Blood on the Clocktower, anyone?

Hi, all! It's Liv here and I've been playing a bunch of Blood on the Clocktower (think Werewolf but way better) and I wanted to learn to run it. 

I was thinking I could add this to the £10 and up tier and it would run whenever possible, aiming for once a month. 

This is my current hyperfocus so keeping it up should be easier for me.

Would anyone be interested? Here's myself, the RPGeeks crew and a bunch of other cool people playing it for context: 2024-03-05 17:45:32 +0000 UTC View Post

Where should our Redwall AP be set?

The wheels are turning as the great Redwall AP moves forward!

As we gear up towards settling on a system and holding a *gasp* Session 0, we want your input on what real-world location/culture you'd like to see us use as an inspiration for the setting!

Keep in mind: we won't be literally setting the adventure in one of these places or cultures. Instead, we'll be using them as a jumping off point to develop our own fantasy setting! They also won't have a meaningful bearing on what...

"3 Black Halflings And The White Boy They Make Fun Of" - With Lin Codega

This week, we have the journalist who broke that OGL story - it's Lin Codega! Jeremy and Liv are talking with Lin about everything that made them... well, them! From learning how to cow tip, to being forged in the fandom fires of superwholock, and the story behind a viral tweet about a certain summit.

The Clone Saga Research Begins!!!

I just recorded a solo pod on a completely different topic, but I wanted to let you all know that the Spider-Man Clone Saga episode is still coming! 

Honestly, I may end up doing a whole series of episodes on it like I have with Animorphs because it's so dang long

What keeps you listening to 3BH?

Let's parlay, Patrons! And Patreon followers I guess! It's Liv.

I'm currently scripting a podcast ad and I'm trying to encapsulate what makes the 3BH podcast special. The points that someone might hear and go "wow, maybe I SHOULD check them out", you know? 

I thought, who better to ask than the people who listen to us already? So, please drop a comment below with what you enjoy about the pod and what keeps you coming back.

If you have the time/want to of course.  2024-02-20 13:29:04 +0000 UTC View Post
