This is an episode with an emphasis on action scenes, big setpieces, and the like.
HOME is a mapmaking RPG of Kaiju vs. Mecha, in which pilots step into the shoes of colossal war machines to do battle with invading monsters. Can they survive the battle, or will the Kaiju tear their home to pieces?
I sit down with the game’s creator Nick Gralewicz to find out.
Christian is an Award-Winning TTRPG performer, educator, and the organizer of The Force Within, a 50-person BIPOC Star Wars TTRPG streaming event. We sat down to play Clever Girl, a two-player game about the lone survivor a malfunctioning dinosaur theme park, and the roving band of raptors in hot pursuit.
Sean is a professional Game Master, video creator, and INCREDIBLE advocate for the world of TTRPGs. We sat down to play a faction-filled game of Worlds Without Harmony, a game of ideological conflicts, unanswerable questions, and the people caught up in them.
You’ll dig this episode if you like: Superheroes (specifically, the NBC masterpiece Heroes), inventive worldbuilding, folk heroes, and big emotional swings.
AJ is an Actual Play performer, video editor, cosplayer, and (like me) a wearer of many hats; you can most recently hear them on the latest arc of One Shot, playing Machine Impossible, and as a player on The Lurking Legends (a rotating GM, One Piece-inspired Actual Play series). We sat down for a game of Friendly Neighborhood Superhero, a game about superheroic action and protecting your community. We geek out SO MUCH about superheroes, y’all. It’s great.
Chris is a voice actor, actual play producer, and founder of Taíno Tales, an award-nominated, queer latine-led TTRPG actual play channel. We sit down to play Ironsworn Starforged, and encounter a horrifying discovery and a dangerous showdown on a snow-blighted wasteland planet!
When backed against the wall, will you stay human? Or will you embrace the rage and summon the power of your bestial form, to bring a wave of vengeance down on your enemies?
