• 'Cuz I'm Shiny: Metallic Dragons - Episode 163

  This week, we're continuing our draconic conversation by discussing the metallic dragons. Join us as we talk about ways to play with the "physical vs. magical" nature of dragons, the evolution of metallic dragons through the editions, and some interesting ways to implement metallic dragons in your settings.   I mentioned a video by TikTok creator Felix in this episode. Here's a link to the video in question: https://www.tiktok.com/@nobody.important000/video/7487847148566957367 Here's a link to his YouTube channel, if you prefer, though he hasn't yet uploaded this particular video to that platform: https://youtube.com/@nobody.important000   Josh (Lone Colossus Games) has launched a BackerKit campaign (not Kickstarter; sorry, misspoke) for Tome of Intangible Treasures 2. We had him on to discuss Volume 1 last year (Episode 135, HERE), and you can check out the already fully-funded campaign here: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/lone-colossus-games/tome-of-intangible-treasures-2-a-hunter-s-guide-to-rituals   The Solo But Not Alone 5 bundle is also still ongoing, and between recording and release of this episode it has reached its $20k goal! You still have until May 20th, 2025 to pick up this bundle, which you can find here: https://itch.io/b/2865/solo-but-not-alone-5. As mentioned, Sam Leigh's game Death of the Author (Episode 140, HERE) is included in the bundle, along with 106 other games. The bundle goes to support the mental health charity Take This!, so please consider supporting it if you haven't already.   Our website is live!

• Time to Celebrate - Episode 162

  This week, we're revisiting an aspect of a previous topic and talking about festivals. Join us as we discuss celebrations of all types, a food-eating contest minigame, and some ideas about how to implement these ideas in your home game.   As mentioned in the episode, we had another episode a little over a year ago where we talked about creating holidays for your game. There are multiple topics which overlap between the two, so if you'd like to listen back to that episode, you can find it here: Episode 129 - 'Tis the Season https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-dhbsq-14fc77b   The Solo But Not Alone 5 bundle is approaching the last month of availability.

• TTRPG Econ 201: Player Economy - Episode 160

  This week, we're still talking about the economy, but not the monetary kind. Join us as we discuss different forms of player economy, from action economy in game design to how to prioritize which (and how many) aspects of gameplay you want to focus on with your players at the table.   As I mentioned in the insert at the beginning of the episode, we were invited by Eric and Matt to join them for The Goblin's Corner's 200th episode. It's a bit of a beast, but we had an amazing time. Here's a link if you want to listen to/watch it for yourself: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OWNZHFIZIU The Solo But Not Alone 5 bundle is finally live!

• TTRPG Econ 101 - Episode 159

  This week, we're talking about economies. Join us as we discuss ways to use economy, currency, and wealth as worldbuilding tools.    The Solo But Not Alone 5 bundle is finally live! You can find it here: https://itch.io/b/2865/solo-but-not-alone-5   Here are a couple of bonus links for this week. First off, here's a link to YouTuber RamsesThePigeon's video about aluminum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob-PiPJBHdc And here's an article talking about bathtub gin and why it was (potentially) really bad for you. Turns out James was right about the methyl alcohol making you go blind; what I was thinking of was tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate, which can cause partial paralysis or death.   Our website is live!
