🤔 POLL! Which of these D&D announcements / settings are YOU most excited to see? ***I know folks have mixed opinions on at least a couple of them, which we'll talk about in tomorrow's video! Aug 11. ...Then next week, we'll discuss the one that I'm pretty sure is gonna win this poll 😎
I keep forgetting to mention this on YouTube! 🌍 Here's the 'World Builder Club' mini-writing challenge for August: THE SWORD ⚔️
Your new challenge is to design a noteworthy weapon! But this isn't just your version of Excalibur. It can be any kind of weapon, and it must be weird...
💠Write no more than 5 sentences detailing a unique, fantastical weapon!
💠1 sentence must describe an unusual sensory detail: its smell, temperature, weight, texture, state of matter, sound (its voice?), etc.
💠The other 4 sentences should focus around ONE of the following: the weapon's greatest deed, its most famous or infamous wielder, its creator or creation story, its mystical property/properties, perhaps a related faction... and of course, give it a cool name!
💠For inspiration, think about your favorite superhero or monster, and how its powers and personality could translate to an object.
💠Submit your "SWORD" as a comment on the post linked above post by Aug 22, 2026 to be considered for review in the recap podcast episode on @BobsRPGRadio !
💠And reply with hype or constructive feedback on 1+ other comment :)
When do YOU start planning your Halloween RPG sessions? 🎃 In this week's video, I outline a spooky scenario based on randomly selected spooky miniatures! Plus I paint the minis while discussing an important GM lesson from ya boi Brennan Lee Mulligan!
To what extent do you think the Pathfinder community and the game itself will be impacted by Paizo ending their commercial license with Archives of Nethys, which will continue to operate under Paizo's community use policy?
Please elaborate in the comments if you're thinking negative or positive impact, short-term or long-term, etc.
Either I’ve completely lost it, or D&D-tubers dropped the ball! 😅 There's a MASSIVE mainstream dungeon-crawling phenomenon going on, and I haven't seen a single TTRPG channel cover it yet! Check out my take here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBPaG...
Do YOU think Tabletop Roleplaying Games (the hobby as a whole) is on the way up, down, or going steady? ***In tomorrow's video we revisit an infamous Twitter thread "The Golden Age of TTRPGs is Dead" to find out what predictions came true and what was way off! Check it out Tuesday June 16
🧛🦇 Vibe check: The new D&D Ravenloft book seems... ***This week we're talkin about the recent surge of nostalgic content, and why it works better in some cases than in others! Check it out Tuesday June 9

Question for Pathfinder players (inc. GMs):
To what extent do you think the Pathfinder community and the game itself will be impacted by Paizo ending their commercial license with Archives of Nethys, which will continue to operate under Paizo's community use policy?
Please elaborate in the comments if you're thinking negative or positive impact, short-term or long-term, etc.
