    It’s really nice to have a podcast about TTRPGs that isn’t just character build optimization, campaign overview, or actual play.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The RPG You Should ACTUALLY Be Excited About
Q: What was the rationale behind calling the core book an Almanac?
The term signals a collection of core rules, setting, bestiary, and tools designed to help a group build a campaign—an all-in-one reference that mirrors the weather-forecasting, resourceful spirit of an almanac.
The RPG You Should ACTUALLY Be Excited About
Q: How does Break 20 function and why is it central to the design?
Break 20 acts as a mini-crit mechanic that drives suspense and enables both players and monsters to trigger special effects, keeping combat dynamic and unpredictable while reducing DM mental load.
The RPG You Should ACTUALLY Be Excited About
Q: Can you explain what makes Ruttigers unique compared to other RPGs?
It's built around old-school danger and grit but modern in its compact, readable mechanics, with a flexible class/rank system and a Monster Builder that creates a huge variety of combat and narrative options.
Upcoming RPG that KNOCKED OUR SOCKS OFF - Ft. Richard Whitters
Q: What can you tell us about the feel of the final book?
We aim to combine the feel of classic D&D books with modern mechanics, creating a game that captures the excitement of discovery.
Upcoming RPG that KNOCKED OUR SOCKS OFF - Ft. Richard Whitters
Q: What made you cross over teams there?
I was very much into home brewing D&D content, and when I left Wizards, I wanted to create my own game with my friends.
