  • A Journey each Episode

    Clearly, I’m a terrible Bard because I can’t write a review that truly describes how wonderful this Podcast is to me. Transformative! I was listening on Spotify until Episode 8 when Damh said to write a review on iTunes. TBH iTunes is the site to listen because the release dates sort and is easier to track your episode progress. As a new Bard, between your Gwersi, listen to this Podcast while you ponder the lessons. /|\

DruidCast - A Druid Podcast Episode 229
Q: Where does the Rivers of Awen come from, and what do you want players to get out of it?
Rivers of Awen emerged from a creative impulse to blend archaeological inspiration with mythic elements, offering a modular, story-first framework that supports diverse writing styles and character backgrounds, while encouraging players to engage with their own creativity and the land's heritage.
DruidCast - A Druid Podcast Episode 229
Q: Is that true that you are a role player to have an idea to create this system that we're going to talk about in a minute?
Yes. In my late teens I played Das Schwarze Auge, and later returned to solo tabletop role-playing with a focus on creating a framework for creative writing and storytelling that could support both solo and group play in an Iron Age setting.
DruidCast - A Druid Podcast Episode 225 - Y Mabinogi Special
Q: Why record Welsh myths for an Englishman?
The discussion revealed a belief that these myths transcend national identities and belong to a shared, landscape-rooted humanity; language and culture add depth, not ownership, and the storytelling can honor Welsh heritage while being creatively meaningful to a broader audience.
DruidCast - A Druid Podcast Episode 219
Q: How do you create new dances for performances?
A member formulates the dance steps and presents it to the band who helps compose the accompanying music.
