If you had to live in a tabletop RPG setting, which would you pick? Aaron, Shaun, and I discuss the many potential game worlds in which you could live, not just systems, but settings. Dark Sun or Ravenloft? Planescape? Shadowrun? Eclipse Phase?
I also review the finale of the Venusian Apocalypse, Beyond the Pale.
Nintendo has created a lot of memorable settings, from the Mario Brothers to Zelda and beyond. Thad, Noah, Richard, and I discuss what tabletop RPGs could work with each setting, from A Dirty World for Mario, Warhammer Fantasy with The Legend of Zelda, and a lot more!
Tabletop RPGs may be more popular than they have ever been, but is that enough? No, clearly not. We need to rip off more popular games in a shameless attempt to gain a bigger audience. Shaun, Tom, and I try to graft battle royale mechanics to popular RPGs like D&D and Rifts.
I also review The Four Riders, part 2 of the Venusian Apocalypse trilogy from Mutant Chronicles.
Here’s a link to that game industry article I discuss at the start of the episode.
