Episode 20: Pedant Party

from Rascal News Hosted by Rascal News

Um, actually, it's pronounced 'PEE-dunt'. This is the slightly grating but technically correct energy that Caelyn and Chase bring to this episode. After discussing more tariff nonsense, the pair discover that most of the news is a huge bummer and they'd rather delve into their experience creating characters for the Cosmere RPG. Caelyn talks about hidden information and futzing about in Foundry, while Chase feels trapped by D20 combat assumptions. Later, both of them fondly remember a certain green box full of mutants while traversing the Question Dungeon. Someone has asked about trad RPGs that should (or are currently) making comebacks -- why don't we see more of that? -- Games we discuss: DIE RPG Magic: The Gathering's Standard format Cosmere RPG Gamma World Traveller 1990s-era Dungeons & Dragons -- Hosted by Chase Taylor- Carter (@chasecarter.bsky.social). Featuring Caelyn Ellis (@caelyn.bsky.social).‬ Theme song by People Need Goals. Cover art logo by Johan Nohr (@johannohr.bsky.social).
