Friends for much longer than any of them care to admit, your three hosts bring extensive RPG experience from even before they met. For almost 100 years combined, they have played in and ran tabletop and live action games of every stripe. Since then, they have discussed, argued, kibitzed, broken down, built up, rearranged, and dissected every imaginable topic, frequently in living rooms in front of horrified onlookers who couldn't get a word in edgewise. The Tabletop Journeys project started as friends wanting to get together over Zoom to talk about the games they were running, they stuff that they had bought, and things that they thought were cool. And now, we hope that you do too!

    Dr. Homebrew: Using Roll Player as an NPC Generator (Episode 289)

    🎲 Can a board game become your DM's secret weapon? Dr. Homebrew puts Roll Player by Thunderworks Games to the ultimate test, using it as an NPC generator for your TTRPG table! Spoiler: the results surprised even him. 👀 In this episode, Josh dives deep into Roll Player's competitive character-building system of class selection, randomized backgrounds, colored dice, loot tables, skills, and attributes. He is looking for the answer to the big question every Game Master wants answered: Can I use this to generate rich, compelling NPCs on the fly? The answer? Well... it's complicated. 😅 Josh discovers that Roll Player is less a quick-at-the-table tool and more of a character development powerhouse. It's perfect for crafting long-term recurring NPCs and memorable player characters with real depth, narrative weight, and surprising story directions. Think less "random tavern owner" and more "the villain your players will never forget." He also walks you through Talise Visura, a harbor elf rogue built entirely through the Roll Player system, complete with a jeweled acid-splash dagger 🗡️, a magical haste robe 🧥, and a moral compass that points firmly toward gray. She's a free Patreon card for September, and you do NOT want to miss her. 🃏 Also in this episode: How Roll Player's 18-round system creates meaningful character choices that deepen any NPC Why group play and solo play produce surprisingly different results How the Tabletop Journeys team used a similar approach for Preservations, their Star Trek Adventures actual play A deep dive into the August Patreon card set. 10 pages of Harbor Elf subspecies content for the city of Bridgedwell, including species rules, a background, feats, and spells 🧝‍♀️✨ A preview of the September "Enchantments for the Common Man" deck Whether you're a GM looking to breathe life into your world, a board gamer curious about TTRPG crossover, or a D&D player who wants a new way to build characters — this episode is for you. Hit play, bring a friend who loves games, and let's build something amazing together. 🎮🐉 🆓 FREE September NPC Card — Talis Vizura, Harbor Elf Rogue Download her card (front + back stat block) FREE all month at patreon.com/ttjourneys starting September 1st!

    Colby Whittaker returns to talk Patrons, Pacts, and Pantheons! (Episode 287)

    What if your cleric, paladin, or warlock finally had a deity worth believing in? One rooted in real-world religious history, myth, and complexity. This week, the crew sits down with The Game Master's Handbook of Patrons, Pacts, and Pantheons author Colby Whittaker (@dm_hagiologist) for a conversation that just might change how you worldbuild forever. Colby returns to Tabletop Journeys for his second visit, and this time, he's bringing his solo debut book to the table. With two degrees in religious studies, nearly a thousand rollable table entries across his published works, and a passion for making DMs' lives easier, Colby breaks down why most fantasy TTRPG settings get religion wrong and exactly how to fix that at your table. We dig into: 🕌 Why D&D settings tend to default to either "Disney's Hercules" polytheism or fire-and-brimstone Christianity and what's missing from both 📜 How real-world religious history (schisms, sects, regional variations, folk belief) is weirder and richer than most fantasy worldbuilding 🧙 Why DMs panic the moment a cleric walks in and how this book rescues them 🌿 The Feywild, Eldritch Patrons, and how to make pacts with cosmic powers feel meaningful 🎲 Behind the scenes on nearly 1,000 rollable table entries drawn from actual history and myth 💀 Why your non-religious rogue might still pray before battle and why that's great storytelling 🌍 How the same deity can be worshipped in radically different ways across your world (and why that's historically accurate!) 📖 The famous "Idiot Ball" theory of tabletop storytelling and why sometimes you have to charge into the room full of liches Plus: Gen Con debrief with Michael Ross, a new Patreon card deck for the Kudje species, and plenty of the TTJ chaos you've come to love. 🎉 Game Master's Handbook of Patrons, Packs, and Pantheons releases August 18th.
