Dorkspawn Podcast

I didn't cry in this one gang! Very impressive if you know me at all!

Bioware's games were instrumental in my my love of gaming and story telling. If you haven't already, go check out Dorkspawn as they play through a bunch of Bioware's games.

New Dorkspawn ep today, discussing Dantooine in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic! In the top of this episode we take a minute (or seven) to say our 50 cents about the closing of BioWare and the state of the industry. Come celebrate and mourn BioWare with us <3 dorkspawn.carrd.co

For anyone else having big feelings about the BioWare news, please consider checking out @dorkspawn.bsky.social, a podcast where two best friends play games and discuss them like a book club, starting with Dragon Age and Mass Effect. I stumbled onto it this year and it’s beautiful and wonderful 💖

FYI Dragon Age Keep is, I imagine, not long for this world. There is someone working on creating an archive (linked) BUT my advice is to start an Inquisition save file with your favorite world-state(s) now, just in case. www.reddit.com/r/dragonage/...

And another a titan of the games industry falls into the dust (and they didn't trip, capitalism pushed)

Former BioWare Senior Writers Mary Kirby (Varric, Vivienne, Lucanis) and Sylvia Feketekuty (Liara, Josephine, Emmrich) and Sarah Hayward (Former BioWare Cinematic Director) have found a home at North Mist with many others in our network.

gonna relisten to the entire Dorkspawn Dragon Age run and cry into a bottle of wine Thinking about the myriad of corporate tragedies that led to this, I bitterly think back to David Gaider's beautiful dedication in The Stolen Throne. I'm so, so sorry to everyone at the BioWare team affected.

Surreal.

Less than $3k to funded!!!! Can we hit it within the first 24 hours??

Right now I'm listening to Shenuque and Elliot be absolutely devastating in their playthrough on My First Dungeon, I'm thinking wistfully about my playtest with Rowan, I'm anticipating my upcoming recording for One Shot. I am gonna be sick about this game for a while. Please go back it!!!

If you loved our episodes playing The Time We Have or Rom Com Drama Bomb or The Wanderer - the next game from Elliot Davis is crowdfunding now. And don't worry, you WILL be hearing it on One Shot.

To Feel Your Warmth is LIVE on BackerKit! A tragic duet vampire TTRPG about two people in love, one of which has been cursed with vampirism, in the final hours before sunset. A conversation about love, trust, and the decision to move forward together or say goodbye forever. 🩸🚪🌅

The campaign launches in FOUR DAYS so if you haven't saved the page yet PLEASE I'm begging you to do so. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

When I played this, I was the vampire and Rowan was human. She was inside our IRL home, while I was literally outside in our yard on the steps, in the cold, in the dark, as we played. You do not have to go as fucking immersive as we did when you play this game but if you have the chance you should.

it's not just another banger from Elliot Davis, it's a banger from Elliot Davis plus a literal star-studded group of freaks who are gonna add so much delicious flavor to an already stunning game?????

ONE WEEK until the campaign for To Feel Your Warmth goes live! In addition to the core team of myself, illustrator @egallagher.bsky.social, and editor @goblinmixtape.bsky.social, we've got a killer list of TWENTY FOUR incredibly talented guest contributors

The Dorkspawn household is, as a duo, going through a bit of a rough little time and we are behind on the next episode. We WILL prevail but in the meantime I suggest you listen to some robin + dillin two player RPGs on One Shot: HUNT(er/ed) Tacklebox The Cryptid Show Links ⤵️

NEW EPISODE! Dillin deals with the strange happenings in the One Shot studio by calling in to, and bothering, a late-night radio host. ft. @superdillin.bsky.social @captainkrail.bsky.social Links Below 🔗⬇️

I really think @captainkrail.bsky.social designed one of the best world-building games I've ever played and it's partially because of how "losing" continues to effect the map, world, and story. I think it's such a visually and tactile way to build a world together and I want more people to try it.

The stupid host of One Shot decided to quit smoking and apparently that's hard or something. ANYWAY I recommend you check out a few of my recent favorites: The CryptID Show - Studioverse lore + Robin & Dillin A Fool's Errand - great rp and fun innuendo RCDB - it's a rom com with bombs

Curious how you can help? We ask that you sign our petition for Wizards to voluntarily recognize our union, share it with your communities, and keep an eye on this account for future updates! actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

oh my god what an exciting day!!!!! All's Fair is live on itch so now you can go buy yourself a VERY pretty VERY horny rpg!!!!!!!!

!Spoiler Warning! NEW EPISODE! Our characters follow the star into the darkest place they can think of to try to complete the prophecy and bring a little bit of sin back to the world ft @superdillin.bsky.social @yesnogoodbye.ca @bmars.bsky.social @rahrah.bsky.social @tallnerdapollo.bsky.social 🔗⬇️

look I would LOVE to do concise, clippable jokes on our show so more people will listen but at the same time, if we got famous we'd have to delete the podcast so really this is for the preservation of media.

Our bits are too long to clipfarm =( @captainkrail.bsky.social @superdillin.bsky.social New Dorkspawn! After this 9 minute long goof session, we talk about the last section of Taris in Knights of the Old Republic!!!

While we wait very patiently for To Feel Your Warmth by @moreblueberries.bsky.social to start breaking our hearts, I wanted to revisit all of The Time We Have aps that did the same - There's been a BUNCH more so the playlist has been updated!!

New Dorkspawn!!! We explored the lower and under city of Taris in our most recent episode covering Knights of the Old Republic and we are REALLY seeing the seeds that sprout into Dragon Age and Mass Effect later on dorkspawn.carrd.co to listen!

NEW EPISODE! A prophecy has been received that paves the way to bring indulgence back to the world for the first time since the Big Oops, and our characters will bring it to fruition ft @superdillin.bsky.social @yesnogoodbye.ca @bmars.bsky.social @rahrah.bsky.social @tallnerdapollo.bsky.social 🔗⬇️

First mockup! To Feel Your Warmth will be printed as a beautiful ~90 card deck in a rigid box. Coming to crowdfunding on October 20th! Pre-save and help us have the best launch possible! 🩸🚪🌅

New One Shot dayyyyyyy everyone crushed in this series and A Fool's Errand is a very good game with a built-in process for world-building which I love so much

On Dorkspawn all roads lead back to Dragon Age - playing Pyzaak in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for the first time launched us into a conversation about Wicked Grace and in-universe folk games from other video game franchises. dorkspawn.carrd.co

Amaan's AP review series has been so great, I have watched every episode and plan to continue doing so but oh my god they reviewed One Shot's RCDB series I'm joining Amaan in heaping praise onto Shenuque Tissera specifically

🚨NEW ACTUAL PLAY REVIEW🚨 This one was a no-brainer. I had to. I sing praises but not because of any bias but because of the genuine chuckles I had listening to this. Janice Auntie FTW. Rom Com Drama Bomb by @oneshotpod.bsky.social youtu.be/imqyu1p5y3o

I am playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and book club style discussing it with the bestie if you want to play along with us!!

We started our playthrough of KOTOR!! If you want to replay these foundational Bioware games with us, either for the first time or as a revisit, now is the time. Episode 1 covers just the prologue to KOTOR 1. dorkspawn.carrd.co to listen/watch! @superdillin.bsky.social @captainkrail.bsky.social

A. My sister's debut roleplaying game experience, captured on audio!!! B. Monsters Ate My Homework is such a fun game i loved it and I think Amaan made something really great here. C. This whole cast works with children in some capacity and I think it REALLY shows in how they play them!

I haven't played KOTOR in so long I might as well be playing it for the first time which is VERY exciting for me
