Dice Exploder

Actual Play: The First 30 Minutes (My First Dungeon: Orbital Blues) with Rowan Zeoli

07 Oct 2025

Description

Transcripts available at diceexploder.comIt's a new series on Dice Exploder all about actual play. For five episodes, instead of breaking down one mechanic, we're going to break down one moment from one actual play show. And to kick things off, I'm joined by actual play critic and all-around-writer Rowan Zeoli of Rascal and Polygon. We cover an overview of actual play as a medium and the current state of the scene, we dig deep into the fine line this medium walks between fiction and nonfiction, and then we get to our moment: the very beginning of My First Dungeon's six episode miniseries on Orbital Blues. How can you make the most of those precious opening moments when there's so much to establish?Further ReadingOrbital Blues by Sam Sleney, Joshua Clark, and Zachary CoxMy First Dungeon: Orbital Blues episode 1Em Friedman on PatreonSocialsRowan on Bluesky and Rascal NewsSam on Bluesky and itchThe Dice Exploder blog is at diceexploder.comOur logo was designed by sporgory, our ad music is Lilypads by Travis Tessmer, and our theme song is Sunset Bridge by Purely Grey.Join the Dice Exploder Discord to talk about the show!Dice Exploder on Patreon
