The newest episode of Discern Realities is here!

The newest episode of Discern Realities is here! The conversations in this one are really fantastic, some of the best we have had to date. In the first segment, I share a bunch of wide-ranging thoughts on a new campaign, including the use of Johnstone Metzger’s Class Warfare. In the second segment, we talk about Oli Jeffery and Rob Bullen’s Alford Soultaker AP. The third segment is about creating a play culture that embraces adversity. In the fourth segment, we read another contest entry. In the final segment, we have a really fun, action-packed bit of play with St. Evelyn the White.

Enjoy!

This episode is a little longer than usual, but the conversations are nice and in-depth. Here is what is in this episode:

I reflect on the We Hunt the Keepers! DW campaign; we take a look at Ray Otus’s Plundergrounds #5; we go in deep on how to handle a miss on Cast a Spell, and the thematic considerations for both Wizard and Cleric versions of the move; we read two contest entries: The Orphan’s Kiss and The Joyous Pit (text for each is on the website); and we continue our AP of the story of St. Evelyn the White.

Future adventures include:

I have had a really stellar cast of players to this point, and I’d like to give them a little shout-out:

David LaFreniere, my co-host on Discern Realities and co-editor of the Codex zine;

Fraser Simons, author of The Veil RPG;

Lowell Francis, my co-host on The Gauntlet Podcast and author of the ENnie-nominated Age of Ravens blog;

Gerrit Reininghaus, who is one of my favorite Gauntleteers to game with;
