1.175 - 21.024 Mike Shea

Today on the Lazy RPG Talk Show, we're going to talk about the Kobold Press' Labyrinth Kickstarter, which is just coming out. We're going to look at Dragontown and the Darkness Below by J.P. Covert, another Kickstarter happening right now. We're going to look at Wild Mage Press' Horizons Magazine that just got started up. A quick look at the Beetle and Grim Greyhawk map pack that is available.

Is D&D 2024 Player's Handbook the fastest-selling D&D book of all time? Answer is yes, but we'll dive into that topic. In the lecture of You Don't Own Your Own Books, there's a couple of new interesting news bits about not necessarily owning your own books when you buy them at digital platforms. We're going to dig into that.

39.134 - 62.176 Mike Shea

We're going to talk about the hidden 2024 D&D Players Handbook subclass rules for how to handle older subclasses than this book that I completely missed but are actually in the book. Today's big topic is going to be the current state of generative AI in role-playing games. And we're going to cover more questions from the September 2024 Patreon Q&A all today on the Lazy RPG Talk Show.

I'm Mike Shea, your pal from Sly Flourish, here to talk about all things in tabletop role-playing games. This show is brought to you by the fine patrons of sly flourish.

They get access to the awesome lazy DM community over on discord, and they help me put on shows like this to the patrons of sly flourish. Thank you so much for your outstanding support. Our friends over at Kobold Press have just launched the new Labyrinth Kickstarter. Labyrinth is a new setting and adventure series available by Kobold Press set in the multiverse.

104.037 - 121.887 Mike Shea

So imagine a manual of the planes written by Kobold Press. There was a short guide that they had put out recently that I thought was actually really, really good. So I'm very excited to see it. And I'm eager for this one as well. Of course, immediately when I looked at it, I was like, oh my God, is this City of Arches and am I in trouble?

122.128 - 136.882 Mike Shea

And the answer is no, actually, this works very well side by side with City of Arches because the City of Arches actually doesn't have an incredible array of all of the other worlds that are out there. It has definitely a worlds beyond the arches section that has a bunch of different worlds that you can connect to.

137.282 - 155.505 Mike Shea

It has a random world generator in there so you can make more, but it's more about the city. However, you could use a book like this to give you all kinds of worlds and all kinds of adventures in all these worlds that could connect right up against City of Arches. So it's very cool in that regard. There is a free preview PDF that you can get directly from DriveThruRPG.

155.765 - 172.93 Mike Shea

I, of course, like the single click, just get it immediately. Having it connected to DriveThruRPG is not so bad, though, because a lot of people have a DriveThru account and you can pick it up. And I went and downloaded it. And it is a big, meaty preview, 18-page preview that gives you an idea of the kind of stuff you're going to see.
