Well it’s Judge James&#8217;s birthday &#8211; today, November 25th, and he has some questions. Not “Where do babies come from?” or “Why, god, why?” but “How does one navigate publishing their own RPG?” So in the spirit of James becoming older, we had some friends over to celebrate and help guide us and others, on the foolish journey of creating an RPG!

Episode 138: Publisher Panel

The smell of woodfire… the crackle of leaves….. The flash of ghostly presences out of the corner of your eye… the sound of Peter Frampton coming alive (wait… wrong podcast.)   It’s almost Halloween!  We’ve survived another year, another Game Hole Con, and tonight we bring you a bloodcurdling guest from the world of DCC Dark Fantasy…. An esteemed publisher, writer and youtuber, Mr. Nick Baran (even more terrifying, he also runs a merch booth at many conventions!)  Welcome Judge Nick!

Episode 137:  Summon Nick Baran

Hi-tech RPG campaigns take the fantastically magical and turn it into applied science. Tonight’s show is all space, computers, laser guns. The only swords we’ll be talking about are of the vibro variety. We&#8217;re going to dive into high tech games like MCC RPG and the various DCC 3rd party publications that bring sci-fi settings to the table in this month’s episode of Spellburn!

Episode 135:  The Funnel Revisited!

&nbsp;
We’ve been talking about it for years, we’ve been doing it for months, and now it’s time for a deep dive on Organized Play in DCC RPG!  But not with just anyone. No more, “But how does it work?” or “What is that, anyway?”  We went to the man himself, the Slime-Lord, the judge who’s run 1000 Insane Worlds, the expert on deep space turtles, the provider of Blades against Bandwidth– yes, of course it’s X-Crawl Classics’s DJ LaBoss himself, Judge Brendan.  ALL THIS, and we’re going to talk in the tavern, prep for GENCON (and Summer Knights Con), and much much more on this month’s Spellburn.
