This episode we have on a repeat guest Josh Simons who has worked for D&D, DMs Guild, Magpie Games, Kobold Press, Mage Hand Press, and even AMC Networks. We chat about his indie superhero game called Paragons, marketing for TTRPGs and how he’s made his way in the industry.“Paragons: The Roleplaying Game is a dynamic TTRPG with heavy influences from animated superhero shows like Teen Titans and Batman: The Animated Series. The mechanics draw inspiration from a variety of sources, including the Year Zero Engine, Shadowrun, the World of Darkness games, the Powered by the Apocalypse system, and Pathfinder 2e. Paragons is easy to pick up and understand, taking only a few minutes to make a character and start playing. The game is designed so the mechanics don’t get in the way of the story or the fun happening around the table.Behind the mask of superhero fun, Paragons is about overcoming obstacles, the weight of responsibility that comes with being in the public eye, and the ever-raging battle between good and evil in the world and in our hearts.”Click the image below to support an indie publisher!Links:https://brokendoor.shop/pages/paragonshttps://www.joshuamsimons.com/https://bsky.app/profile/joshuamsimons.comhttps://www.dakotacurry.com/ This is a public episode.

This time I have on Blood On My Name co-creators Kienna Shaw (she/they) and Jason Cutrone (he/him). We chat about what I personally love about the game, what their process was for its creation, its inspiration, and what solo journaling games are as a medium.Blood On My Name is a solo journaling TTRPG that follows a former assassin on a mission of revenge. Delve into a shadowy underworld filled with espionage and intrigue, connect to former professional associates, explore clandestine locales, and eliminate anyone and anything that stands between you and your target.If you choose to support this game, you receive your copy immediately and can start playing it tonight. Supporting indie games is important for so many reasons - and I do not receive any kickbacks for this podcast - I just simply love the game and I’m excited about it. Click on the images below to check it out!Inspired by the films of Chad Stahelski (the John Wick film franchise) and the spy fiction works of John le Carré (The Karla Trilogy) and Ian Fleming (The Bond Series), this game is not about fame or glory. It's about vengeance. Violence. The depths that you're willing to sink to, when everything that you love is dead and all that's left is the pain of that loss. Death lurks in every shadow that Babel casts, and your character’s survival is far from guaranteed. TAKE YOUR REVENGE, OR DIE TRYING.This game builds on the Wretched and Alone SRD, utilizing a standard 52-card deck and a block tower. It introduces new injury mechanics to further test your willpower, as well as a "crosshair" mechanic for drawing closer to your target and planning your way out when the job is done. 52 unique scene prompts will guide your story. There are many ways to die, and only one way to make it out alive.About the CreatorsKienna Shaw (she/they) is an award-winning Canadian game writer and narrative designer based in Toronto.
