Is Expensive Art Necessary for success in RPGs? Episode 202
Art for tabletop RPGS is not technically necessary but it does help. Chris and I discuss the role of art in RPGs and review Art by Nohr, a book by Mork Borg co-creator, Johan Nohr. We’re experimenting with video with this episode, so subscribe to us on Youtube for Gencon coverage and more!
Check out Chris’ Youtube channel where he discusses video game history and more. We’re doing a collab video so stay tuned for that.

RPPR Game Designer Workshop: Labyrinths of Lost Futures and the Modern Megadungeon – Concept
I have begun working on a new role playing game. It is called Labyrinths of Lost Futures, a modern day dungeon crawling hauntological fantasy. Delve into weird ruins with an enchanted gun and cellphone. Fight cryptids in a haunted trailer park. Escape a time loop based on a person’s childhood memories. Caleb has some questions and comments about the game. If you want to see some artwork of the game, check out the RPPR Patreon. The image in the show notes is by Patsy McDowell and is one of the levels of the modern mega dungeon I am working on.
The Night Clerk is on sale at DrivethruRPG! If you missed the crowdfunding campaign, you can get the PDF now. I’m working on a way to sell print copies.

Ludonarrative Dissidents Season 3 preview: Hole in the Sky – Dungeon Crawl Classics
The Kickstarter for season 3 of the Ludonarrative Dissidents podcast is now live! Back it today to help us fund another full season of this podcast.
The Lady in Blue, a mysterious figure of cosmic power, enlists a band of simple peasants for a strange task. They are to follow an invisible bridge until they arrive at a hole in the sky – and then jump through. Death awaits all but the bravest, strongest, and luckiest, but the Lady offers a reward beyond all the riches of the world: the chance to change the very stars these peasants were born under, and thus change their destiny.
We’re reviewing our first adventure for this season! We played it as the finale of last season and now you can hear what we think of the adventure as a published scenario. -

Customer Reviews
Awesome podcast
I've been listening since it first started, years ago. It's great, the variety between different systems is awesome, and the overall cast is great.
Miss the “skits”
I found this podcast on Google (sorry Apple) and it has the older stuff. I loved the content until it suddenly switch format from parodies and skits to just another podcast of hosts talking. Went from something unique and funny to dime a dozen podcast format.
RPPR Something for everyone, and everything great quality
I started listening a few years ago because of some specific content that I was interested in. I have gone on to consume their entire library. There is enough variety to spark interest, and everything is good enough quality that you will find yourself enjoying things you would not have thought to listen to previously. On top of that, they have a good cast that plays well together and is interesting in their own right.
