Show Notes
In this week's episode, I introduce a new Threat Dice program, The Worlds We Weave, a worldbuilding experiment that you can contribute to.
The First Spark: Barkeep I feel a good start is not an object or location, but a person. After all, stories usually don’t add up to much without them. And this is a person I think many of you will be familiar with as a character that helps launch many of the stories we tell around our game tables: the barkeep. They might sling ale at the tavern in the village of a magical realm. They may work the cantina of a space station that orbits a mysterious planet. They could tend bar in a sleepy town riddled with shadowy secrets and just up the road from where you live. Where did they come from? What do they want? Do they know something amazing, something terrible, something no one should ever know? Do they have the recipe for a drink thought lost long ago?

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!
