The World of RPGs

TTRPG
English
Interviews
This podcast is about tabletop role-playing games around the world. In every episode, I interview RPG enthusiasts and professionals from a non-English speaking country about what games they play, what unique RPGs exist in their country, and how new people get into the hobby. Interviewees include regular gamers, club organizers, game shop owners, creators of actual play videos, RPG authors, and gaming studios.  While some places are known for their large role-playing scene and have a lot of local RPG systems, other regions of the world have smaller scenes and might not even have a single RPG in the local language. Every regular episode ends with a teaser for the next country – an excerpt from an actual play recording in that country’s language. The aim of this podcast is to broaden our horizon and find out about RPGs from all over the world. Enjoy!

Actual Play
Mutants & Masterminds
Golden Squad is a superhero actual play audio drama using Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Edition, hosted by Luke and featuring a rotating cast of people he's legally allowed to call friends. Set in a custom world pulled directly from Luke's overcaffeinated brain, things tend to get weird, wild, and occasionally even heroic. The chaos is kept mostly family-friendly thanks to our tireless editorial staff—a flock of highly trained birds with strong moral values and questionable grammar.

Dice roller
D-Roller is a free online dice roller built around a real rigid-body physics engine rather than a random number generator. Every throw is simulated — sequential impulses at a fixed 360Hz, full collision between dice, friction and restitution — and the result is read off the geometry of whichever face ends up pointing at the ceiling. Nothing is drawn in advance and nothing can produce a number without the dice actually being thrown. It carries the full polyhedral set — D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20 — and up to twenty dice on the table at once in any mix, so an attack and its damage are one throw rather than two. It also reads a roll the way a table does. Two D20 are shown side by side and never added, because two twenties are advantage or disadvantage and no such total exists; a D20 thrown beside damage dice keeps the attack as the headline and the damage underneath; and a D10 that lands on 0 counts as ten, the way the printing on a real one means. Five die finishes, seven table surfaces, impact sound, and a stage the player can relight. No account, no download, no advertising in the roller. It runs in the browser, on a phone as well as a desktop. Links d-roller.com - Official website
