    In this episode I’m discussing my recent experience running a one-shot (loosely) based on the Isle of Dread classic module, but using the streamlined Knave 2E by Ben Milton from Questing Beast.

    Knave 1E can be acquired from DrivethruRPG or itch.io, Knave 2E can be acquired from itch.io in PDF or from Swordfishislands.com in hardcopy.

    I also respond to a voicemail from long-time listener Ricardo.

  • Welcome to Last Roll of the Week with Red Dice Diaries, where we talk about RPGs, offer hints, review books and other stuff to use in your own games.

    I’m currently prepping to run The Enemy Within campaign for WFRP 4E, we’ve done a bit of character gen and I’m enthused to get started, but need to get myself up to speed on the current iteration of the rules. One of the things I find useful is a cheat or reference sheet so I’ve decided to create one using Obsidian Notes.

    I’d really love you to get involved in the conversation so we can get some back-and-forth going on this subject, you can leave us a voicemail at: https://www.speakpipe.com/RDDRPGPodcast

    Or email us at [email protected], either sending us a sound file or a written email.

    If I get some responses I’ll put them together in an episode and we can hopefully get an interesting discussion going and learn something from each other.

  • Welcome to the Red Dice Diaries, where we talk about RPGs, offering hints, reviews and stuff to use in your own games.

    I’ve recently acquired a book called Brancalonia which is a spaghetti fantasy campaign book using the 5th Edition of the world’s most popular roleplaying game; reading through got me thinking about what I loved in it, but why I probably wouldn’t run it as is.

    In this episode I’m out and about talking about that very subject and also comparing it to another game Helveczia that has a similar vibe to it.

    Both of these games are also available from DrivethruRPG in PDF format.
