[BONUS] DADHAMMER 40,000 - Hammer Talk

The 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.

Listen to each episode here -- Episode 1 | Episode 2 | Episode 3

I nominate Glitter Hearts for a mini-series. Sailor Moon and Power Rangers inspired.

alexhöñèy

Mörk Borg would be SOOO fun to listen to and hopefully play too. Ive loved the system and vibes/universe and was so hype to hear that yall might be interested in it

Kerrigan

MORK BORG IS SO FUN I would love to hear the gang play it

UrsaMajor_Issue

I tried to catch it, commented what I heard, and then googled it because wow i messed up the spelling 😂 Will says warhammer necron don quixote I believe lol

UrsaMajor_Issue

Hey girl are you in the cast of twisters? Cause I’m watching from the front row and I like *Freddy voice* THICK, BIG people, big WIDEEE people. 😂

UrsaMajor_Issue

Hey at 22:44 what are they talking about? I'd like to listen to the thing they're recommending but I cant hear it

FloralKitten172

I’d love a Warhammer painting stream with Matt! I too have a grey army of shame

Michael Purscell

Bro 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

Monster 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

Anthony being a fellow sisters player brings me joy!

Freya Hogarth

Temecula?? Wait I live in Temecula, dads!! The 15 freeway is that bad 24/7 😭

James Curtiss

I thought Vitamix looking for love was hilarious 😂

Brandon Sifuentez

Check out Lawman as a space system game.

Paul Litch

omg the orks would be so funny. theyd just fight each other and generate spontaneous founts of knowledge

Maya

Beth ... I spend hours making sure my playlist set too, i feel you

Leo Hall

You could always play as different factions in Warhammer like Ork and Eldar.

Colton Parker

Grandads in Space could use DnD 1e --- poking 10-foot poles at an airlock for a dozen episodes in a row

Doyle Just Doyle

Blades in the dark would be an awesome system for the podcast, especially with the space version Scum and Villainy

Mr.ClassyRamen

I 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

I 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

Yall would love mork borg. Just google the front cover

Reverend Chatterbones

I 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

Taken dads? You mean dungeons and daddies season 1?

Timothy Henderson Jr.

THE SOUND DESIGN IS PEAK IN THIS SERIES.

Tinyhumanbrain76

I don't know if it's forgiving enough, but I personally enjoy Mongoose Traveller as a space centered TTRPG

Mr. Greenhand

If 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

Wonderful! Please feel free to do whatever you want!

MikeBellZombie

Free on YouTube if you want to watch it. I'm a big fan of Jared, the GM

Alex H.

Triangle Agency is also good for this vibe and a little sillier

Alex H.

This series got me into reading Warhammer books and Rogue Trader, so thank you so much. I'd love more!!

hexcat

Cyberpunk RED is a much better system, Shadowrun is a good setting but a bit of a mess, especially for non-rules heads

Alex H.

It's so funny, they would rock it

Alex H.

Anthony, Beth and Freddie played Blades on Stream of Blood, now part of the Glass Cannon Network!

Alex H.

Matt the salamanders only burned xeno children alive my guy. No reason to feel bad. 😋

MurseNick

Yes!!! More dadhammer!!!

Daniel Martinez

Depends and Daddies^2

Reverend Chatterbones

I 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

roll 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

More please

Eddy B

I 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

Omg yes please do video battle reports of Killteam!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Nathan Sennema

The guy who wrote Dogs in the Vineyard pulled it from sale because he now feels like it whitewashes genocide, so maybe not that one

BT Bishop

Pingmageddeon Mention omg…

Natalie Rose

Hearing them talk about my hometown in the opener is INSANE ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Justin Benjamin

Still wanting that 2nd episode of their detective agency

El-Rudo92

Grandads in space!?!!!?

Andrew

Still hoping for Daddy max one day

Golden_Grim

I believe there are at least two. They've covered the season 1 and 2 themes

Joseph Richardson

Did they post the minis anywhere?

Marcus

There’s a great super simple sci fi rpg system called These Dark Places and it’s like Alien and simply amazing.

Ellen Jensen Garrett

I 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

So 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

Yes, please use the blades system. We want dad’s in the dark.

NegativeOffset

Idk 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

In 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

finally, a reference to Matt @ing everyone on the discord.

Zack Bochman

OMG they mentioned Mork Borg! It's happening! Finally

Elio Cury Benazzi

Matt 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

Matt should do a star wars mini series

Maladapted

Monster of the Week is a very fun system, just fyi! But I love the idea of Taken Dads too.

drmimms

Suggestion 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

Can 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

KingusDingus

I tried to fall asleep to episode 2 but I had to listen to something else because I couldn’t stop laughing

Cliven

Speaking 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

I feel like you folks would shine playing Delta Green, which is the Cthulu system, but X-Files

Cumbia Zookeeper

Wills 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.

Charlie

This 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.

jen Rogue

Step House sounds awfully similar the 90's sitcom Step by Step lol

Matthew Cagle

I don't think they're going back to Star wars lmfao

Galaxy Croissant

Harsh but fair point

Keith Vigna

My favorite series so far!

Parker

If 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/

daemoninwhite

The Blades in the Dark in space hack is called Scum and Villany for anyone interested

Peep Põdder

Tbh this series wasn’t worth the wait imo.

Alex

I live in utah and I would love to see you all RP mormons, i bet theres some gold there

Raos TheGray

Taken dads in the never stop system could go crazy. Maximum mania

Henry Houston

Taken dads would be so good

Andrea Rosado Quiñones

We need more Hammertalk!!

SuperNerd Che
