This week, we're breaking out our copies of the Fallout RPG by Modiphius Games. Join us as we give our first impressions of the system, along with some talk about character creation and the basic mechanics of Fallout's 2d20 system.

As mentioned in the episode, Modiphius has a free quickstart guide for the Fallout RPG available on their website. It contains all of the basic rules needed to play the game, as well as six pre-generated characters and a short adventure module. You can find it here: https://modiphius.net/en-us/products/fallout-the-roleplaying-game-quickstart-guide-pdf-free

This week, we're joined by returning guest Sam Leigh to discuss her newest game, Death of the Author. Join us as we discuss solo games and meta narratives, and spend way more time than we realize creating an amazing monster in the Monster Mashup.

As mentioned, Sam is a returning guest. You can find her on Twitter (@GoblinMixtape), or on Tiktok at tiktok.com/@goblinmixtape. You can also find her other work, including the Ennie nominated solo game Anamnesis, on her Itch store, https://blinkingbirchgames.itch.io/. If you want to listen to her first visit, where we discussed solo RPGs in a more general sense, check out Episode 107 here: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-2pqgf-135e5d3

Death of the Author went live on Backerkit yesterday (May 14th), and is running for two weeks until May 28th. It's already blown past its funding goal, but you should still go support it to help unlock more of the stretch goals.

This week, we're continuing our exploration of TTRPG biomes by exploring islands and maritime settings with special guest Eric Holden from The Goblin's Corner podcast. Join us as we discuss the hazards, features, and plot points you can hit in an island-hopping adventure.

Eric's podcast, The Goblin's Corner, is another TTRPG podcast devoted to worldbuilding, game lore, and storyteller tips and tricks. If you like our content, chances are you'll like theirs, too. Check them out at goblinscorner.com, or find their episodes on Youtube (youtube.com/@GoblinsCorner) or on your podcatcher of choice.
