Roleplay Rescue

Another conversation to share with you today, this time someone who has recently inspired and reinvigorated my hobby through his excellent podcast. While we did begin in interview mode, the primary focus of this conversation was to chat about fantasy game worlds and some of the ways in which those were particularly important to more Old-School flavours of the hobby. Kevin is the host of The Redcaps Podcast, the podcast where he dips his hat into the blood of his listeners and rambles on about Old-School roleplaying games. Hailing from Canada, The Redcaps first aired back in September 2020 and has, at the time of recording, just blasted through the first century of episodes - a true milestone for any podcaster. Beyond the podcast, Kevin uses his fame to raise awareness and funds for the charity extra life, a program of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.Big thank you, once again, to Kevin from The Redcaps Podcast for coming and sharing his thoughts with us!Game on!The Redcaps Podcast: The Redcaps Podcast • A podcast on AnchorORhttps://anchor.fm/theredcapsRoleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message:speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon:patreon.com/rpgrescue Email:hello@rpgrescue.comBlog:roleplayrescue.com MeWe Group:mewe.com/join/roleplayrescueor search "Roleplay Rescue"Twitter:@ubiquitousratRoleplay Rescue Theme by Jon Cohen from Tale of the Manticore:https://taleofthemanticore.podbean.com/

Admitting my discomfort with the Old-School label and talking about my own relationship with the OSR as a movement appears to have touched a couple of people in a helpful and powerful way. Two listeners have taken the time to send me not one but several messages on the topic and I am every keen to share their thoughts with you. But that’s not all. Today I also want to reflect on the journey that returning to the Old-School primer and listening to some interviews has sent me out to experience. I’ve made some surprising discoveries and perhaps begun to open a new chapter in my hobby.Thanks to Karl from the GMologist Presents, to Brian from I’ll Have To Look That Up, and to Jason from the Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast for the call-ins today. Game on!Roleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message:speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon:patreon.com/rpgrescue Email:hello@rpgrescue.comBlog:roleplayrescue.com MeWe Group:mewe.com/join/roleplayrescueor search "Roleplay Rescue"Twitter:@ubiquitousratRoleplay Rescue Theme by Jon Cohen from Tale of the Manticore:https://taleofthemanticore.podbean.com/

Special moments come along but rarely and today is a special moment for me. Sometimes we meet people with whom we share seemingly little in common and then we discover they play D&D too. My guest today is someone from a very different background and experience of roleplaying games whom I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with. While our conversation was focused around the topic of Pantheons in D&D, the conversation roamed far and wide giving me much to think about.Ron Ogden is the CEO of The Dungeon Society, a tabletop RPG company seeking to “give every GM a creative toolset to make the storytelling process convenient and unique.” Ron has been worldbuilding and creating homebrewed D&D campaigns for over two decades. His latest endeavors include being co-DM on The Dungeon Run (a popular live-play D&D show on Twitch) as well as "The Chronicle" for Heroic Story (a creator-led community that unites artists, writers, and gamers who love fantasy stories and RPGs).Big thanks to Ron for coming onto the show!Ron Ogden can be found on:TikTok: Ron Ogden (@therealrogden) TikTokORhttps://www.tiktok.com/@therealrogdenThe Dungeon Run: The Dungeon Run - YouTubeORhttps://www.youtube.com/c/TheDungeonRunTwitter: Ron Ogden (@therealrogden) / TwitterORhttps://twitter.com/therealrogdenThe Dungeon Society can be found at:Home | The Dungeon SocietyORhttps://thedungeonsociety.com/Game on!Roleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message:speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon:patreon.com/rpgrescue Email:hello@rpgrescue.comBlog:roleplayrescue.com MeWe Group:mewe.com/join/roleplayrescueor search "Roleplay Rescue"Twitter:@ubiquitousratRoleplay Rescue Theme by Jon Cohen from Tale of the Manticore:https://taleofthemanticore.podbean.com/
