Living RPG Campaigns, He-Man, Chuck Norris, Cyborg with Austin Trunick

Hosted by Matt Davids, the Dicegeeks.com Tabletop RPG Show is a deep dive into the craft and inspiration behind role-playing games. This isn't just a series of play sessions; it's a conversation about the tools that make those sessions memorable. We explore how understanding film history can shape a campaign's pacing, how myths from around the world offer templates for epic villains and heroes, and how archaeological discoveries can flesh out the ruins your players will explore. The goal is to arm you, whether you're a seasoned Game Master or a curious player, with a richer well of ideas to draw from. Each episode pulls from literature, game design, and broader storytelling traditions to help you build more compelling worlds and characters. Think of this podcast as a friendly workshop where the discussion might start with a Dungeons & Dragons rule but quickly travel to the roots of an ancient legend or the structure of a classic novel, all with the practical aim of leveling up your game. You'll come away from each conversation with actionable insights and a new perspective on how to weave knowledge into your storytelling, making every roll of the dice part of a more meaningful narrative.
