Here's the podcast version of the video chat I had with Daniel over at Bandit's Keep about Rule Zero and a bunch of other TTPRG topics. It was a great conversation until we were invaded and, unfortunately, overrun by racist hate bots. Still, we covered a lot of ground, and over two hours, before we went out with a bit of a whimper.

If you've spent any time on Facebook, you've undoubtedly seen the ads for Monument Studios and one or more of their #RPG music bundles. Every time I see their ads, I see a bunch of comments from people with questions about the included sounds. Well, I finally caved and bought the "all in" bundle today so I thought I'd give a selection of their offering a listen. Hopefully, this will provide answers for anyone who has had their interest piqued but needed answers. Join me for a listen. Show...

Hail and well-met, fellow gamemasters! It's been a minute since I've posted a hexcrawl video so I thought it was as good a time as any to get back in the swing of things with a couple of tips and tricks that I hope may help you have more fun with your hexes. Addendum: I got a couple of comments and questions on the original Fun with Hexes video that I thought I could address quick and dirty style. Got more questions? Shoot them to me wherever you find me! * Hexed Press on YouTube:...

I think Creature as Class (aka Race as Class) is an often misunderstood and underappreciated concept in OSR D&D. I make my case for why you should consider using Creature as Class in your campaign. * Hexed Press on YouTube: https://hxpr.to/tube * Become a Patron of my Patreon: http://hxpr.to/patreon * Buy me a coffee on ko-fi: http://hxpr.to/kofi * "Bent Worlds" Newsletter: https://hxpr.to/mrju0c

I would gladly take as my life's accomplishment to show dungeon masters the enduring utility and usefulness of random encounters. Inspired, as usual, by social media, I try to explain and educate on how to succeed using random encounters in your D&D, OSR, or similar TTRPG campaign. * Hexed Press on YouTube: https://hxpr.to/tube * Become a Patron of my Patreon: http://hxpr.to/patreon * Buy me a coffee on ko-fi: http://hxpr.to/kofi * "Bent Worlds" Newsletter: https://hxpr.to/mrju0c
