Down a Patrick, Matt and Art decide to get back to something that has sat unloved for too long... talking about Souls games. This episode discusses the Nexus and opening level in Demon's Souls (Gates of Boletaria 1-1).Follow us on Blue Sky and X @BlackLodgeRPG and on Mastadon @ BLTNRecorded on 8/6/25Intro Theme: Dances and Dames by Kevin MacLeod.In session music provided by Tabletop RPG Music: www.patreon.com/tabletoprpgmusic

We get the whole band back together this week but need a little bit of time to get back into the swing of things, so we decided to try some Rosewood Abbey, a Carved From Brindlewood game of 13th century monks solving mysteries. Two quick notes, this is much more of a Session Zero... we barely start the story (see timestamps). And things go completely off the rails a lot since the three of us hadn't gotten to record together in a while.

We had a blast and can't wait to properly get into The Rose in the Garden.

Having just received Coriolis: The Great Dark, Art decides to revisit The Third Horizon and go into the two books a little bit. A little warning... Art's initial impressions of The Great Dark lean a little more negative if that's not your thing.

Art dives into the first actual play session for Zozer's gritty hard-sci fi Hostile: Solo.

WARNING: This is not at all what our usual content is like and Art is definitely not an expert (as you will soon hear). We are a TTRPG Actual Play channel. Also, not sure how well this will play with audio only.

A Youtube comment saying Art overthinks his audio inspired this examination of just how stupidly he has overthought his audio through the years - it's a little disconcerting. Covers the mics and interfaces he's used and discusses them from the perspective of someone who came into streaming audio production with essentially zero knowledge. Maybe there's something here that helps you skip a few steps getting to the audio you're looking for.
