Kids on Bikes: A-MAIZE-ing Adventures Part One
Hello you sweet and wonderful listeners! Cory, Melanie, Richard, and Nate got together via Al Gore's internet to play Jonathan Gilmour & Doug Levandowski's Kids on Bikes. If you're a fan of 80s popular media and yearn for a simpler, more monster-y time, I can't recommend Kinds on Bikes enough. The system is simple and narrative-focused but unlike many other story-centric TTRPGs, not without important choices and exciting rolls. If that sounds like something you'd be into, treat yourself (and Jonathan and Doug, for that matter) by grabbing a copy from Renegade Games today: https://renegadegamestudios.com/kids-on-bikes/

Kids on Bikes with Doug Levandowski
We are so excited to share with you, a conversation we had with Doug Levandowski. If one of the roles of Rolling for Change is to identify games with the potential for self discovery and confrontation of the unconscious self, Kids on Bikes does this in a way that allows the players to totally bleed and be present. I think especially for those of us who are aging young rebels, this game offers an opportunity to explore your past and the stuckness that may come with the changes of our childhood and teen years. Either way, we hope this...

Place of Miracles - Viticulture - S1E1
Villa Milagro is a vineyard and winery in western New Jersey. There are green fields with trees along the edges, rolling hills on the horizon, and grape vines in nice neat rows. Chief winemaker Audrey Gambino takes us behind the "dream life" of running the vineyard. Romanticized visions of that job are what led Jamey Stegmaier of Stonemaier Games to create Viticulture, the strategic game of winemaking. It turns out that the thing that makes the game different from running a real business is the same thing that makes it pleasant to play. Read a full transcript...
