    Reckless A-Talk: Brian Flaherty of Many Sided Media (My First Dungeon, Bitcherton)

    Reckless A-Talk: Brian Flaherty of Many Sided Media (My First Dungeon, Bitcherton)

    Hello listeners! Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.

    I am as always your host GM Nathan I use he/him pronouns, and this week we are extremely excited to to share our chat with Brian Flaherty of Many Sided Media!

    Brian does…lots of things. He frequently GMs, performs, interviews, edits, sound designs, produces, promotes - basically everything having to do with actual plays and podcasting, he seems to do it and do it well.

    He and the rest of the team at Many Sided Media have exploded over the last year with My First Dungeon, a show with rotating systems and rotating casts. He and co-host Elliot Davis also produce one of my favorite TTRPG interview shows, Talk of the Table.

    Most recently, Many Sided Media announced something that might of interest to Reckless Attack listeners who enjoyed our 100th episode regency arc - Bitcherton a new improvised Austen and Bridgerton inspired comedy show.

    In this interview, we cover SO much ground, including asking more of yourself, taking wild swings and missing, setting expectations, cheat codes, and the importance of backups, among a great many other things.


    As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.

    Thanks for listening!

    Reckless A-Talk: Lex from TitanomachyRPG (Caltrop Core, Nighthawks)

    Reckless A-Talk: Lex from TitanomachyRPG (Caltrop Core, Nighthawks)

    Hello listeners! Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.

    I am as always your host GM Nathan I use he/him pronouns, and I am so happy to present to you this frankly long overdue, very inspirational and very fun interview with game designer and shitpost legend and marketing extraordinaire Lex from TitanomachyRPG.

    We talk about this a little during the actual episode, but Lex started a little ahead of us in the tabletop gaming space, and was always someone I personally looked up to. Super creative, hardworking, consistent, and generally generous with their time and expertise. Plus, incredibly funny and thoughtful.

    Lex has designed many games across a variety of genres and systems, but they are probably best known for their Caltrop Core System Reference Document or SRD.

    As of last count at the publishing of this episode, more than 230 games have been published through Caltrop Core and the document has been downloaded more than 2000 times.

    In this episode, we talk about Caltrop Core, but also about self-expression, depression, perseverance, the importance of failure and growth, and shitposting.

    As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.

    Thanks for listening!

Excellent Interviews

If you're interested in the world of TTRPGs and/or actual play, this podcast is worth a place in your podcast rotation purely on the strength of the Reckless A-Talk interviews.

Just Another Brian ,

LOVE THIS SHOW!

This is just a phenomenal podcast. There’s so much care taken in every episode (and the interviews are INVALUABLE to anyone interested in TTRPGs). Go listen!

Amazing Podcast!

Reckless Attack is a truly delightful listen. The cast clearly enjoys the game, they bounce off of each other perfectly, and Nathan is one of the best DMs I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. The sound quality and technical aspects are impeccable and I’m excited for every new episode.

All that being said, 5 stars for the stacks
