Humpday RPG Show 3.31.21 with Special Guest Ian Yusem

 

Image by Evlyn Moreau


Aside from the actual PLAYING of games, my favorite things about this wonderful hobby are those two bastions of DIY creativity, zines and blogs. Join me each Wednesday on the Thought Eater podcast as I share the blogposts, zines, and RPG bric-a-brac that caught my eye over the week.

Have you started a new blog recently? Are you working on a zine? Are you a content creator that would like to be considered for an interview on the show? Want to send me review copies of what you're working on? I want to hear from you! Email me at frothsof at gmail, hit me up on Twitter, or use the contact form on my blog (visible in desktop mode in the right-hand column).

You can join the show by calling in at anchor.fm/thoughteater or via the Anchor app! The Thought Eater podcast is available on all major platforms, or you can use the player below to scroll along with each topic.

Free and Pay-What-You-Want 5e DMs Guild Highlights: Two Weeks Ending 3.28.21

You can find previous posts in this series HERE.



Fungus is Fun Stuff from Harmony the Bard


Colorful guide to various mushrooms of the Underdark and their uses. I like the graphic design quite a bit. Would make a cool zine.



Castle Dice Box from Becci Sewell


What can I say, I just think papercraft is cool. I love this little castle box. 





This is up there with the best products in the history of the Guild. A 96-page, comprehensive guide to "old-schooling" Dungeon of the Mad Mage, with exhaustive alternative OSR-inspired rules. If you ever plan on running it, consider this a must.



Lonely Locations from Taylor Navarro 


Collection of three location based one-shot adventures each highlighted by great maps and lots of random elements. The random tables allow DMs to adjust for party level, and there are separate map files for easy VTT play.
