Tabletop Book Club my beloved,,,, @tabletopbookclub.bsky.social

even though I’m not gonna be a host of ttrpgbc anymore, I still want y’all to support this show with everything you have. it was a joy to work on and I’m sure will continue to be a joy to listen to post hiatus :>

So, it's been a little while. Here's an explanation for that (kind of), and a heads-up that we're taking a brief hiatus, until at least after PAX: Unplugged this year.

month’s cursed again sorry 💔 hot guest “summer” returns in mid-october ❤️

i was going to say it’s unbelievable that this is a listenable episode but viditya’s like really smart and has interesting opinions so i shouldn’t be surprised. you should know that the cold open was initially 15 minutes though

God dang I had a lot of fun with this lol

This month, we read "This Is A Game About Fishing", a queer ecopunk belonging outside belonging game by Riverhouse Games, and discussed it with @vidityavoleti.bsky.social! You can listen to the episode here:

idk that i ever posted abt this anywhere, but i just updated the itch collection of games that we've covered on @tabletopbookclub.bsky.social, if you're interested in checking out the games we've talked abt over there!

shoutout to me running the zoom call for this ep from my phone bc my wifi decided to go out the day we recorded. still a very fun episode for a very good game with a very wonderful guest!

👀

Loved being on this episode to gush about Orbital Blues :)

This month, we read "Orbital Blues", a lo-fi space western roleplaying game from @soulmuppet.co.uk, written by Sam Sleney & Zach Cox, and discussed it with possibly its biggest fan @brianflaherty.bsky.social of @manysidedmedia.bsky.social! You can listen to the episode here:

There's a new bonus episode on Patreon (with a preview on the main feed!) Barclay is joined by his sister Sasha to talk Smosh, "Dread", and Smosh's upcoming live AP series "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!" In the preview, they draft dream lineups for WAGD. Tune into Patreon for the rest!

People talking about a game I made?? it never gets less surreal tbh!

This month, we read “Something is Wrong With This House” by @annalandin.bsky.social & @galacticjonah.bsky.social. You can find the episode here: open.spotify.com/episode/3ZjR...

no new episode today due to the Curse but that doesn’t mean you can’t still nominate us for the CRIT awards!!! there’s no time like the present (especially since today is the last day to vote)

One week left to nominate— keep us in mind if you’ve still yet to submit!

Due to what can only be accurately described as “a series of unfortunate events”, we will not be putting up an episode this month, but we will still be covering “Something is Wrong With This House” in May!

keep us in mind while nominating so my mom has something to brag about

Yet another game all my cool friends have played but I have yet to engage with! Excited to give this a listen later.

I have never felt as cool as I do right now listening to Barclay, Bee, and Finch talk about Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes! 🤩 Thanks so much for spending time with the game!

i haven't gotten a chance to read this game but the way bee wrote about it IMMEDIATELY made me want to play it (& tyler's games are all awesome so nobody's shocked by this)

Getting to talk about a game I adore, @ratwave.bsky.social's TRANSGENDER DEATHMATCH LEGEND II, was genuinely a highlight of my PAX experience

not to toot my own horn but i am incredibly happy with this episode & the way that we’ve grown in this year. thanks for this wonderful year of games 🫶

I love your game @guhrilling.bsky.social !!!

I think my segment is a great middle ground between actually talking about the game and being a silly goose
