This episode, we are joined by special guest Emma to talk about All The Witches (an upcoming deck-based TTRPG they wrote about the diversity of witches in a fantasy world) that's coming to Kickstarter on March 16!
But first, we spend some time chatting about Hi-Fi Rush, Tales of Arise, Kingdom Hearts 3 (once more), Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Forespoken, and, for some reason, The Quiet Man.
To kick off the TTRPG stuff, Emma talks Cryptid Creeks by Hatchlings, a game about kids investigating mysteries with the help of a local cryptid. It’s kind of like "What If Monster Trucks (2017) was a TTRPG?" Plus, who doesn’t like cryptids? And creeks?
Emma also chats about Fleet Detrik's My Mother’s Kitchen, a solo journaling game about tradition and cooking, in which you play as the spirit of the family cookbook itself. It features beautiful art by Fabian Lelay and Hailee Smith, and you can find a preview here.
Marley chats about the preview of Cassi Mothwin's Tangled Blessings, an tarot-based witch school game, inspired by (among other things) graduate school. In it, you play two rival students who compete to get the magic school equivalent of tenure, which is amazing.
Cole has been looking at See You, Space Cowboy by Tidal Wave Games, and it has been scratching a scifi itch that he got thanks to the new Trigun series.
Emma also chats about Splat #4: Frights, a collection of essays on horror, horror TTRPGs, safely playing horror, and more. It's got an all-star cast of people working on it, including Jay Dragon, Casper Oliver, CeeJay (AKA ScholasticDragn), Josephine (AKA scarydogfriend), and more!
Emma also shows off Witchbound, a really interesting solo game, where you make your way through a series of illustrated environments. It’s an incredible way of doing a choose-your-own-adventure type book, which has blown us away with its design.
Marley also talks about Riley Daniels new game, Trophy Warp, which is a horror scifi game about freelancers surviving on the very edge of the galaxy. It feels like an Alien, a Blade Runner, a Citizen Sleeper, or, yes, a Mothership, but Riley has made some very interesting design choices, which Marley made a thread about...
Finally, we have an extended interview with Emma about talking about the origin of with All The Witches, running her first kickstarter, the joy of collaborating, adding deck-based rules, and witch sports.
