One of our big ideas in trying to capture the vibe of FromSoft RPGs in a tabletop setting is to incorporate map-making mechanics, to look at games like The Quiet Year or Microscope and tie them directly into more conventional RPG gameplay, so that you are creating a world as you explore it, in order to reproduce that feeling of cautiously feeling out a big, mysterious world full of tantalizing stray threads of a larger story.This is a very different mode of gameplay than anything we did in EIDOLON, so it makes sense for us to start here and make sure we can build out a strong foundation into these mechanics, so that once we start developing the more familiar facets of the game, we understand how they integrate into these newer concepts.Buy our book!Support us on Patreon!Join the Discord!

We're gonna need some new album art.We are still working on getting the show up and running at full speed. Until we do, we're going to be releasing some things that would normally be bonus content here on the $1 feed and the free feed the following week.Our plan for a while now has been that the Eidolon Era of this podcast was coming to a conclusion, as we got gradually more excited about a brand new game idea; recent events have caused the timeline on that transition to accelerate rapidly. Come hang out with us as we lay out the broad ideas behind our brand new Drawn from the Undertow RPG, THREADSPINNER.Buy our book!Support us on Patreon!Join the Discord!
