Playing With Myself (On The Internet) | Colostle Episode 5

Welcome back to the Roomlands & Rene's solo play-through of Colostle by Nich Angell!  Please go check it out, it's an incredibly accessible and easy to learn game with great art and all you need is a deck of cards!
 
We rejoin Marco, Berger, and Alis on their approach to confront their first Hunter's Guild quest! A flying Rook roosting in a tower... on an island... in the middle of a lake... perched atop a plateau! Talk about a crazy site for a fight! Will our protagonists be able to stick to the plan of getting inside the massive Rook and shut it down from the inside, or will they be tossed off the edge of the cliffs to an early ending?

We rejoin Marco, Berger, and Alis as they've alerted some bandits hiding out in the giant skull of a fallen Rook in the harsh canyonlands outside of Rust Grove.  Our heroes are outnumbered and you may be surprised at who manages to carry the fight, but it doesn't come without Wounds and consequences.  As they near the site of their quest from the local Hunter's Guild, they meet an antagonistic NPC who comes with a warning, and the plot thickens before the looming battle...

Crossroads Carnival Episode 1 - Welcome to the Circus, Kid

Step up, come on in, one ticket to the big top here, kid! Sights you've never seen, visions you'll never forget, we've got the most exotic acts you can imagine!  Welcome to the Crossroads Carnival.
 
Hello all and welcome to the first episode of our last series of 2022.  Amber's back to back after her marathon Dread session to bring you a story of sideshow circus acts in 1930s dustbowl Depression America.  They're not quite normal, not quite human, and all just looking for something outside the everyday awful.  Join us as we explore these twisted characters for what's sure to be an amazing horror series!

Playing With Myself (On The Internet) | Colostle Episode 1

What's this? This isn't a Modified Rolls RPG discussion podcast?  This isn't even a chaos baby from the mind of Sara!  What are we doing here?
 
Welcome to the very first episode of Playing With Myself (On The Internet), a solo roleplaying actual play series that we're going to be doing from time to time and maybe more, who knows?!  Rene sits down to play the one-player, card-based roleplaying game Colostle by Nich Angell.  Please go check it out and support Nich, I'm super excited to be exploring this world and hopefully doing it justice!
 
In an impossibly large world that all fits inside the rooms of a massive castle (a Colostle, if you will), people of the Roomlands settle in cities and create wondrous magical items from the husks of Rooks, gigantic hulking battlements and towers made of stone and magic.  In this series, follow Rene's character Marco Key as they befriend a small ice rookling and set off to explore some of the Roomlands and uncover secrets on a mysterious family map.

1d6 | 1d4 - RPG Hot Takes

Alright, we all know Rene's got some bad RPG opinions, but now you get to hear ALL of our hot takes!
 
In this episode of 1d6 | 1d4, what is supposed to be a short little podcast, we each get 3 minutes to spout our spiciest RPG hot takes - the opinions we have about our beloved hobby that would probably be considered somewhere on a scale from unpopular to downright blasphemous.
 
If you have any hot takes, email them to us at DMsAfterDark@gmail.com, or if you take particular umbrage at any of our takes, let us hear it in an email and we'll definitely shout you out in a future episode!
 
If after listening to all the offensive points of view in this episode, you still enjoy our streams, podcasts, or just our general nerdiness, please consider giving us a rating on your podcast app of choice! It takes you all of 30 seconds and it gets our podcast out there for more people to notice and discuss our favorite things with us!
