Have you ever wondered what its like to turn your tabletop gaming passion into a profession? Judd Karlman and I chat about our extraordinary path from hobbyists to professional game masters (GMs), revealing the quirky, exciting, and sometimes absurd adventures that come with the territory. From hilarious bachelor party RPG requests to the broader implications of monetizing our love for gaming, we peel back the curtain on a niche thats rapidly gaining traction. Join us as we reminisce about our initial foray into paid GMing and how it has evolved into a noteworthy part of our creative and community endeavors. As seasoned GMs, we also tackle the practical side of running various campaign styles, including the nuances of open table versus West Marches formats. I open up about the routines Ive adopted to stay sane and healthy during long sessions at the screen, and we both reflect on the rewarding experience of watching players shape their own narratives. Setting boundaries and creating inclusive spaces for our players is paramount, and we share how we navigate these responsibilities to ensure that everyone at the table feels comfortable and safe. The episode concludes with a critical discussion on maintaining a safe and respectful gaming community, addressing the challenge of confronting broken stairs—problematic individuals who threaten the groups play. We highlight the cultural impact of phenomena like Critical Role and the excitement around the Dungeons & Dragons movie, emphasizing how they shape our approach to community building. Our conversation is an invitation to listeners to engage with us and contribute to a dialogue that prioritizes safety, inclusion, and the pure joy of collaborative storytelling in gaming.

Jolt #1 - Nathan is lured into a CHIMERA experiment as they trap him on the Buckman bridge to observe his abilities! Back home, it’s parent-teacher conference night for him Sarah and their kid Mason. OB stops by looking for a hanging-out buddy. And Danny “Red-Eye” comes looking for OB. It was a smooth session of #ChampionsNow, mostly - the area effect rules tripped me up a little. But We got to see Nathan put the slap down on some CHIMERA agents with his super speed.

CHAMPIONS NOW JOLT #2 -3 Nathan interviews for the super spokesmodel position at Door Dash but gets an emergency text from his wife and leaves abruptly! 3Pain, the witness protection assassin, has made a house call looking for Claire AKA Sera, Nathans wife, whos in the program. Later, Nathan and OB discuss OBs debt to Red-Eye, the wetwork job left undone, and a secret lab OB found doing that job. Next Jolt #3: Nathan and OB check out that secret lab with help from Cherry Bomb, Forbes CEO of the year! But they wont like what they find in that lab!! R/CAPITOLCRYPTIDS #5 -6. Anita, Raul, and Father Martin do a lot of legwork to discover who the old man in the video footage of the museum heist is and the location of the artifact that was stolen. It turns out Michael, Father Martins brother, has the artifact -an ankh. And the old man is some sort of mummy sorcerer named Asim. Bonus find: All the heist planning was done using a new app called Sieben for crime gigs! H/T @widdledragon https://twitter.com/widdledragon https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/littlewish/the-old-the-cold-the-bold/description Later Father Martin and Raul visit an old occult acquaintance, Papa Raam, to get his thoughts on the Ankh artifact. Their meeting is interrupted by a murder of crows and a large fire-breathing tengu with a spear - they all squawk the same two words. “Ankh. Give!” ROLEMASTER THE ORACLE AT SCALU. Our questing heroes discover a mass of folks waiting at the cliffs of Scalu to see the oracle. Visitations and payment are handled by Tava and her crew, which includes a rather hulking man, Brinanr, who sports a shield and ill-fitting helm that belonged once to a Deathless Regiment member. This is not lost on Deronil, likely the last of the Deathless. The heroes pay for a place in the Oracle queue while scouting out other temple entries. They find a cave tomb, and awaken the dead buried there! The finale in 2 weeks! TWILIGHT 2000 WROCLAW WINTERS had a by-week. I spent some time updating the Foundry VTT and thinking about VTTs in general. Well easily break 50 sessions as we move into the urban city sandbox and survive the winter.

My guests, Jason Lutes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Lutes and Paul Beakley https://www.indiegamereadingclub.com/, and I get lost in the West Marches https://arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/78/grand-experiments-west-marches/game style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Lutes Jason is currently running his second West Marches campaign using Freebooters on the Frontier https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/157011/Freebooters-on-the-Frontier and Arden Vul https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/307320/The-Halls-of-Arden-Vul-Completeas the setting. I get an incredible amount of joy from running West Marches campaigns, and geeking out with both Jason and Paul on the subject was good stuff. I am very, very sorry for some of the audio. I recorded using a new audio platform and discovered issues with Pauls audio in the recording that didnt appear live. Hopefully, my audio sorcery is potent!

Easily the week of the West Marches. Starting with my halfling wizard’s Arden Vul adventure to helping my local gamers launch their own IRL West Marches games. It’s got me thinking about other non-fantasy applications. On the Gauntlet https://www.gauntlet-rpg.com/playing-online-with-the-gauntlet.html, we’ve wrapped up a three-session run of Fading Suns https://ulisses-us.com/games/fadingsuns/ with Lowell Francis at the helm. He also hosted a Zoom talk about Legacy 2E: Life among the Ruins https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/237393/Legacy-Life-Among-the-Ruins-2nd-Edition. Best practices, some thoughts around running the game, hacking the game. Pretty much talked me into running Legacy again on The Gauntlet using some of these new insights. Also wrapped up Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nerdypupgames/rebels-of-the-outlaw-wastes-ttrpg with Micael Addison of Nerdy Pup Games. Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes has players exploring a hyper-saturated dystopian world thats being controlled by a tyrannical collective of powers. And the usual suspects - Twilight 2000, Cortex work on Lifted: Indomitable. Support the show http://www.patreon.com/madjayzero
Fading Suns Fading Suns https://ulisses-us.com/games/fadingsuns/ on The Gauntlet https://www.gauntlet-rpg.com/. Lowell Francis trying out the system, and you can tell he’s down his prep. I’m playing an Ur-Ukar witch with TK-like abilities. We’ve taken up a mission from a noble to be his escort and eyes and ears in a hostile system. Fading Suns has pulled at me for some years now; I’m hoping to jump-start my future runs of it by playing it first. At its core, it is a Skill + ability roll under system. This was our session one, and we got a small, easy skirmish under our belt so far. Into the Odd In Dragonslayers, using Into the Odd https://freeleaguepublishing.com/en/games/into-the-odd/, I play a reluctant tailor pressed into military service against the dragon empire. The dragons have won, and were left in the aftermath of many battles. This was mostly session zero, making characters and setting up things. Our first act next session is to free our captured griffin riders and griffins!! Judd https://startplaying.games/gm/judd also runs games out on StartPlaying.games https://startplaying.games/gm/judd, and I paid to play his Spelljammer + Into the odd game: Rock of Braal. I played a warden, one of two survivors off a gith vessel. The other was an Illithid captive. We both took on a bounty from a ghost pirate to recover his stolen goods. Into the Odd is a great system for getting folks in fast and keeping them hooked through the session. I forget I much I LOVE combat mechanics where there is a free & clear declaration step, followed by the dice then reading the outcomes! Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes - Session 01 Centered in the apocalypse of Florida, I play an ex-Imagineer, (ex-jackboot in Outlaw parlance) trying to escape my former employer. With the help of an Abe Lincoln animatronic, an Alligator-Man hybrid, and a gothic biker with electricity powers. We flee into the swamp -bogs of Florida chased by Imagineer security on hoverboards! Big thanks to Michael Addison of Nerdy Pup Games https://twitter.com/nerdypupgames for running his new game https://itch.io/t/2094215/rebels-of-the-outlaw-wastes on Actual Play! Champions Now - Lifted. The KC Defenders get stomped by Protheseus agents during a simple recon of the downtown train yard. The rail house was, in fact, not abandoned or empty. I still get a kick out of agents as hazard rules in Champions Now https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/310300/Champions-Now, especially when player characters try to ignore the agents! Sci-fi West Marches Reading the Gateway saga https://www.goodreads.com/series/49899-heechee-saga. Looking to use the premise of an abandoned alien space station and its network of ships and unknown routes as a column in a Sci-Fi West Marches game. Currently hacking BX via OSE to get the play experience I want. Prepping Remember Tomorrow Another Gregor Hutton jam http://www.gregorhutton.com/boxninja/remember/index.htmlthat holds up great n these modern times. It’s a cyberpunk RPG, GM-less, but best with a facilitator. You play troupe-style Gibsonesque characters at odds with various factions. WHAT DID YOU PLAY LAST WEEK?

Ive recorded this conversation with Geoff and Neil from my Twilight: 2000 https://freeleaguepublishing.com/en/games/twilight-2000/ Saturday morning game. This group, this time slot, and the game are a magical thing for me right now, and I suspect for the four players as well. I wanted to get their thoughts and feels 10 sessions in about the game, the group, and whatever else comes up. Content warning. Twilight: 2000 is a survival sandbox game set in war-torn Poland in the 2000s. There are parallels with the current invasion of Ukraine and we talk about the early stage of the war in Ukraine. Were using Free Leagues setup for Foundry VTT https://foundryvtt.com/and its been incredibly useful. ICYMI check out my post The Promise of VTTs https://playfearless.substack.com/p/the-virtual-tabletop-promise.
