Summary

Welcome back for the final episode on the history of roll and writes! We'll start out the episode with a brief tour through the rather sparse history of flip and write games, then take a look at where Jaina thinks the genre is going, and wrap it all up with Jaina's recommendations for some FREE print and play roll and write games! So sit back, relax, and hold on to your petticoats!Timestamps: (1:42) - Letter-Bags (4:15) - Word Squares(5:47) - Sark(6:19) - Make 5(6:48) - Qwixx Card Game(7:08) - Qwinto Card Game(7:15) - Kokoro: Avenue of the Kodama(9:00) - Let's Make a Bus Route(9:19) - Modern Innovations and Where the Genre is Going(9:38) - Sonora(10:39) - Stellar Drift: Pull and Write(11:24) - Takenokolor(12:36) - Roll and Write Versions of Existing Games(13:38) - Twilight Inscription(14:16) - Increasing Complexity(15:29) - The Fox Experiment(16:26) - Creative Themes(17:30) - Rolling Realms(18:31) - French Quarter(19:12) - Luddite(20:15) - Where are Roll and Writes Going?(21:21) - Long Shot The Dice Game(21:41) - Sea Beasts(22:25) - Free Print and Plays(24:33) - 30 Rails(26:15) - Corinth(27:52) - Woodcraft Roll and Write(30:01) - Rolling Village!(30:58) - Bargain Basement Bathysphere(32:05) - The Simple Life(33:23) - The Blob That Ate the City(34:47) - Paleontologists(35:01) - Polyhedral Park Planner(35:57) - Dungeon PagesLinks and Sources (separate from BGG game pages)Letter-Bags Photos: https://www.gamesboard.org.uk/cgi-pub/gardpub.cgi?table=examples&pk=13305&command=viewCorinth (Google Drive link for PnP files): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1juhTYboh6Qoh3ENwl07tYrY_lu1gKG5g?fbclid=IwAR36962vNEY4f4MJRplHSjnxL-l_HxCQrkaL2gyPgRFd0VWUDxxIRu6i-zMDungeon Pages on PnP Arcade: https://www.pnparcade.com/collections/dungeon-pagesCreditsIntro and Outro Music: Comedy Detective by Onoychenko Music via PixabayTime machine sound effect: Sci Fi Disappearance by Pixabay Hosted on Acast.
