TC Patrick (Dice Company)

And that reminded me that I explored exactly that question a year or so back (featuring the lovely Harry from @dicecompany.bsky.social ) and that it also feels appropriate for the season, too...

Once again I have infiltrated Dice Towers and left my Big Thoughts and Big Feelings (and love of incidental characters) scrawled over their walls. Here they place it on their virtual fridge as I go off to find more crayons to eat. Thanks to @alexmorrison81.bsky.social for editing assistance.

Who’s the greatest minor character in all of fiction? (books, TV, movies - anything)

In a vague effort to distract from doom scrolling can we all pipe up with a random but interesting fact please? For example, the Britney Spears hit Toxic was written about the irish supervet Noel Fitzpatrick.

In which Kip saves Kalro’s life. He’s lucky Kip is such a hero…

A Shot At Redemption E18 - The Numbers Don't Add Up Only one Leatherback remains, but half of our heroes are grievously wounded - will this first contact with the saurian threat also be the last? #ttrpg #starwars #actualplay

Bring Down the Sky Episode 06 - Death From Above! With alien monstrosities plummeting towards them and something even bigger and scarier blocking their way out, can the fireteam hold out long enough for Valkyrie to carve them an exit? Acid hisses and gravity warps - it's the Mecha Hack!

Podcasters - how do you deal with negative feedback? Our approach is: disarmingly sweet (and of course learn if it’s constructive) You hate us? Fair enough and thanks for getting in touch ❤️🎲

Criticism should be a conversation, a handshake between people who see each other's hard work and understand the labor of love is worthy of respect and care. Even if I really don't like something, I see their pride and smile with them. I strive to respect even that which is not my thing

Sneaky peeky of the first draft of the final set of the Small Embers campaign. @dicecompany.bsky.social #dice #dicecompanypodcast #podcast #ttrpg #dnd
