    On #RPGaDAY2026 Days 17-31

    This is a very brief description of the second half of #RPGaDAY2026 on my written blog, Casting Shadows, in a table of contents style. The responses walk a line between sharing character ideas, exploring how games handle and encourage character and characterization, and offering some ideas about what those characters might be about. The incredible briefness of all of this may be traumatic for established listeners. Be careful to adjust expectations downward by about an hour. If you are in need of further information density, please consider watching our Event Closing video for your safety and well-being. We hope you enjoy this episode.

    On #RPGaDAY2026 So far: Days 1-16

    This is a brief description of the #RPGaDAY2026 event as it is playing out so far this year, with some tips and locations to help fight the tide of algorithmic suppression and step out of community siloes. There is also a brief survey of what I have been sharing on my written blog, Casting Shadows, in a table of contents style. The briefness of all of this will stun established listeners into a shocked state. Be careful to adjust expectations downward by about an hour. We hope you enjoy this episode.

    On Suspected Inspirations for the Delta Green RPG with Jason Connerley

    We hope you enjoy our discussion. If you are inspired to leave a comment, you can do so at SpeakPipe, on Spotify, or at the following email address: runescastshadows AT gmail. My guest for this episode was kind enough to join me out of a shared appreciation for the ⁠GoBag podcast⁠. GoBag focuses on covert action RPGs and maintains a lively tone of enthusiasm and a thirst for adventure. At time of recording they are in their second season and focusing on the Delta Green RPG. Jason Connerley, former host of the Nerds RPG Variety Cast, was kind enough to join me in this episode to talk about a variety of RPGs and other media which broke ground in the territory which Delta Green explores so well. These innovative games had to face similar questions and problems, and each has a unique voice in the answers they present. Jason and I hope that returning to look at these old inspirations might be useful to spark ideas and expand understanding about this genre which is thrilling for players, but hard on characters~ Topical Links from our Discussion: GoBag Podcast Homepage Stalking the Night Fantastic / Bureau 13 Beyond the Supernatural Dark Conspiracy Over the Edge Unknown Armies

    A friendly conversation about natural-feeling characters with SettingFirstRPG

    In this installment of the Friendly Conversations about RPGs series, I am joined by Erik Schmidt of the Setting First YouTube Channel, Blog, and Discord (Links Below). Our topic for this discussion is the interplay of setting, character, and player perspective to help foster characters which feel believable and lead players toward play that feels natural and grounded in that setting. If you enjoy where this conversation goes and how it gets there, I encourage you to take a look at Erik's channel and follow the link to the Setting First Discord.

    A Friendly Conversation on Character Social Inequality in RPGs

    This is a 1:1 conversation with Scott Welker, long-time gamer and successful game designer, and most importantly for this video: 30 years of experience in the Navy working his way up to the top of the Enlisted ranks. With titles based in Savage Worlds, D20, Year Zero, and soon a system of his own making. Scott is one half of @ThievesGuildGamingOfficial. Our conversation is an examination of concerns with representing rank and social differences in RPGs, things to consider when making them a part of play, perspectives to view rank from, and some suggestions for making it seem real enough to satisfy the needs of your group. Scott has written a game for Savage Worlds called Task Force Raven which puts the players in the roles of Tier 1 Operators and that plays its own role in our discussion. We do not discuss his Year Zero cyberpunk release, Neon Blood, but it too has fertile ground for including this sort of play. Neon Blood can be found here in an OSR version, and here for its YZE version. CONTACT ME: Send in a voice message via Speakpipe!

    A Frightfully Cheerful Conversation on Horror and Comedy

    Special Guests:   ⁨@OrcusDorkus⁩   ⁨ @RPGSean⁩   ⁨ @ThirdFloorWars⁩  Panel Topic: Running Horror, Comedy, or Comedic Horror - in the moment. In this audio-only version of our frightfully cheerful conversation nothing has been cut or lost, but the video version on YouTube has had some extra details, notes, and ideas added to it which you might appreciate. You can also see all the nodding in that version~ Games Mentioned: Call of Cthulhu, Kult: Divinity Lost, Mothership, Ghostbusters, Army of Darkness, The Laundry, Paranoia, Outbreak Undead, The End of the World, Delta Green, Liminal Horror, Rivers of London, and more Premise: What if four fellows with different views on horror in their lives and different approaches to humor found themselves in a chatroom to share their experiences with RPGs? Not telling war stories, not pontificating, but instead finding common ground and simple truths - like we do in a good group of gamers.

    On the idea of a "Better Game"

    This episode is another review of a post from the Casting Shadows blog, though this time the Wayback Machine is just taking us five short years (and a few decades of observation and experience) into the past. This time we look at a post based on the increasingly narrowing rhetoric around the technique of the Session 0 which tries to restore the balance required in that technique for long-term play. This time, the full post is presented before I get into any commentary from the present of the time of recording. Among the things in that commentary is a link to an earlier video on the same theme, but slightly different topic. It is linked below and is called Theories & Practices. It's almost a rant. One of two I may have recorded in all my time sharing RPG ideas. LINKS: A friend of the show, Patrick Mullen, on his Processing GURPS blog has recently referenced the Can I make my game better post in a post of his own about his process of setting up a new campaign. I think we need many such examples of the great variety of approaches and needs we gamers have and so I share the link here: Zero Hour Theories & Practices video mentioned in the episode. This video was recorded in 2014 in response to an uptick in extreme views in the regular cyclical confrontation between preferences between 'Just play!' and 'Elitist Theory instead of play!' ⁠ Can I make my game better?⁠ blog post on Casting Shadows CONTACT: Leave a voice message via ⁠⁠SpeakPipe⁠⁠ https://speakpipe.com/castingshadowspodcast.com Seek me out on BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/runeslinger.bsky.social Visit the written blog https://castingshadowsblog.com Check out other episodes of this podcast https://castingshadowspodcast.com Still using e-mail? runescastshadows AT gmail
