This Thing is Weird!

Hope you left some space guys, it's time for pudding!

We focus on the Weird in RPG's this week, as we contemplate Adam's bizarre chaos-demon confection The Whirlywhip. What makes a thing weird, and how can this quality enliven our games? 

Then we trip over to the lovely folks from the OSR RPG group on Facebook for more weird and wonderful happenings. 

Full encounter here!

We are once again heavily laden with references. Our Gelatinous Cube is sadly absent this week but here is a piece they wrote about the work of Jim Woodring.

This particular encounter brought to mind the excellent advice of Arnold K to "attack every part of the character sheet," and you can find some of his thoughts on the principle here.

And finally what's all this about Weird Materialism and the OSR? Here's Deep Under Stone on the subject. 

This Cleric is Good!

Pelor be praised! We've reached our ninth episode and it's time to talk with God.

 

Rosie rocks up with a zealous glint in her eye for a discussion of her favourite character class in "This Cleric is Good!", We consider whether a focus on presence might lend some variety to the Gods of Dungeons and Dragons, and how clerics tap into the deep magic that happens at the D&D table.

And the Gelatinous Cube has a revelatory take on the prompt: a rescue mission that would test anyone's faith!
