  • Brilliantly Thoughtful Exploration of the TYRPG Love and Craft

    I love each unique episode taking me on a thoughtful journey of discovery and exploration of games, mechanical aspects, GM style, storytelling art, and introductions to many new brilliant designers and TTRPG artists and GMs- with love and enthusiasm!

  • A service to the community

    Marx does the essential work of providing a platform for creators who might not have one of their own. They shine a spotlight on worthy games that get buried under the marketing budget of other commercial products. They make space for conversations that will push the hobby in new and vital directions.

    This is the bleeding edge of RPG in the most beautifully humble way.
