Who are we?
We are just a couple of nerds who enjoy the game. Ralph, who has been running games, and Conner, who has watched his father run the games and who has ventured out into the world to run some of his own. Together we talk about our passion for role playing and some of our adventures along the way.
Please enjoy this journey with us.
Show notes:
Heroscape: Age of Annihalation
Second re-release
The first was a crowd-funding effort from hasbro, and the campaign failed
Renegade Studios (Transformers and GI Joe RPGs and Axis and Allies)

125 for master set/225 painted
20 minis and 74 tiles
45 for smaller set/65 painted

50 for Terrain set
3 trees and 6 bushes
Why is terrain so expensive
There doesn’t seem to be overlap in minis
Releases in August
Daggerheart free playtest release
(recap episode about the OGL fiasco)
(Grab Candela Obscura to show off the gorgeous book)
Opening paragraph from website: Daggerheart is a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game of brave heroics and vibrant worlds that are built together with your gaming group. Create a shared story with your adventuring party, and shape your world through rich, long-term campaign play.
Sounds right up my alley
2d12 system
2 different colored d12s, one is hope, the other is fear
Roll both and add modifiers, then create a token based on the dice that rolled higher. If the fear die rolled higher, the dm gets a fear token to be used later
Works like dark and light side points in FFG SWRPG
You can roll success with hope, success with fear, failure with hope, failure with fear (so like SWRPG)
Both d12s rolling the same number is a critical success, no matter what number
The Lost Universe:
https://science.nasa.gov/mission/hubble/multimedia/online-activities/the-lost-universe/
An educational NASA RPG Adventure
Note: clearly written by nerds… Feels the need to justify the planet in scientific terms
They LOVE The Hubble
A Dragon stole the hubble from earth, so there’s an alternate timeline where there is no hubble. You play as NASA scientists from that timeline who get isekaied into the planet of Exlaris. The plot centers around stopping the dragon and returning the hubble
Things that I’m excited for:
