Show Notes
Marsh is joined by game dev and writer Jim Rossignol to discuss the grotesque tabletop roleplaying game they have made together. It’s called TEETH, it’s about occult criminality in a cursed corner of 18th century England, and it’s Kickstarting right now!
*
Kickstart TEETH (if you like)!
*
Watch our Kickstarter trailer at the link above or on Youtube for a quick catch-me-up on the game accompanied by some superb hurdy-gurdy music.
*
Our last three mini-adventures, Night of the Hogmen, Blood Cotillion and Stranger & Stranger are on itch. Night of the Hogmen is even free.
*
Symbaroum is the TTRPG set in a horrible forest that partly prompted this creation.
*
Blades in the Dark is the TTRPG from which our rules are adapted.
*
We list STALKER, Hound of the Baskervilles, Buffy, Hunt: Showdown, Blackadder, League of Gentlemen and Jane Austen as being among TEETH’s influences.
* Sathnam Sanghera’s revelatory Empireland informed some of the revolutionary aspects of the game.

Chris, Jamie and Marsh get tux’d up and shimmy into the pseudo-sandbox soirees of 007 First Light. Our predictions for the future of this game and its developers are then immediately chomped to mince by the pit of alligators that is the wider game industry.
Chris and Jamie are joined by Mike Cook to talk about his uneventful recent life as an academic specialising in AI. Then, Slay the Spire 2 summer begins at last and we pay tribute to Marathon’s weird little robo-goblin, the Rook.
Jamie and Chris convene from the palatial purple of Quincy Jones’ recording studio to tell tales of indentational trauma, BP garage psychogeography and also some games!
Marsh is joined by Graham to chat about Jank, a hot new website for cool people, the best games of the decade so far, deduction game TR-49, frenzied shmup Sektori and joyous platformer Big Hops.
