Friendly neighborhood Dungeontuber boosting indie RPGs and Universal TTRPG advice. Home of the Quantum Ogre Cast. Occasionally I even talk about Dungeons and Dragons.
I write silly jingles.
I like goblins and coffee...
What is this a date? Go watch some videos!

Choosing Adventures As A New GM | Adventure Complexity?
Переглядів 2,8 тис.Місяць тому
In this video I go over a few adventure recommendations in order of complexity and detail with a focus on newer Game Masters coming to the hobby for (potentially) the first time (because #GMuary). I give my reasons, along with plenty of examples, for why you can run just about any fantasy adventure for any tabletop roleplaying games, whether that's D&D5e /D&D2024, Old-school Essentials, or Dung...

9 motivations For D&D / TTRPG Characters (Using the Enneagram)
Rogue Like games do *not* have a meta progression element. They are named after the eponymous "Roge", which has games like Hack, NetHack, and the like in the genre. The correct term for Darkest Dungeon and Rogue Legacy and the like are "Rogue Lite" games.
Thank you so much for the shout out! My son was in the room while I had the podcast playing in the background, he was mouth agape. 😆
Of course! It's a perfect piece of art!
Oh man Justin! As. Writer of fantasy - have you checked out fighting fantasy style gamebooks? THAT’S what you should write! :) (And I’ll draw for you in it)
Glad to hear Ryan will be joining. ❤
Fun conversation!
Thanks!

I have totally coopted the Heart system! For the newest version of my personal RPG-- Pasts, Personas and Prophecies I have "Prophecies" (essentially callings). Some of these prophecies are "Revenge", "Destroy", "Protect", etc. Rather than the players choosing the beat, the group rolls on the table twice for their chosen prophecy story arc. Those are the beats they are currently working toward in their group's journey. They can then reroll one of their prophecies at the start of next session if they are not into one of them. I originally did the individual prophecy (one for each PC) for my first west marches game BUT I found that having a prophecy for each PC was too difficult to maintain. Instead, my key learning was that a prophecy is a good way to help guide sandbox play for the entire group with short term goals towards a story they are interested in.
Eww... that's spot's ified. I followed the link and will manifest from 0 space when the quantums entangle.
First episode was great! Also, pretty sure I saw my face flash there for a moment?! I must be imagining things...
It's possible, you know, there's a 1 in 6 chance it wasn't just your imagination 😉
Having a faction building mechanic seems like a no brainer that should have been picked up on way earlier.
One would think
🥳🫂👍🏿

Yay been excited for Quantum Ogre Cast!! .. Wait what i was railroaded here? I didn't even notice, Damn... he's good
The real Quantum Ogre are the choices we thought we made along the way 😁
Oh wise Elder Goblin, you have served to be the best insperation this year. I want to know if you've got any advice on note taking or tracking your storytelling? Have you ever used a transcription and session summary tool like Realms of Shod? Keep up the great work! You dungeon-tube like a boss.
Thank you! I appreciate that. Actually I don't have a great method, I should work on that 😅 I just write stuff down in the moment or after a game.
Coolest fit ever.
Dope stuff! Only suggestion is, more goblins!
I rolled for 2d6 goblins. I got 11. Roll initiative.
@@ElderGoblinGames Nat 20 BABY!!! (unless we are rolling a different die, which then I will lol) I have my trusty Lignum Vitae Staff, my roughly crafted loin cloth (my other things lost to the Thorn Claw Forest), and the unknown brands the shaman gave me at my rites of passage. This tasks need to be done, the goblins must let me join them or the tribe will come and make war.
What a great conversation! I will second that Quinn's Quest videos are awesome and hilarious! I also struggle to tie events in the game back to character backstory. Luckily, my current game has very light back stories.
I'll check it out! 👍
What strats have you used in the past to help you out?
@@jfacegames7354 I made an NPC relationship generator, and asked each PC to create one unheroic NPC. Then I designed an encounter that leveraged these relationships. The generator remains one of my favorites tools for fleshing out PCs.
The point buy system similar to Shadowrun is something I always wanted brought to fantasy. I’ll pick this up.
Great podcast name lol
Thank you! It was originally just going to be the first topic then one of the discord goblins thought it was the podcast name and I liked it better than what I had
🔥🔥🔥😉
Kinkiller Chronicles reference, nice! 🤠

Ogre?! what happened to us goblins?!
Still got love for the goblins, just gotta let a Quantum Ogre out from time to time!
16:17 Spoiler.. we never really hit on "Making your players feel clever"
I like the question about the monster from a comicbook character aesthetic, I would like you to keep it, but maybe then tack on a follow-up of a monster from the iconic power of a comicbook character. (I do not recommend getting into all the powers of a character because that could cause analysis-paralysis. (I would imagine Venom might be the 1st that would jump to mind.)
🥳🫂👍🏿 Oh hey it’s JayFace - great stuff - lots of your vids on the house rule quest ❤ I’d be happy to run you in Nimble if you’re looking for a little lighter of a game
Jface (/Trent) is awesome. Had so much fun chatting.
Running Nimble! I’d be down for that
@@ElderGoblinGameshad a blast also, buddy
I see Savage Worlds, I upvote
The company idea has always felt like a good reason to make the game a military campaign, where the PCs may not even like each other or want to be doing what they're doing, but they're soldiers, and they've got their orders.
