[BONUS] DADHAMMER 40,000 - Hammer Talk
Added 2025-04-03 03:00:07 +0000 UTCThe Dad Crew sits down to talk through the epic three-part mini series set in the brutal grimdark world of Warhammer 40,000.
They get into the apocalyptic traffic jam that diverted the recording, what it was like for Matt to step into the DM seat and his original plan for each of the three episodes, Anthony's actual sadness as a result of the campaign, the challenge of running a campaign with both meaning and humor in this brutal world, and the difference between dying in Warhammer and dying in Call of Cthulhu.

2025-12-31 12:07:11 +0000 UTCI nominate Glitter Hearts for a mini-series. Sailor Moon and Power Rangers inspired.

2025-04-21 23:32:38 +0000 UTCI’d love a Warhammer painting stream with Matt! I too have a grey army of shame

2025-04-19 14:47:18 +0000 UTCBro as someone who used to live in Temecula until last year the traffic jams are hands down the worst. It is an armpit in SoCal between San Diego and LA. Plus they were doing construction on the 215 when I left and that made it much worse.
Justin Ruzeck
2025-04-14 16:52:39 +0000 UTCMonster of the Week is a pretty simple system - my players like the fact that (almost) every episode we played had a conclusion in solving the mystery/killing the monster, but still there were character arcs that went on for the whole campaign Felt like a tv series
Maciej Łatosz
2025-04-14 14:13:17 +0000 UTCAnthony being a fellow sisters player brings me joy!
Freya Hogarth
2025-04-11 07:33:56 +0000 UTCTemecula?? Wait I live in Temecula, dads!! The 15 freeway is that bad 24/7 😭

Brandon Sifuentez
2025-04-08 19:36:58 +0000 UTCCheck out Lawman as a space system game.
Paul Litch
2025-04-08 16:01:09 +0000 UTComg the orks would be so funny. theyd just fight each other and generate spontaneous founts of knowledge
Maya
2025-04-08 14:09:06 +0000 UTCBeth ... I spend hours making sure my playlist set too, i feel you
Leo Hall
2025-04-07 23:07:38 +0000 UTCYou could always play as different factions in Warhammer like Ork and Eldar.
Colton Parker
2025-04-07 20:39:09 +0000 UTCGrandads in Space could use DnD 1e --- poking 10-foot poles at an airlock for a dozen episodes in a row
Doyle Just Doyle
2025-04-07 17:20:37 +0000 UTCBlades in the dark would be an awesome system for the podcast, especially with the space version Scum and Villainy
Mr.ClassyRamen
2025-04-07 17:14:47 +0000 UTCI know the expanse has a system now. Bought the book over a year ago…still haven’t got around to reading it though.
Chris Gresham
2025-04-07 15:56:22 +0000 UTCI would LOVE hearing ya'll playing Blades in the Dark, I'm super interested in seeing how chaotic Freddie and Will gets when a Flashback is ingrained in the system
Midwestnerd
2025-04-07 13:40:11 +0000 UTCYall would love mork borg. Just google the front cover
Reverend Chatterbones
2025-04-06 20:05:29 +0000 UTCI mean, the easy answer for "what system doesn't get in the way and also is in space" is just Lasers and Feelings, but the cool guy answers are either Coriolis or Diaspora.
John
2025-04-06 08:41:14 +0000 UTCTaken dads? You mean dungeons and daddies season 1?
Timothy Henderson Jr.
2025-04-06 06:11:29 +0000 UTCTHE SOUND DESIGN IS PEAK IN THIS SERIES.
Tinyhumanbrain76
2025-04-05 18:15:17 +0000 UTCI don't know if it's forgiving enough, but I personally enjoy Mongoose Traveller as a space centered TTRPG
Mr. Greenhand
2025-04-05 13:35:16 +0000 UTCIf you all do another system for a one-shot or maybe even campaign and are considering something space-based, you should absolutely consider Mothership! It's a dystopian space horror based more on the old-school roleplay style systems, so it lends itself well to audio based programs as there is a ton of room for narrative combat and interactions. It's a ton of fun and has a lot of really cool elements that draw influence from things like SCP, for example. Death is a big part of the game, and combat is very punishing but exciting. I think it would fit your all's play style super well, especially with how Anthony described issues with complexity in systems.
Stephen Underwood
2025-04-05 12:11:47 +0000 UTCWonderful! Please feel free to do whatever you want!
MikeBellZombie
2025-04-05 00:52:03 +0000 UTCFree on YouTube if you want to watch it. I'm a big fan of Jared, the GM
Alex H.
2025-04-04 19:13:42 +0000 UTCTriangle Agency is also good for this vibe and a little sillier
Alex H.
2025-04-04 19:11:21 +0000 UTCThis series got me into reading Warhammer books and Rogue Trader, so thank you so much. I'd love more!!
hexcat
2025-04-04 19:11:18 +0000 UTCCyberpunk RED is a much better system, Shadowrun is a good setting but a bit of a mess, especially for non-rules heads
Alex H.
2025-04-04 19:08:55 +0000 UTCIt's so funny, they would rock it
Alex H.
2025-04-04 19:07:51 +0000 UTCAnthony, Beth and Freddie played Blades on Stream of Blood, now part of the Glass Cannon Network!

2025-04-04 19:06:04 +0000 UTCMatt the salamanders only burned xeno children alive my guy. No reason to feel bad. 😋

Reverend Chatterbones
2025-04-04 15:20:40 +0000 UTCI am so horny to see Anthony back in the hot seat. Pitch for the new name of the grandpas in space campaign in keeping with the dungeons and daddies naming format: Peepaws & Pulsars
Reverend Chatterbones
2025-04-04 15:20:04 +0000 UTCroll for shoes is the perfect miniseries system, especially for this group. i dont know how it would play out over a true campaign (probably not well) but ive run it countless times with friends and its absolutely amazing.
Maya
2025-04-04 14:11:33 +0000 UTCMore please
Eddy B
2025-04-04 12:52:53 +0000 UTCI mean.. can't go wrong with shadowrun for a sci-fi/cyberpunk fantasy setting? I played the pc version, idk how well the ttrpg version of it is..
UrdnotVick
2025-04-04 01:08:50 +0000 UTCOmg yes please do video battle reports of Killteam!!! 🙏🙏🙏

2025-04-04 00:33:35 +0000 UTCThe guy who wrote Dogs in the Vineyard pulled it from sale because he now feels like it whitewashes genocide, so maybe not that one

Golden_Grim
2025-04-03 18:45:52 +0000 UTCI believe there are at least two. They've covered the season 1 and 2 themes
Joseph Richardson
2025-04-03 18:40:58 +0000 UTCDid they post the minis anywhere?
Marcus
2025-04-03 18:07:08 +0000 UTCThere’s a great super simple sci fi rpg system called These Dark Places and it’s like Alien and simply amazing.
Ellen Jensen Garrett
2025-04-03 17:51:12 +0000 UTCI feel like you guys could do some real fun stuff with DIE. It's a full system but pretty simple overall with mechanics built around a lot of freedom and character. Basically you play people playing a TTRPG and get sucked into it, but the actual system itself could be used however you want.
Adam Burt
2025-04-03 17:38:20 +0000 UTCSo I created a super simple pen and paper built for theater of the mind everything including combat is skill checks and the skills are open and customizable would post a document here but I’m not sure if I’m ready for all the random people to be in my document but if you want to check it out I can give it to you
Rich Morris
2025-04-03 17:23:21 +0000 UTCYes, please use the blades system. We want dad’s in the dark.
NegativeOffset
2025-04-03 17:15:22 +0000 UTCIdk if they’ve heard of it but there is a Destiny 2 ttrpg that’s like D&D and Destiny that they might like!
Matt Sansweet
2025-04-03 16:42:30 +0000 UTCIn the game Fable, I never could play evil alignment because I always felt like I was going to Hell. In the Sims 4 Star Wars Journey to Batuu pack, my son gets mad at me every time I take a quest from the First Order. 🤣
Kaiddance
2025-04-03 16:16:40 +0000 UTCfinally, a reference to Matt @ing everyone on the discord.
Zack Bochman
2025-04-03 15:59:06 +0000 UTCOMG they mentioned Mork Borg! It's happening! Finally
Elio Cury Benazzi
2025-04-03 15:34:54 +0000 UTCMatt saying that he played Salamanders because they were green reminded me that when I chose my army Raven Guard was because they were mostly black and I couldn’t paint very well… so that seemed the easiest!
Samwise Samgee
2025-04-03 15:15:47 +0000 UTCMatt should do a star wars mini series
Maladapted
2025-04-03 14:33:42 +0000 UTCMonster of the Week is a very fun system, just fyi! But I love the idea of Taken Dads too.
drmimms
2025-04-03 14:17:47 +0000 UTCSuggestion for Grandads in Space. The Stargate TtRPG by Wyvern games is really good. It runs mostly like DnD but has classes races and backgrounds that fit a sci fi space adventure a lot better. Instead of finding loot the party can requisition gear from their parent organization before missions and it adds Moxie to make social encounters more dynamic and meaningful. You'd want to change the names of the races and aliens since they are all from the Stargate Franchise but it would be a fun system to listen to in my opinion.
Sean Boyle
2025-04-03 14:13:58 +0000 UTCCan we get a guest spot with Maxton Waller about making the music for you guys? He's such an amazing artist and to hear his stuff in full it takes entire meanings and encompasses the campaigns and even their eventual directions

2025-04-03 13:31:45 +0000 UTCI tried to fall asleep to episode 2 but I had to listen to something else because I couldn’t stop laughing
Cliven
2025-04-03 13:22:20 +0000 UTCSpeaking of video content, would you all want to do a commander game? I remember y’all playing on the first tour and not sure if anyone continued to play. Maybe Jimmy could make a guest appearance for the game?
Oh Lordii
2025-04-03 13:14:14 +0000 UTCI feel like you folks would shine playing Delta Green, which is the Cthulu system, but X-Files
Cumbia Zookeeper
2025-04-03 11:59:33 +0000 UTCWills talking about scum and villainy and damn it I could've sent them my copy instead of donating it. Didn't enjoy the system for my group but would be great for a podcast.

2025-04-03 11:27:47 +0000 UTCThis was a great short shots. My husband and I just got the root rpg. I think you all would enjoy. You play as woodland creatures.

Parker
2025-04-03 05:33:45 +0000 UTCIf Anthony's still looking for something good and easy for Dads in Space, highly recommend SW5E, which is a Star Wars flavoured variant of DnD 5E http://sw5e.com/
