Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.

This week, we had the pleasure of interviewing the, well, magnificent Candace the Magnificent!

Candace is a powerhouse of creativity in and out of the TTRPG space. As a player, they are known for their colorful and memorable characters (as well as the colorful and memorable costumes she often wears to represent them), but they do it all, including writing, sensitivity reading, game running, writing, serving as an Ennies awards judge, and much more.

In today’s interview, we talk about how she leaves room for growth in their characters, knowing your needs, the gift of connection, taking accountability, and doing emotional labor for those who can’t. Among, as always, a great many other things.

CW: Mental health, adderall shortage, police brutality, racism

Reinforcements finally arrive in the Council chambers, but not before the Guilders lose one of their own.  After a night of mourning, they are visited by one of the members of the Council and are given the decision the Council members came to regarding the refugees.

Hello listeners! Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.

I am excited to get to play interviewer to a fellow interviewer this week, as I sit down with podcast host, editor, game designer and quality individual Navaar Seik-Jackson.

Navaar started his first show, the excellent and conversational interview offering the Secret Nerd Podcast, just a bit before we started Reckless Attack, and the show has grown from interviewing a handful of friends all the way to some of the biggest names in the TTRPG space over more than 90 episodes (as of this release).

Since then, Navaar has branched into game design with his zombie apocalypse TTRPG The Corrupted, a Last of Us podcast Escape the Dark, helped host Pathfinder news and discussion podcast Know Direction, and is one of the players on the brand new Star Wars Pathfinder 2e show Unwavering Force.

Navaar is, in short, a busy guy.

But he is also a truly lovely guy.

In this episode, we talk about representation in gaming, just going out and doing the thing, discovery of self, vulnerability, making choices and results that matter, doing what you can for others, and oh so much more.

Enjoy the episode, and see you next time!

The Guilders face off against a group of the First Ones… beings of ice and cold summoned by the Shepherd. If they don’t defeat them in time and shut the portal, the lumbering colossus behind them could make it through and cause untold havoc in Deepwood.

The battle with the Shepherd and their summoned minions continues.  An unintentional glimpse into the mind of the Shepherd reveals something of their past and maybe even the motivations that lead them down this path of destruction.

Hello listeners! Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.

We are super excited to bring not one BUT TWO guests to you this week, Alex and Asa of Backwards Tabletop.

Backwater focuses on American Gothic Horror settings and mechanics, and have released several locations for their flavorful, monstrous, postapocalyptic setting, including LITERALLY A NEW ONE TODAY (if you’re listening the day the episode comes out).

We have a real blast chatting about telling the stories that you love, exploring history and today through TTRPGs, capitalism as the true monster, and much, much more.

See you next time!

A fellow traveler and Council of Oak petitioner turned out to be… not who they said they were. As a result, the Guilders find themselves defending the Council members, who were disinclined to acquiesce to the request, from the aggressive negotiation tactics of the rejected petitioner. Through the use of excessive force, the plaintiff’s court summons were brought before the Council where minds were attempting to be changed.

Having had a restful night at the inn, the Guilders wake up in the morning of the day of the meeting with the Council of Oak. Getting some help from their fellow Council requestees, they get a solid lead to the mysterious location to which they have been traveling. And then, finally, to the Council meeting itself so the various requests can be made.

After tracking Althea to a couple of different locations, Sorghum and Barleys Circus of the Traveling Pants are still getting used to this particular dimension of Ravenloft. It looks like Althea has been trying to get home on her own and her travels have led her to the library inside Castle Crowloft. Can the troupe catch up to her in time to get her home before something untold happens to her?

Althea has gone missing, so a cry for help has gone out via the town cryers. The members of Sporgum and Barleys Circus of the Traveling Pants have answered the call and are prepared to enter the Domain of Dread, the frightful realm of Ravenloft, to try to find Althea and bring her home to her wife.

But as the spell is cast to send them on their way, something is different. They are sent to Ravenloft, but this ain’t your parent’s Ravenloft.

Welcome once more to Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.

What an episode this week, with GM Nathan sitting down with The Noir Enigma aka Noir (he/they)!

Noir does a large amount of a large array of things in the TTRPG space - they play, they run, they produce, they stream, they interview, and really do some of what seems like most things. They are also a really great and nuanced voice in the TTRPG space, offering a lot of really lovely insights on all kinds of topics.

And he does all of this with incredible enthusiasm, energy, and joy.

In this interview, we talk about creating out of spite and pettiness (especially in reaction to a “That guy”), how to run your own race but make sure you leave the door open behind you, treating people like people, accountability, and really truly listening to your friends and players.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the third Reckless Attack Tale Til Now Episode, summarizing events from our story’s travel expedition in a letter from Kascorin to his buddies back home.

We know getting into a new podcast with a big backlog can be a tall task. To give interested folks some nice jumping in points, we're publishing end-of-arc recap episodes highlighting the important story moments from the past handful of episodes.

They'll be designed so you can listen to a couple of these and have a good understanding of where things are in the Reckless Attack plot - though of course nothing beats going back and listening to the original episodes!

We hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening!

Welcome once more to Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.

This week, we were lucky enough to sit down with P Vincent, owner of Table Cat Games and creator of the recent Savage Worlds setting Street Wolves.

PV started in the space right around the time we did, and his flavorful, dramatic, synthwave, retrofuturistic work with Street Wolves is really pretty wonderful

We touch on so much this week - enforcing vibes, Miami Vice, chasing the fun, what synthwave actually is, more about Miami Vice. But I think this interview is really special I think, because it gives a really thoughtful look at genre game design - my favorite kind of design - and an inspirational look at dreaming big and doing the work required to make it happen. 

That's it from us - see you next time!

The Guilders are able to talk to Juniper after revealing what was hidden beneath all of his wrappings.  They learn a little bit more about what was involved in driving off the Ultra Giant that attacked Deepwood many years ago and the cost the denizens of the Tree now must pay to ensure the city’s survival.  Also, they meet more visitors who wish to have an audience with the Council of Elders.

It has been a rough few days, and the adventurers are looking forward to sleeping in actual beds for the evening, none more than Kascorin.  But first, they have to convince the guards to let them up into the city.  And once up there, will they have a place to stay?  Maybe Ravenmount Juniper can vouch for them.

Greetings, and welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.

This week we are joined by one of our favorite folks in the TTRPG space, Will Malkus of not for profit TTRPG studio Live From The Apocalypse.

Will is an excellent performer, storyteller and presence on his channel and in the TTRPG sphere. He is notably very present in his performances, and makes storytelling, player empowerment and evocative character portrayals look easy.

We have long appreciated the work their channel does for charity - encouraging people to donate directly to nonprofits they fundraise for and not compensate them at all - as well as their perspectives on a wide number of things, particularly in creating art here in late stage capitalism.

Long story short, Will is an absolute joy of a person and one of my favorites, and this conversation was a joy as well.

Enjoy!

Nearing their first stop at the tree-city of Deepwood, the party discusses the message sent to Selv by Nomgar. Encountering the scout, Juniper, about a half-day outside the city, they discuss how Deepwood may react to an influx of refugees as well as who in the city needs to be notified.
