Love it
I’ve been playing RPGs since I was 10 and have always loved seeking out new and interesting games. This podcast has introduced me to so many fantastic games and gaming concepts. The hosts are wonderful and it’s a delight every week. Thanks for the show!
Good podcast
Informative
CharGen front to back
CCC is the in-depth show you need covering the one of the best parts of playing TTRPGs: cooking up the peoples.
Where every tired, unedited, tryhard "actual play" skips this wonderful step, CCC goes hard in the other direction to show how players (and the designers who love them) make CharGen simultaneously work as:
- setting the foundation for the great story the group will telll
- a primer on the rules and setting
- a mini-game of its own.
Your hosts Amelia and Ryan are compassionate and caring, which I also do not hate.
A wish for the show to go from "great" to "greater": let's get some older games in here that also have wild and wonderful character creation systems! Where's the ep on GAMMA WORLD 7e, WFRP 3e, ECLIPSE PHASE, Conan 2d20, INTO THE ODD, et cetera et cetera? Drag in passionate fans as co-hosts if you have to! (I volunteer as tribute.)
