🚨 ALARM 🚨 Part 3 of our Halloween special is out now! 🎧🎲🎃 This week, our three influencers burrow deeper into the HQ of the sinister Human Optimisation Group... It's played using the Anomaly Hunters system from @wendigoworkshop.bsky.social

And that reminded me that I explored exactly that question a year or so back (featuring the lovely Harry from @dicecompany.bsky.social ) and that it also feels appropriate for the season, too...

Don't forget to leave a review of our show wherever you get your podcasts ICYMI, here are DM Tom's definitions of each star rating... ⭐ Hot garbage ⭐⭐ Baggy nonsense ⭐⭐⭐ Average ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Boosted three" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The only worthwhile rating

Do you want to know what pharmaceuticals Missy is dispensing at will (also at Chester)? The answer may surprise you!

Thanks again to @wendigoworkshop.bsky.social for making the awesome Anomaly Hunters system Glad you're enjoying the show - especially Missy's antics! 😂 And thanks to @magpiehound.bsky.social & @maddambeltaine.bsky.social from @forcemajeurepod.bsky.social for joining the fun as players

🚨 ALARM 🚨 Part two of our four-part Halloween special is out now! This week, our trio of unhinged influencers delve deeper into the headquarters of the sinister Human Optimisation Group... 🎧🎲👇

The idea for our 2026 Halloween special came from our absurd Patreon pitches earlier this year - in which Alex proposed a dark timeline where Harry becomes an all-powerful CEO influencer...

A Shot At Redemption E19 - Hammer To Fall It's quiet. Too quiet... #ttrpg #starwars #actualplay

GM/DMs - have the players EVER done what you expected? How do you handle the chaos? And how much of your planning ends up in the bin?

Our very own @magpiehound.bsky.social smashing it out of the park with some excellent short fiction!

Once again I have infiltrated Dice Towers and left my Big Thoughts and Big Feelings (and love of incidental characters) scrawled over their walls. Here they place it on their virtual fridge as I go off to find more crayons to eat. Thanks to @alexmorrison81.bsky.social for editing assistance.

The brilliant @magpiehound.bsky.social has written another awesome story related to our Small Embers D&D campaign Check it our here ✍️👇

Who’s the greatest minor character in all of fiction? (books, TV, movies - anything)

In a vague effort to distract from doom scrolling can we all pipe up with a random but interesting fact please? For example, the Britney Spears hit Toxic was written about the irish supervet Noel Fitzpatrick.

In which Kip saves Kalro’s life. He’s lucky Kip is such a hero…

A Shot At Redemption E18 - The Numbers Don't Add Up Only one Leatherback remains, but half of our heroes are grievously wounded - will this first contact with the saurian threat also be the last? #ttrpg #starwars #actualplay

Bring Down the Sky Episode 06 - Death From Above! With alien monstrosities plummeting towards them and something even bigger and scarier blocking their way out, can the fireteam hold out long enough for Valkyrie to carve them an exit? Acid hisses and gravity warps - it's the Mecha Hack!

This was a fun exercise narrowing it down to 9. But I honestly couldn’t think of a collection which more perfectly encapsulates my gaming life.

Podcasters - how do you deal with negative feedback? Our approach is: disarmingly sweet (and of course learn if it’s constructive) You hate us? Fair enough and thanks for getting in touch ❤️🎲

My latest newsletter goes out later this week It covers the many (increasingly sophisticated) scams aimed at aspiring authors Sign up here 👉 alexmorrison.co.uk/newsletter/ #writingcommunity ✍️

Love these guys' stuff so much. I listened to this episode and immediately had to do a fanfiction about it.

🚨 ALARM 🚨 Chapter 112 of our Small Embers D&D campaign is out now! It's called... Dungeons and Baboons 🎲🐒

Are we going to win this time? Probably not. But at least then we won’t have to release a somewhat embarrassing video of me, Alex and various bottles of wine. So even if we lose, we win.

We've been shortlisted for "best gaming podcast" in the 2026 Independent Podcast Awards 🏆 Do we dare to dream? No, we've been hurt before - but we're allowed to post this nice logo 👇

Did I mention if we hit the 1k stretch goal I’ll be dishing out monthly free art raffles?

Criticism should be a conversation, a handshake between people who see each other's hard work and understand the labor of love is worthy of respect and care. Even if I really don't like something, I see their pride and smile with them. I strive to respect even that which is not my thing

Sneaky peeky of the first draft of the final set of the Small Embers campaign. @dicecompany.bsky.social #dice #dicecompanypodcast #podcast #ttrpg #dnd

Really interesting episode from an excellent podcast.

This week the brilliant @ecfriedman.com joins us to chat all about the history of actual play and why people watch. We also talk about what make shows successful (or not), as well as discussing some of the games she's been playing. Watch: youtu.be/d6NRlyknx2A Listen: linktr.ee/narrativedam...

Vander has big plans - but he could end up as a cautionary tale!

Through the shield and in their mechs, our plucky fireteam plummet from low earth orbit to their first target - a jamming tower blocking communications with Control. Reactors thrum and missiles roar - it's The Mecha Hack! #ttrpg #mecha #mechahack
