Down a Patrick, things get saucy when Matt and Art discuss getting horny... for RPGs. What it means, how it happens, and what makes it unique (among other things).

Down a Patrick, Matt and Art remember that Black Lodge Trivia Night is a TTRPG Actual Play podcast first and dive into a zero session for Swords of the Serpentine from Pelgrane Press. The first half is more of a Bookhouse Boys discussion of the setting and the Gumshoe system as a whole and the second half covers the creation of Art's PC.Quick note... this is not going to start immediately. There will be a stretch in the relatively near future (probably November-ish?) where it's just going to be Matt and Art and they wanted to have something at the ready they were both excited about.Join us on our Discord: https://discord.gg/tQGJVsrnNpFollow us on Blue Sky and X @BlackLodgeRPG and on Mastadon @ BLTNRecorded on 8/21/25Swords of the Serpentine: https://pelgranepress.com/product/swords-of-the-serpentine/Intro Theme: Dances and Dames by Kevin MacLeod.In session music provided by Tabletop RPG Music: www.patreon.com/tabletoprpgmusic(00:00:00) Intro(00:02:36) Trivia(00:06:40) General Discussion of Swords of the Serpentine and Gumshoe(00:53:28) Session Zero Character Creation(01:51:44) Post-Session thoughts

We get the whole band back together this week but need a little bit of time to get back into the swing of things, so we decided to try some Rosewood Abbey, a Carved From Brindlewood game of 13th century monks solving mysteries. Two quick notes, this is much more of a Session Zero... we barely start the story (see timestamps). And things go completely off the rails a lot since the three of us hadn't gotten to record together in a while.We had a blast and can't wait to properly get into The Rose in the Garden.
