Full Episode
Today on the Lazy RPG Talk Show, we're going to talk about the Sly Flourish after-school sponsorship that we ran this past week. We're going to look at the Kobold Press Encounter Builder that just went online. Dread Thingonomicon is currently a bundle of holding for a ridiculously low price. Goodman Games has a Humble Bundle with a ton of 5e material you can get for very little.
We're going to look at the Grim Hollow Transformed Kickstarter by Ghostfire Gaming. Ars Magica's Rules and Setting are going to be released under a Creative Commons license. We're going to talk about that. Today's tip is going to be having two bandits talking about the characters.
How can you add in two bandits into your game that talk about the characters and what value that that can provide for your game and your players and for you? And we're going to cover the remaining 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, like all of the work of Sly Flourish, is brought to you by the patrons of Sly Flourish. Patrons get access to all kinds of awesome stuff, tips, tricks, tools, adventures, campaign source books, online tools to help you run your RPGs. You also get access to the incredible Lazy DM community over on Discord, and you help me put on shows like this.
And there's something else that you do that we're going to talk about here in a minute. To the patrons of Sly Flourish, thank you so much for your outstanding support. On, not necessarily every year, but every year that we are able to, my wife and I run a small sponsorship for after-school tabletop role-playing game programs.
And this is really due to the excellent support that we get, both from people who buy our books and back our Kickstarters, and particularly to the patrons of Sly Flourish who give us money every month. We like to take what we get and give that back. And so what we do is we put together a after school tabletop RPG sponsorship.
This year we're able to give about $12,000 worth of money and products to different programs out there for people who are running school programs. Unfortunately, by the time you're hearing this, we almost certainly have all of the people that we're able to give grants to this year. But there's other things that we can give to you if you are still running a program.
And the best way, if you want to know like, oh, wow, I'm just hearing about it now and I didn't hear about it before. The best way to find out about this program is to subscribe to this Life Flourish newsletter. When you subscribe next year, we're going to send out a newsletter that says, hey, the program is now open.
This year, we sent it through patrons, thinking that we'd get a few people from patrons first and then send out a newsletter. It turned out that just through our patrons, we had enough people that got the sponsorship. So next year, we're going to be doing it through the newsletter. So what we send out to each of the groups, we send out $200 through PayPal.
