It’s stupid. It’s dangerous. It’s got parent groups in a panic.

…and it’s the COOLEST thing ever.

My First Dungeon is proud to present...

SLUGBLASTER!

Sponsored by @mythworks.bsky.social

Premiering late March 2025. Stay tuned for cast announcements and more!

New character art for Tigers on the Wire? From our very own Omercan Cirit, perhaps the primary brain behind the looks of the #Wildsea? Well, I'm glad you asked!

If you’re not reading The Power Fantasy by @kierongillen.bsky.social then you’re really missing out.

Issue 12 is the start of a new arc and is probably my favorite issue of the series so far.

You can even read the first issue online for free!

Part 3 is here. The deep dive into the Ennies. If you're someone who doesn't know much about the Ennie Awards, you should read parts 1 and 2. But if you like a bit of inside baseball and are interested in award shows in general—this is the article for you.

No real spoilers, just my sense of how Mulligan's workflow and an expanded cast meets Critical Role's signature style -- what I think are the strengths of that collaboration, and the potential weak points I am keeping an eye on.

Today Dice Exploder kicks off a miniseries on actual play, where each ep we cover one moment of play. First up is @rowanzeoli.bsky.social on the very beginning of My First Dungeon's Orbital Blues series, and an overview of where AP is at as a medium. Plus: is AP a fiction or nonfiction medium?

It's a new series on Dice Exploder all about actual play. For five episodes, instead of breaking down one mechanic, we're going to break down one moment from one actual play show. This week: the openi...

Today in The Dice Pool (splash!) we released our talkback for the latest episode of Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast where we played The Night Market

This turned out to be one of my all-time favorite talkbacks as we discussed coming back to these characters TWO YEARS after we first played them.

Thanks so much for the kind words! We're really proud of how well that episode turned out. I think that was the episode that made us fully realize "Hey, we're pretty good at this" and made us start taking the show more seriously

So glad you enjoyed it!
