In Episode 51 of the Titterpigs podcast, hosts Scott and Keith delve into several engaging topics: Scott returns from KamCon with stories and swag, and after a little catching up the Titterpigs dive headfirst into the messy fun of genre preferences and prejudices. Keith bares his ongoing aversion to sci-fi (is it the pew pews? the technobabble? we may never know), while Scott admits his eternal frustration at never finding a supers RPG that lives up to the energy and imagination of comic books.

Next week I’ll be sitting down with Shannon Appelcline, author of Designers & Dragons and the forthcoming addition Origins, a product history of Dungeons & Dragons from OD&D to AD&D 1e. If time allows, I’d love to field some of your questions. Drop them here and I’ll see about getting them answered.

Part one of my conversation with @drgonzo123.bsky.social has dropped. We dig into his RPG beginnings, the rise of Delta Green, the craft of mixing horror, story, and design, and realize the rapture has left us behind. 😅

Coming in part two, we dive into The Black Company RPG. 🤘🏻

Hi all. We are putting together a memorial video for @budsrpgreview.bsky.social and would love for folks to be part of it. It can be a short video reel, an audio note, some words to be read, or even just a photo, whatever feels right. If you’d like to join in, let me know and I’ll send more info.

If we are going to split hairs, then how about you get one-shot, we’ll get campaign, and then we can join forces and petition Oxford English Dictionary for a TTRPG suppliment. 👍🏻😅

@orcusdorkus.bsky.social and I returned to the studio this afternoon. The upcoming episode of @titterpigs.bsky.social is going to be a fun one. Teaser: Scott shares why he likes unitards. 🤘

Fair. Looking at its core, one shot just means something you do once. Considering folks have their own spins on it, best bet is to not wholly rely on it as a strict measurement of time, and just be up front as possible about how long you expect a game might run. 🙂

When you think about the phrase “I’ll give it a shot,” it really just means you’re willing to try something, not necessarily within a set time frame. But yes, in a hobby where labels are both frowned upon and expected, there’s never an exact answer to these questions…except how to pronounce zine. 😜
