  • Amanda Silberling makes whatever a mail-puss game is, thanks Giovanni
    Aug 12 2024

    Amanda Silberling, tech journalist and podcaster, joins the podcast mostly to dunk on former guest Giovanni Colantonio, but also to brag about going to the Olympics. Inbetween all that, they make the game "Mail-puss," a game based on the prompts:

    • incredibly haunted,
    • Mail-puss,
    • Played secretly at a party or event

    The resulting folk game(s) can be played at any convention, party, or Olympics you're attending! If you're alone, play the name-based Mail-puss. If you have 8 people, then lean into the incredible haunted rumor-mongering version. Fun for all ages and number of players!

    Hear more of Amanda Silberling's voice on her podcast Wow, If True.

  • Lin Codega makes a meta-aggressive TTRPG
    Aug 5 2024

    Lin Codega, games journalist and co-founder of Rascal News, joins the pod to make "Spiral Apotheosis," based on the prompts:

    • Addictive,
    • Last god in the pantheon,
    • Inscrutable, award-winning Eurogame

    Lin, using their expansive knowledge of what makes a TTRPG both award-winning and "Eurogame," lays out the groundwork for a game in which the rules are constantly changing, and both player and Last God are encouraged to be antagonistic with each other. It's just what DnD is doing, writ large!
