podcast where we create and discuss homebrew content for tabletop roleplaying games, primarily Dungeons and Dragons 5e. Here, we try to expand on the options presented to us in the published material, to offer some guidance for aspiring storytellers trying to figure out how to make their big ideas become reality. Here, we stir the pot and lick the spoon. Logo art by David Sutherland - find him on Deviant Art: https://rb.gy/hqmjgo

This week, we welcome Pat and Lee from the Twitch channel DieselShot to discuss their new queer feminist sci-fi game, Changed Stars. Join us as we discuss some of the lore of the game, from reimagined races from Alien to space otters flying in massive interstellar superstructures, as well as a primer on the mechanical systems found in the game.
The audio quality is a little dodgy in parts on this episode; we had some minor recording issues, and I can only fix so much in post.
You can find DieselShot on Twitch at twitch.tv/dieselshot, and you can find Changed Stars at changedstars.com, or on Twitter @StarsChanged. Pat is on Twitter @long_spider, and Lee is @quadkorps.

This week, we begin our descent into the Windswept Depths of Pandemonium. It was a long recording session (happens when you keep buying old books and incorporating the information), so we divided it into two parts. This first episode covers the overarching themes of Pandemonium, while the next episode will cover each of the individual layers in depth.

This week, we are joined by Matthew Ross and Fernando Dominguez, the creative and artistic minds behind the D&D 5e homebrew website Abyssal Brews. We have invited them on to discuss Campfire, their new 5e supplement which finds the elegant middle ground between montage and random encounter tables for narrating and resolving travel.
You can find Campfire, and all of their other content, on their Ko-Fi shop, https://ko-fi.com/abyssalbrews. You can also visit their website, abyssalbrews.com, or follow them on Twitter (@abyssalbrews) or Instagram (instagram.com/abyssalbrews).
Matthew's shoutout was for the actual play podcast Mayday Roleplay (@MaydayRoleplay), and Fernando's was for Cartographer's Cantrip (@c_cantrip).

This week, we welcome Ethan H. Reynolds, the writer behind the new dystopian cyberpunk game Neon Nights, which has just released v1.4. Join us as we discuss his inspirations for the game and its simple yet immersive mechanics, the future of Neon Nights, and how Star Wars is totally a cyberpunk setting. We also have way too much fun in the creature creation portion of the show, ending up with a terrifying AI called The Siren.
Find Ethan on Twitter (@ethanhreynolds), or through his Linktree, linktr.ee/EthanRey12.
Ethan's shoutout this week was for Bogus Cheesecake; you can find them on Twitter at @bogus_cheese.

Merry Tarrasquemas! It's been one full year of podcast episodes, and we're here to celebrate with a one-shot adventure - specifically, Zikran's Zephyrean Tome from Candlekeep Mysteries.
Today's cast has James as the Dungeon Master; Ian as Ereshki, the orc champion fighter; Mary Crowell as Lawbringer Trebin, the hobgoblin war cleric; Mitch Wallace as Gimble Shadowscale, the kobold thief rogue; and C.R. Rowenson as Lady Serissa, the yuan-ti pureblood enchantment wizard.
We want to thank all of you who listen to our podcast for helping us make it to one year. We're just so glad that, though we're talking into the void, there's someone in the void who listens. Here's to another year of interviews, homebrew, and lore!

This week, we jump into the Pit and visit the varied layers of the Nine Hells of Baator. We talk contracts, the Fifth Element, and how everything is actually just Dante's Inferno, as we go through each layer in succession.
We've restructured the pledge values for our Patreon, and have opened up our Discord to everyone! Come on over and talk nerd stuff with us!
