I'm Morgan Robbins, at MoriLoreMother on Twitter, designer for Level Up, Advanced 5th Edition, Mythic Odysseys of Theros, writer for Icewind Dale, Rime of the Frostmaiden, and you are listening to Morris' Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk.
Today's podcast is sponsored by the Royal Homeland Constabulary. If you dream of a hopeful future, with endless opportunity, travel and top-notch training, sign up to the RHC. You'll be paid one groat per week, you'll get your own straw cesspit in the communal barracks, and you'll have a wonderful time mingling with all the thieves, bandits, muggers and other assorted scum and villainy. Sounds lovely. But when they say travel, they just mean down the street to find out who threw eggs at Madame Brandybog's garter show house. And it's usually just Bert.
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Morris' unofficial tabletop RPG talk. I am Russ, a.k.a. Morris, or Morris, a.k.a. Russ, and with me this week is... PJ Coffey from the Southampton Guild of Rockland.
For us, as ever, it is a delight to be here. And joining us now, in all her reprehensible glory, she has truly brought the sunshine back to Southampton after a cold, miserable day.
We've got the one, the only, it's... It's me, Jessica from EM Publishing. I don't feel too much like a ray of sunshine today. I feel very tired by existence, but that is good to know. I am masking well.
Yeah, well, it's all the sun type that you brought with you. Well, I'm looking out the window and I'm not seeing an awful lot of sunlight, to be honest. It looks a bit greyish.
Yeah, it's a bit cloudy here.
Yeah, well, in that case, cheers, Kev. Cheers, Esther.
I appreciate you.
You're welcome.
Hey, should we do a podcast? Yep, we've got a big load of Dungeon Master's Guide information. Yes. But we'll save that to the end. Let's start off with some non-D&D stuff. Actually, let's start off with some stuff in that there city known as Ankh-Morpork.
Yeah.
On that there disc world.
It's doing all right, isn't it?
Mmm. It is doing all right. What's the news? I haven't heard. Well, it hit a million dollars on its second day. Woof. Yeah, it is currently well over a million dollars now. It's over a million pounds, so it's probably about 1.3 million dollars now. And it's got 20 days to go, so it has done incredibly well. Wow, that is like rocket ship level.
It's shy of 7,500 backers, so a goodly amount.
So it launched on Tuesday, like all Kickstarters do. And, yeah, it's only, like, just over three weeks. But, yeah, doing really, really well. It's quite a mouthful, though. Terry Pratchett's Discworld RPG, colon, Adventures in Ankh-Morpork. Doesn't trip off the tongue.
But how search engine optimization terms go...
I guess, but I bet it will just be referred to as the Discworld RPG. Fun, for sure.
That's how I've been talking about it already, in fairness.
Yeah, yeah. So it's going to cost you £50 to pick up the core rulebook and the dice. I don't think you can get the core rulebook without the dice, which is interesting. £100 for this whole Game Masters set, which includes an adventure and a screen and all that sort of stuff. And there's some other bits in between, and there's PDF equivalents and stuff as well. But yeah, powered by the Narrativian system, their brand new Wolves Light narrative game system, which we went into... Did we go into it last week or the week before? Quite recently, anyway.
Yeah, I think we did, and they did a playthrough as well. So you use all the dice and, yeah, I think we were worried about balance and things. We were like, maybe they'll be in water and there wasn't, but there was.
Yeah, well.
Because the GM decides which dice you roll, which can be a D4 to a D12. And then, yeah, if you roll higher than the GM, you're successful.
Yes. That's it. Yeah. Yeah, because... It'll work. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I imagine that the... No, thinking about it, no. Because I was going to say, imagine in the core rulebook it will have a list of basic difficulties for different things. And it'll say, right, this one is a D8, this one's a D4. But it's not because you... No.
