Welcome Back to the Table! You’ve really locked into a strange one this week! We have a full studio for a conversation (that just about gets going) on Dual and Multi-Class characters, rules and impacts in D&D in contrast to other games and systems. Tori introduces us to her Rouge (and more) who are using the rules of Multi-Classing at the table to progress the character through a specific skill tree, with an end result in mind. Jess tell us of her Wizlock, whose path was forged through the shared story telling between player and GM. After the break, Arcadia takes us out of the ampersand and into an exploration of how other TTRPGs address the concepts and mechanics of effective ‘Multi-Class’ game play. Comparisons are made, words like “clunky” and “upper-decker”, for some reason, are bandied about with great abandon, in the latest episode and high water mark of hilarity in the FA Studios!

Welcome Back to the Table! This week Malcolm sits down with Jess to discuss her wildly popular Home Brew Campaign; Japan In Space. This 5e setting is a product of two great loves, interests and fandoms, bringing together a historical age of strife and change in Bakumatsu Japan and the operatic expansive elements found in Star Wars media. More than a TTRPG in a Galactic skin, Jess draws from her knowledge base as an academic who Majored in History and someone who has spent years living in Japan to bring unique cultural and historical components to her players at the table. She offers tips on employing those ingredients into a homebrew game and how offering players the opportunity to do more than hack and slash through the world allows for unexpected moments of great RP and some hilarious character choices! Enjoy this glimpse into the process of inspiration, adaptation and how to employ the absurd (*see Japanese Fertility Festivals) in ways that bring more joy and enrichment at your table.

Welcome back to the table — and welcome back for Season 2! Malcolm, Tori, and Jess return for another Clan Comparison from VTM. Tori leads off with Clan Gangrel, a clan made up of strays and rogues who value strength, independence, and survival above all else. These vampires aren’t interested in the shenanigans of courtly politics; instead, they focus on living their unlife on their own terms. Closer to the Beast than most other clans, the Gangrel truly are a different breed.

Malcolm follows with Clan Tremere. The Blood Mages represent a very different kind of clan — one born from human origins rather than traditional vampiric lineage. These sorcerers wield knowledge as both weapon and currency, and they’re not shy about showing it. Scheming, calculating, and steeped in secrets they perhaps shouldn’t possess, the Tremere famously seized their place among the undead by transforming themselves through dark means. With a structure that often feels almost mafia-like, they carefully position themselves within the greater vampire society.

Thank you for listening and helping make a second season possible!
