Jarren’s Development Blog #5 – Expansions

Author: Sanspants Radio March 15, 2025 Duration: 1:41:06

Jackson and Zammit are here to talk about expanding the game! We go over some terrible ideas we had and re-purposing old ideas into brand new concepts.


The Kickstarter is going live on March 18 4pm UK time, we'll be asleep little babies as it's 3am for us but that means we're going to be playing the Tabletop Simulator version of Jarren's Outpost the day before AND the day of the launch on the Sanspants Radio Twitch channel. Keep abreast of socials (the SP+ Discord and the Facebook stuff and nonsense group, everything else I hate looking at) for the exact times but atm it's roughly looking like 7pm Melbourne time on Tuesday 18 and 9am Melbourne time Wednesday 19. I'm not doing the conversions for you. I'm not your dad. If my son asked I'd do it for him. But that's it.

Step into the world of Ogg Nott, a land brimming with secrets and peril, though its inhabitants remain blissfully unaware of its impending fate. This is the setting for D&D is For Nerds, the acclaimed actual play series from Sanspants Radio. Rather than a single continuous saga, the podcast unfolds across distinct seasons, each a self-contained story with a fresh cast of characters and unique dangers to overcome. This structure makes it easy to jump in anywhere, whether you're new to tabletop roleplaying or a seasoned adventurer. For those who stick around, a deeper, centuries-spanning narrative gradually reveals itself, connecting threads between these seemingly isolated tales. The focus is on the collaborative, often hilarious journey of the players themselves as they navigate dungeons, diplomacy, and sheer chaos. Expect a blend of genuine comedy born from improvisation and camaraderie, alongside compelling fiction shaped by dice rolls and desperate decisions. It’s less about stat blocks and more about the stories that emerge when friends gather around a microphone. The result is an immersive and consistently entertaining escape into a game where anything can happen, and usually does.
