Dice of Doom Podcast 041: The role of Source Books in your Campaign, Interview with Sam from Tw33t_RPG, Mouse Guard first impressions and introducing kids to RPGs

Posted on September 2, 2012 by RupertG

Dice of Doom Podcast LogoIn this fibre packed episode of the DoDCast (good for you in so many ways!) we talk to Paul about his recent foray into teaching his kids about roleplaying games. We also discuss the role of sourcebooks in your campaign – just how rigidly should you adhere to them in your game. Sam from Tw33t_RPG joins us for an interview on his upcoming tweet roleplaying game. And, as a bonus, we include our first impressions of the Mouse Guard RPG, just because we’re nice like that.

    Thanks for interviewing me! I listened back and I didn’t sound too goofy, which is always good. A couple of updates for listeners: Tweet RPG has a new website – http://www.tweetrpg.co.uk, the secret event is actually now underway (Tweet RPG Arena!), and the next adventure isn’t going to be the next installment of Starfall after all – something exciting had developed! Stay tuned for news…

    I love Paul’s idea of assigning dice to 3 key abilities for a “rules light, kid friendly” RPG. Super quick, easy, and understandable. I may try this with my kids.
