Deep Dives

In this patron-exclusive Aphid Lounge, Daniel and Courtney are joined by their friend Jon Parsons to chat about how GMs and players can collaborate for better gaming experiences and stronger worldbuilding. We talk everything from session zeroes and social contracts to how GMs can include quiet players and how players can get away with being a crazed serial killer in a party of otherwise good characters!

In our continued deep-dive into the Path of Thorns we begin to explore the darker side of these peace-loving pseudo-socialists. We also explore some of the deeper themes within the Path itself while exploring some Points of Interest, Monsters, and "Capital" within the nation-state. We also create a dungeon in our first dungeon-jam, similar to what we've done in previous interviews.

Hoo boy we got a spicy one for y'all today. In our first of another two-part series of deep dives into nation-states, we examine the Path of Thorns, a place where healthcare, housing, and education are all free and guaranteed to each citizen. Of course a place like that has to belong in a fantasy world right? Anyway, we give a brief overview of the Path of Thorns, their political system, resources, and culture while talking shit about Ed Greenwood and getting sidetracked by some heavy political theory.
