Show Notes
Jamie kindly permits Marsh to talk about Gold Teeth, the tabletop roleplaying game he’s Kickstarting, which is just an excuse to ramble at length about roleplaying games more broadly with excellent chums Jim Rossignol and Chris Lackey.
*
Gold Teeth! It’s a game of piracy and occult horror!
*
Strange Studies of Strange Stories – an excellent podcast that deftly unpicks literary tales of the sinister, supernatural or simply weird. Well worth a sub. Patton Oswalt thinks so!
*
Strange Stories is also soon to be a roleplaying game.
*
Free League’s Alien RPG
*
Mothership (and I don’t think it’s too spoilery to say that the time-loop module is Time After Time)
*
Call of Cthulhu
*
Marvel Superheroes
*
Gamma World
*
Star Frontiers
*
Broken Compass is the game which inspires the matching-dice mechanism of Strange Stories
*
Daggerheart is the system developed to replace D&D for Critical Role
*
Thistle & Hearth – a dice-less game
*
Starforged – a GM-less game with extremely elaborate world generation
*
The Quiet Year is a map game in which the Frost Shepherds are coming.
*
The Burning Wheel, Mouseguard and Miseries & Misfortunes are all games by Luke Crane.

More from The Crate and Crowbar
Jamie and Marsh convene to talk assorted bollocks about story structure post Jamie’s Roguelike Celebration appearance, Mario’s subbing in for Virgil, and with ineffable patience, Marsh tolerates Jamie not being able to shut up for one second about Splatoon Raiders.
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.
