| 16 Dec 2022 | 10 Candles (Season 5 Trailer) | 00:01:06 | |
These things are true. The world is dark...and we are alive.
This season on My First Dungeon we are delving deep into darkness in the tragic horror game 10 Candles. This isn’t a game about survival, there are no survivors. Our characters will die, without question and without quarrel. Instead, it is a game about hope, and how it can be found even in the darkest of moments. We will be joined by the game’s creator Stephen Dewey who will walk us through his innovative game and will help us learn how to build a narrative where death is certain, but hope is still possible.

Love is strange. Sometimes it finds you at the office…. Sometimes it finds you over a cup of coffee.... And sometimes it finds you with a bomb strapped to your heart and an evil maniac forcing you to perform in a fucked up romantic comedy…. This is that third kind of love. Cast: Superdillin as Freddie Prinze Jr. Brian Flaherty as Chaz Abby Hepworth as Carl Rom Com Drama Bomb is a storytelling game for 3 players. Over the course of 90 minutes—the perfect rom com length—you will play out the trope-fueled scenes of a romantic comedy with a maniacal twist: Play as two people who shouldn't fall in love and the evil villain who will stop at nothing to make sure they do.

Jay Dragon joins us once again to discuss Wanderhome, running guide-less sessions, and our very first game of this ENNIE award-winning pastoral fantasy. The land of Hæth is a pastoral fantasy world filled with everything you could ever need from a role-playing game: Moth mailmen, bumblebee shepherds, and a countryside filled with the quiet knowledge of the small and forgotten gods. But there's one thing this game doesn't need: A Game Master. This season Jay Dragon introduces us to GM-less systems and gets us ready for a game of Wanderhome. Join us as we prepare for our first session of this ENNIE award-winning game where each player has equal control of the world. My First Dungeon is the tabletop role-playing podcast where we put first-time GMs through their paces as we build and run their first adventure and then circle back around to discuss what went right, what went wrong, and how they can make their game better. This is a three part series. Episode one is all about prep, where we will focus on building the session, understanding the GM’s worries, and setting them up for success. Then it's out of the frying pan and into the fire in episode two where our nascent Game Master will run their very first game for a group of experienced players. Then in episode three we will look back on that first game and discuss what went right, what went wrong, and how we can improve.

These things are true. The world is dark...and we are alive.
This season on My First Dungeon we are delving deep into darkness in the tragic horror game 10 Candles. This isn’t a game about survival, there are no survivors. Our characters will die, without question and without quarrel. Instead, it is a game about hope, and how it can be found even in the darkest of moments.

This season our first time Game Master, Shenuque Tissera, will be tackling Honey Heist and exploring the world of one-page RPGs. And to help him out, we've found him the best possible teacher: the game's creator, Grant Howitt! My First Dungeon is the tabletop role-playing podcast where we put first-time GMs through their paces as we build and run their first adventure and then circle back around to discuss what went right, what went wrong, and how they can make their game better. This is a three part series. Episode one is all about prep, where we will focus on building the session, understanding the GM’s worries, and setting them up for success. Then it's out of the frying pan and into the fire in episode two where our nascent Game Master will run their very first game for a group of experienced players. Then in episode three we will look back on that first game and discuss what went right, what went wrong, and how we can improve. Subscribe to The Twenty Sided Newsletter to receive free, bi-monthly emails containing original playable content, DM tips and tricks, interviews with interesting people in the TTRPG community, and expanded lore of The Fractured Realms.
