Show Notes
In this week's episode, Kylen discusses the current events happening in the tabletop RPG space, including changes to Dungeons & Dragons.
Then, taking the conversation beyond those changes, he talks about the arc of D&D, how the mechanics shape the game and how, if we want, we can find other ways to tell stories that don't have to conform to the framework of the most popular ruleset on the market today: how the mechanics of the game contribute to the feel and fabric of the game, and what to do if we want something different.

More from Threat Dice
On this episode of Threat Dice, Kylen does a system overview of Pathfinder 1st Edition, a game which he has spent FAR too many hours playing over the past three years. After joining a PF1E game on a lark with a group of online friends, he has grown to truly respect and admire the system for what it can accomplish, despite its limitations.
Having faced the dangers of the wilderness, the three Legionnaires have reached the mysterious ruins.
Reyah isn't sure that Aerus is fully of sound mind on this one, but he's in command, so she goes along. She only remembers that the ruins they're heading for made her feel deeply uneasy, the last time they were there. Both the terrain and weather are against them--how will our intrepid heroes fare in the trek across the wilds, reluctantly toward their destination?
At last, the first episode has arrived! VERITAS is a solo live-play of Tumbledie Games' RPG-in-development, Trove!
