  • 10 Years of The GROGNARD Files
    Aug 7 2025

    It was 10 years ago today, that we first came out to play! In this episode we jump every shark in sight by reflecting on the past ten years of the podcast.

    We invited listeners to ask us anything, as long as it was looking back over the past 10 years, so we could lean back in our armchairs and reflect on what we have done.

    Also, joining the fun is @dailydwarf, who looks back on Small Ads and letters in White Dwarf, in an adapted essay that first appeared in the GROGZINE.

    We head to the shed at the end of the garden to see Eddy the Armchair Collector in Chief, who hasn’t appeared for a while.

    Meanwhile in the Room of Role-Playing Rambling Judge Blythy works through the Thunderphase questions at a medium-fire pace.

    Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years. Especially anyone who has contributed to the Patreon, or commented, given us a review and passed it on.

  • Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG (with Brendan LaSalle)
    Jul 18 2025

    In this GROGPOD, Judge Blythy talks about his initiation into the cult of DCC. We look at what makes it work.

    Goodman Games, the publisher of DCC, is hosting DCC Day on 19th July 2025.

    We are joined by Brendan LaSalle who talks about DCC and his futuristic variant, XCrawl Classics where you can have a spectator sport in the dungeon.

    Next time we will look at some more settings.
