So excited that this is out in the world! These 3 brought some SPICY takes that you won’t want to miss.

I had such a blast recording with these wonderful people. You’re not gonna want to miss this!

@shenuque.bsky.social and @captainkrail.bsky.social continue to break my brain (in a good way) with their choices. They both deserve employee of the month!

I've spent the last several months working on this and I couldn't more more proud. These brilliant performers made my life easy.

My personal no context spoiler for this episode...

These players were an absolute delight to have. Even listening back, I haven’t laughed this hard in a while

Wanna hear all about Thank God It's Doomsday? Max is hanging out with @koboldpress.com to talk just that! Hop on over to their Youtube page at 3pm EST to hear all the goodies.

Next up is Casey Papas (He/Him), the GM of The Badlands! Sonya Grimhart (She/Her) manages the warehouse. A major proponent of unions, the “Days Since Last Accident" sign is up to 36,472. All under her watch. She’s also got a thing for Dendra, a Kobold from accounting. Art: @wallydraws.bsky.social

Cast #1: Award winning Actual Play performer and editor @rowanmcstay.bsky.social (They/Them), plays Merrick Willoughby (They/Them), the Great Chantry’s Head of Company Morale. A practical magician by trade, they work with employees on their last strike to help them avoid getting fired…literally.

To follow up on this, here's my favorite note for tonight's session

This has been so fun to work on. You won’t want to miss it!

Still cannot believe this is happening

**The Badlands - Ep. 41: All In** is live now wherever you get your podcasts! Our heroes lay their cards on the table in a high-stakes poker game where secrets and favors spend better than gold. Salome embraces her married name. Wyatt gets his first convert. Hayden finds a card up their sleeve.

I've been so incredibly excited for this since they first announced it. The hold these APs have on me...

PAX East, I am in you! I’ve got Commander decks, so let’s play!

As promised, we’ve made a (non-exhaustive) guide to projects we’d like to support in this year’s #CRITAwards, shared in no particular order. Today is the LAST DAY to place nominations, so good luck! May all the incredible projects led by queer & trans people of color sweep their categories!! 🧹

Badlands Lore Dump 21 A long while ago, the Briar family picked up a one-eyed stray cat while traveling between towns. They named him Wink and figured at his old age, he only had a few years left in him. 32 years later, even the Briars don't know how he's still alive. Art @emorykj-art.bsky.social

If I may say so, I get to say the COOLEST line in this one!

Y’all this art is unbelievable!!

One of my favorite pieces of Badlands Lore Lore Dump 18: The United Service of Postal Sorcerers, or USPS, was founded as a means of delivering messages long distance when the Badlands were first being explored. #ttrpg #mail #dnd #MHH5

Badlands Lore Dump 19: Professor Portends was born on the island of Laterre, in the seas to the east of Threed. Why he left remains a mystery only the Laterrans, and Portends himself, seem to know. #TTRPG #Gaydad #DnD

Missed yesterday's lore dump... Which means y'all get TWO today!!! Badlands Lore Dump 16: The city of Twin River, so named for the Nairn and Little Knife Rivers it spans, was founded as two rival encampments, which merged over time. #ttrpg #LoreDump #DnD

Judge me based in b my top 4 Commanders 😬😬😬

Badlands Lore Dump 13: The Order of the First Ember, also known as the Church Inquisition, was founded by Arthur Blackwing in response to what he saw was a "slackening" of Church order. #ttrpg #DnD #loredump #MHH5

Badlands Lore Dump 12: The railroad connecting Threed to Echo serves as the backbone of the Badlands. Smaller rails split from it, but many rely on it for the import and export of goods. #trains #ttrpg #loredump #dnd

Does this really look like a face that would hurt anyone?

Badlands Lore Dump 11: The city of Echo was founded long ago by explorers delving deep into the mountains in the western Badlands. According to legend, the expedition head Tate Wilkins insisted the group stop there, attributing the decision to echoed voices in the mountain passes. #ttrpg #dnd

Sorry about missing the daily Lore Dump yesterday. Was on a 14+ hour road trip. I’ll make it up to y’all with 2 this after noon! Here’s some photos of a cute dog as an apology

The Badlands - Ep. 37: Dearly Departed is out now! On the road between Twin River and Echo, our heroes encounter a stranger attempting to free a desperate town from a deadly trio of outlaws. Featuring guest player Jasmin Malave of @twentysidedtavern.bsky.social #ttrpg #dnd

#mtg and #ttrpg people of Chicago, where are the places to play and see? I’ll be there this weekend!

Chicago people, I'll (Max) be in town on Friday and Saturday? Anyone want to meet up? Would love to catch a few games of commander. #mtg #ttrpg

Badlands Lore Dump 7 One of the major religions in the Badlands, the followers of the Church of the Eternal Flame believe that their souls will merge with the Flame after death, providing it fuel and brightening its light. #religion #ttrpg #DnD #Loredump

He's my bestest lil boy!

This week on AARPG Leftovers - We hung out with Max from Mage Hand High Five! We talked about their awesome, Western-inspired D&D Actual Play, acting, finding your gaming group, and coming to roleplaying through the medium of Actual Play. @magehandhighfive.bsky.social youtu.be/2yhq_XWUmig

This lil guy has been an absolute joy to play. And Emory did such an amazing job with the art!

Badlands Lore Dump 4: Hayden Kincaide has spent the last year adopting the mantle of The Stranger: a shapeshifting bounty hunter who takes on a different face for every job. They beat the real Stranger in a duel and have been masquerading as the outlaw ever since. Art: @emorykj-art.bsky.social

I think my favorite line I’ve ever said in The Badlands is said in this arc!

Whatever they tell you in school is wrong! Your best isn’t always enough!

Badlands Lore Dump 3: Salome was raised by the Briar Sisters, a trio of half-sisters and traveling folk healers. Salome has discovered a knack for fighting, but her greatest ambition is to hang up her sword and return home to her family as a healer. Art by @emorykj-art.bsky.social #TTRPG #DnD

Tonight on Leftovers, our Live TTRPG Talk Show, we’ve got @grampamax.bsky.social from the award-winning podcast @magehandhighfive.bsky.social ! www.youtube.com/live/2yhq_XW...

Encouraging rumors can only be a good thing...right? RIGHT!?
