Welcome to Last Roll of the Week with Red Dice Diaries, where we talk about RPGs, offer hints, review books and other stuff to use in your own games.

I’m currently prepping to run The Enemy Within campaign for WFRP 4E, we’ve done a bit of character gen and I’m enthused to get started, but need to get myself up to speed on the current iteration of the rules. One of the things I find useful is a cheat or reference sheet so I’ve decided to create one using Obsidian Notes.

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 responses I’ll put them together in an episode and we can hopefully get an interesting discussion going and learn something from each other.

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 Helvecziathat has a similar vibe to it.

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

In this episode Hannah is talking about the potentially lazy stereotype that all women over 40 are evil magic-users.

Update 09/03/21: I originally put the title of this as "Harmful Hags" because I like alliteration (give me a Peter Parker or a Bruce Banner any day) and it sounded better than "Why Does John think all Old Women in D&D Games are Hags?", but a few people--including some rabid internet trolls--have pointed out this was a bit click-baitey so I have changed it. Although I did laugh when someone said that "overly PC" people like me were ruining the hobby, think it's the first time I've ever been called overly PC. - Title Music: Fireworks by Alexander Nakarada (Public Domain)

I had the good fortune to play in a session of Eldritch Tales (a White Box game of Lovecraftian Horror) run by the author Joe Salvador, organised by Colin Green of the Spikepit podcast and featuring a number of OSR Anchorite luminaries; whilst playing it I was reminded how much I enjoyed the feat system in the game and started to think that it could very easily be imported into other old-school D&D style games.
