The Future of Discern Realities Podcast

David LaFreniere and I have decided to retire Discern Realities. After nearly 70+ episodes, we’re not sure how much more we have to say about Dungeon World. The show has become something of a creative dead end, and that means it’s time to retire it.

We are super-grateful for all the fans who have supported the show these last couple of years. Together, we have been able to show thousands of people the awesome, exciting possibilities of Dungeon World and other Powered by the Apocalypse games.

So here is our game plan for retiring the show:

First, we’re going to take a couple of months off. We have a lot on our respective plates at the moment between Codex, Gauntlet Con, and other projects. DR will come back in late October with Episode 59 (hopefully featuring Danny Hood, who is owed a guest spot from winning the last contest). We’ll then spend November and December wrapping up the Basics series. We’ll end the show’s run with a big gala episode (Episode 60), which will air sometime in early January.

In the meantime, we hope all the DR fantasy fans who haven’t yet started listening to Fear of a Black Dragon will migrate over there (it’s a really good show, ya’ll). And, as always, +1 Forward and The Gauntlet Podcast are there for more general PbtA gameplay talk.

Thanks!

It’s late but it’s here!

It’s late but it’s here!

It’s late but it’s here! We’re crowdsourcing the miscellany for Codex – Asphalt. This miscellany is called “Three Dozen Stops Along the Road.” Submissions need to be a single sentence, or 2-3 short sentences at most. By submitting here, you’re agreeing to let us use it (you’ll get a credit on the issue). We’re looking for evocative things; the purpose of the miscellany is to inspire the reader.

Here are some examples:

“The Exit 33 off-ramp is ruined, and there’s more rubble than buildings out that way, but someone’s still tending the plants in the old nursery. Rumor is they’re willing to trade, especially for quality fertilizer.”

“There’s no sign, and the turn-off’s barely visible until it’s too late, especially in the dark, but if you follow the road back into the trees and keep your headlights off the whole way, someone you knew will meet you where it dead-ends.”

“Sonya’s Diner isn’t good, but the cook was a medic once, of some stripe, and Sonya’s both willing to look the other way if someone spends the night nursing a cup of burnt coffee and polite enough not to notice if they don’t seem quite human.”

Played my first game of Cheat Your Own Adventure yesterday and loved it! I want to play it with my nieces aged 7-12 but all the prompts I’ve ever seen are a little bit too grown up. Any suggestions where to find some more kid appropriate prompts?

Hey, Y’all! I hope this is the appropriate way/place to introduce myself.

Hey, Y’all! I hope this is the appropriate way/place to introduce myself.

Name’s Jabari! I introduced myself a while back but since then haven’t done much beyond lurk on occasion around these parts. After meeting a decent chunk of you fine folks at GenCon this past week, I’m going to be making a concentrated effort to change that and be more involved around here!

I’m primarily an illustrator for games and supplements for games as well as speculative fiction of the fantastic variety. You can find my work at www.jmwillustration.com if you wish. I’m also dipping my toe into the waters of game design in a public capacity, and you can follow some of my machinations in that realm at www.lunarveil.press.

I’m glad to be here and I’ll try hard to not be a stranger. If you met me at Gen or outside of it, or if you just wanna say ‘hey’, absolutely give me a holler!

Best to y’all~

Hello Gauntlet community!

Hello Gauntlet community!

Hello Gauntlet community! Being rather new to the TTRPG design space, my wife and so are looking for some assistance in getting our first (non/hack) RPG published. Mainly we are looking for reviewers who’d be interested in taking a look or groups willing (and experienced with) blind playtesting.

Truly appreciate any help 😊👍
