TEASER - 2025 Year in Review

Matt and Rob talk about the Havoc System from Rowan Rook and Deckard, best known for Eat the Reich but also the framework for last month's Havoc Game Jam, which Rob (and a couple friends of the show) participated in! Come hear about this super simple, modular, high-energy system and how you could design your own Havoc game or just use it to come up with ideas!

The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft The Bright Sword from the bosom of author Lev Grossman, signifying by divine providence that DMs Matt and Rob, were to discuss knights, faeries, quests, questing beasts, and mythic fantasy.

The Neopets Role-Playing Game is the ideal kickstarter. It's got it all: licensed IP, lazy 5e mechanics, nostalgia mining, kitchen sink promises, missed deadlines, alleged missed wages, a combat system for a cozy setting, potential OGL violations, and drama! DMs Rob and Matt try their best to chart the history of Neopets, Geekify's missteps, the system, the playtest adventures, and the fallout. Plus, stay tuned for late-breaking Neopets News!  Neopians, hack or play these TTRPGs instead: Golden Sky Stories by Ryo Kamiya Monster Care Squad by Sandy Pug Games Ryuutama by Atsuhiro Okada Neopets TTRPG Links: Neopets TTRPG Kickstarter "The Neopets RPG doesn't need mechanics, just your money" by Lin Codega Update on the Neopets Tabletop Roleplaying Game (Update 1) Update on the Neopets Tabletop Roleplaying Game (Update 2) Music: Pac Div - Roll the Dice Follow Dungeon Master of None on Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/dmofnone.bsky.social  More socials Join our Patreon for bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/DungeonMasterOfNone   Join the DMofNone Discord!

Matt and Rob return to the world of GAMERTHRONES to talk about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which dares to ask "What if a Game of Thrones show was good?"

We don't have games, we got family.  Have you ever wanted to play a Fast & Furious-inspired TTRPG? John Harper (of Blades in the Dark, Lady Blackbird, and Agon fame) has got you covered. Welcome to Ride or Die, a fast-paced, double-clutching game where you are invulnerable as long as you are in your car. Look at this dope draft character sheet! If are ready to jump into your souped-up Honda Civic to stop a global arms smuggling ring that also has mega computer virus with nothing but the power of expensive cars and found family, then stayed tuned to Evil Hat Games for Ride or Die's release in the near future.  If you can't wait that long then head over to the crowd-funding campaign for Blades '68. It's Blades in the Dark in the swinging 60s. Groovy, baby!  Or, check out John Harper-recommend survival horror TTRPG, Liminal Horror, by Josh Domanski and Goblin Archives.  Salud mi familia!  Music: Pac Div - Roll the Dice Follow Dungeon Master of None on Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/dmofnone.bsky.social  More socials Join our Patreon for bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/DungeonMasterOfNone   Join the DMofNone Discord!

Matt and Rob go to hell! Hell-lite, anyway, specifically the nation of Cheliax, in Paizo's twin APs, Hell's Rebels and Hell's Vengeance. One of them is good and one of them is not so good, and you probably don't need to even listen to the episode to guess which is which (but you should listen to it anyway).
