In this week's Spotlight, we're talking with DaShawn about a fun home campaign. We hear about nine-hag backstories, Midwestern carnival games, and giant writing in red paint on the side of a barn. Spoilers for
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, I guess, and maybe also
Community?
This campaign uses the
Strixhaven module, which is an official Wizards of the Coast product. We end up discussing the benefits and limitations of running a module-based campaign, which might be helpful for anyone thinking of adapting a module themselves. For previous perspectives on WotC modules, check out
our interview with Perry about Tomb of Annihilation or
our interview with Kyros about Curse of Strahd.
Jake also refers to
our recent interview with Raynee in the context of improv in TTRPGs.
During the interview, we promised we'd link to
Pathfinder. It doesn't look like the occult salon game under development by members of DaShawn's table is ready for release yet. When it is, though, we'll try to get them on the podcast.
Thanks to
Found Family Adventurecrafts for sponsoring this episode! Their designs really do capture the joy and whimsy of a good TTRPG campaign. Go check out their website, pick up some minis and accessories, and tell your friends to do the same.
Thanks to Briar for the intro to this week's episode! We previously heard Briar in the intro to
our interview with Wesley last season. There's an assist in there from Emmett, who also provided the intro for
our interview with Paul and Cailon earlier this season. We first met these two way back in
our onsite interviews at Furlandia!
