Episode 26: Orbital Blues
from Analytic Dice · host Kevin Borrup and Gabe Dybing
In this episode of Analytic Dice we start by playing the wrong message and end it by saying the wrong episode number. We re-visit ShadowDark for quite a bit before covering Orbital Blues. While we cover it pretty well, I guess we thought combat wasn't pivotal because we don't mention combat even once! Call in and you can bust our chops. Analytic Dice is a monthly podcast in which we, Kevin and Gabe, analyze a tabletop roleplaying game system or setting. Before recording each episode we will have played the specific role-playing game or setting under discussion. While there is no perfect system or setting, people do have preferences, and this podcast will explore our actual play experiences with different mechanics, revealing the great, the good, and our opinion on the pain points inherent in each system or setting adaptation.Check out Orbital Blues here:https://usa.soulmuppet-store.co.uk/pages/orbital-bluesTo comment or make a recommendation, call us at (860) 595-2544 and leave a message.You can reach Kevin on Bluesky @Saltheart.bsky.social, or on itch.io at https://saltheartrpg.itch.io, or by checking out his awesome BURN 2d6 RPG book at (a Golden Fez award winner!):https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/440073/burn-2d6-core-rulesAlso -- Check out my upcoming Kickstarter here:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/burn2d6/the-book-of-z/You can check out some of Gabe's writings at his secret blog:https://volcanicfortressofsurt.blogspot.com/ or, check out his latest product here:https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/473473/the-doors-of-night
