This episode contains a review of Misspent Youth http://misspentyouth.robertbohl.com/ by Robert Bohl https://twitter.com/robertbohl. It also contains the details of a giveaway where you can get a free copy of both Misspent Youth and its only (current) supplement Sell Out With Me. Each misspent youth session is a story in 7 acts where a group of youthful offenders resist the machinations of an Authority. Its punk, its rules light, and its a blast. ReferencesCyberpunk v3 https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/3209/Cyberpunk-v3Fiasco https://bullypulpitgames.com/games/fiasco/Pump up the volume https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100436/Review on PodchaserReview the show https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/tea-tea-rpg-782033Review Episode 1 https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/tea-tea-rpg-782033/episodes/new-adventures-71504334Review Episode 2 https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/tea-tea-rpg-782033/episodes/002-ihunt-review-blaseball-pla-72000047

Its absurdist, and weird, and fast paced, and just wonderful. It looks like they are taking a break to upgrade the system a bit and fix some bugs, but I look forward to its return. Stare Into the Sun! https://blaseball.fandom.com/wiki/Hellmouth_SunbeamsI also discuss the Play By Mail games I’m planning. I’ve worked out a few things about the style of game I want to run, now I just have to prep the actual games. One idea is a Dracula style horror game where the players communicate as experts by correspondence, investigating a strange series of phenomenon. The other game I’d like to run is a Mindjammer adventure set in a heavily inhabited star system, in which players each take a ship and track down leads. If either of these interest you shoot me an email and I’ll start a list.Mindjammer https://mindjammerpress.com/mindjammer/Dracula http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/345Door Games https://www.gamesrv.ca/==========Saying No - 07:40Failing forward is a very useful mechanic, just so long as you don’t use it to cover any sins. ==========#iHunt Review - 14:55I give an almost entirely positive review of the #iHunt RPG from Olivia Hill. Its a game of Millenial Horror, literally horror involving Millenials, Its like Ghostbusters if they were working themselves to exhaustion in the Gig economy. #iHunt https://machineage.itch.io/ihunt-the-rpgOlivia Hill https://twitter.com/machineivFate Horror Toolkit https://www.evilhat.com/home/fate-horror-toolkit/==========Wrapup - 27:55This episode is sponsored by Sarah’s Realm, she makes custom 1.5“ key chains, necklaces, and pin back buttons.

I start it off by introducing who I am (Troy, former host of the Plus or Minus podcast) and what I’m doing (exploring Indie and Small press RPGs), I also talk about Play by Post games a little bit, and how they may factor into the show in episodes to come.ReferencesMarvel Super Heroes (FASERIP) https://classicmarvelforever.com/cms/Mystara Fantasy Setting http://pandius.com/Troika!

It should be clear from context. Sorry about that. Mutants in the Night https://oriondblack.itch.io/mutants-in-the-nightOrion Black on Twitter https://twitter.com/oriondblackBlades in the Dark https://www.evilhat.com/home/blades-in-the-dark/==========Free RPG WebringTodays freebie is Dungeonslayers!English Edition of the Game http://dungeonslayers.com/download/DungeonslayersEN.pdfGerman Homepage for Dungeonslayers http://www.dungeonslayers.de/7c9bXKIoHJucmCLqg2Y7

Wherein we introduce you to The Acorns! The mightiest adventuring company ever to grace the streets of Waterdeep… or at least they used to be. They are (in some particular order):Dani the UncannyFollowing a total party kill (TPK) of the entire acorns roster by a beholder, Dani the office manager in Waterdeep, is left as the sole employee, head wizard, and sole proprietor of “The Right Order of the Spear, the Staff, and the Oak”.  Dani is a bookish young Wood Gnome who’s just trying to get the order back on track, even if he is having to break the Gnomes-Only tradition… Rina RanthurthThe daughter of hill dwarf traders from the Rift, Rina was born and raised in the city, and has only been back to the rift once or twice in her entire life. Rina is a bit of a socialist revolutionary in priestly garb, and she’s taken up with a local Dragonborn Bard and decided that they are the one to play the soundtrack to her eventual revolution. After a night of hard drinking Rina snagged her bard and signed them both up with the Acorns hoping to make a name for herself, and more importantly her ideals.Prixan of the Sun HillsA flower child, Prixan was born in the communal hatchery of the Sun Hills sept of Dragonborn. A small community of artists, thinkers, and musicians seperated from the clan at large so as to prevent idleness among the clans youth, they are still seen as necessary for the entertainment and enrichment of the clan. Prixan was an unusual albino dragonborn, whose bloodline was Bronze despite their snowy white dragon-like appearance. The songs of the Sun Hills, the many volunteer “Mothers” who raised the communal brood up, and their largely peaceful lives had struck a chord with a bearded young dwarven cleric who’d agreed to let Prixan stay with her. Maybe it was the music, or maybe it was Prixans slim dragonic figure, or Prixans androgynous Bowie-like stage presence that attracted the dragon worshiping bearded dwarf woman.NeepsBorn to Mama Basilisk, the notorious noble girl turned elite assassin turned den mother of the Basilisk gang, Neeps strives to build a better life. An expert forger, Neeps has created another identity as Ahmedya Rodami, widow of the late (and fictitious) moneylender Willam Rodami. Trying to pull herself, and her twin brother Tatties, off the streets and into wealth and influence, she’s signed them both up with the Acorns, and secretly invested in several shares of the company through her alternate identity. A creature of Sarcasm and Sass, she’s going to make the Acorns work for her and her brother. TattiesAn Urban barbarian, Tatties disposition was born of fighting with his 6 brothers, surviving the machinations of his twin sister, and enduring Mama Basilisks understanding of cuisine. He’s not a savage of the wastelands and wilderness, but rather a savage of the cobblestone jungle, and back alley survival. Tatties knows the sewers of Waterdeep like the backs of his scarred hands. Neeps, his twin sister, has gotten him to sign on with acorns, he’s not entirely sure why but Neeps usually has a plan with these sorts of things. And on the plus side he gets to work with a cool dragon, and a Dwarf who doesn’t smell like a sewer. ResourcesFast Character GeneratorLady Tiefling Instagram (Kelzeon Homepage)Hoard of the Dragon QueenGangs of WaterdeepDM vs. GM InstagramSarah's Realm

The Character creation episode, Mark 2! Last time, on DM vs. GM, we announced that we would be doing a 5e game run by DM Sarah and played by GM Troy (me). This is the first episode in that series. Sarah will be running Hoard of the Dragon Queen. Over the course of this series I will take a party of first level adventurers through the machinations of mad dragons. In this episode we create the first character in the party, a Dragonborn with some interesting twists. In the coming days we’ll be posting the rest of our characters to the DM vs. GM blog. You might be wondering about “Mark 2”Well we tried to generate all the characters first and I grew a little frustrated with D20 era character generation. As I’ve said on the show, I pretty much checked out at AD&D 2e, and It took us almost two hours to make me grok it. You live you learn. Anyways stay tuned, because next week, since we are behind a bit, there will be a bonus episode with outtakes from our first go!Follow us on Instagram! http://www.instagram.com/dmvsgmD&D 5e Free no-art edition (PDF)AD&D 2e Players Hand Book, Dungeon Masters GuideCouncil of Wyrms#gamerparenttruthWizards (Film)Bastards and BloodlinesTony DiTerlizziPlanescapeBlackstarCollege of the OperaBahamut

Hello, this is GM Troy and welcome to the first episode of DM vs. GM!DM Sarah and myself decided it would be a good idea to start off our first episode by giving a bit of background on the two of us, the games we've played, our genre preferences, and our play styles. Specifically, this episode answers the big question "What got you into running Roleplaying Games?" And no, we aren't sponsored by Swedish Fish.Products Mentioned (Affiliate Links)Marvel Super Heroes (FASERIP)Deadlands Classic 20th Anniversary EditionDeadlands ReloadedSavage WorldsShadowrunBasic Dungeons and DragonsAdvanced Dungeons and DragonsDungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition 4th Edition 5th EditionFudgeFateFate Freeport (Fate but with D&D style Stats) Mutants and MastermindsAnimaHosts of DMvsGM.comDM Sarah is a freelance artist that can be found at SarahsRealm.comGM Troy can be found at his other podcast PlusorMinus.capheind.com
