The Analytic Dice Podcast Answers the Question, “Who is the Analog Union?”

Analytic Dice is a podcast by Kevin and Gabe that covers a new game system every month. We started with Tunnels & Trolls but have also covered ShadowDark, Crown & Skull, Jackals, and many other systems. It is not an AP but a discussion of systems and our opinions on how they play.

Over the last year or so, we’ve had the pleasure of reviewing the games made by some members of the Analog Union. In addition, our bonus podcast Analytic Dice Studio features interviews with creators, including some of the Analog Union folks.

That’s it for this week from me. Now, off to play another game of BURN 2d6!

Under the Shadow of the Noon-Day Witch is the newest third-party adventure for Sickest Witch RPG, from Ham & Egg Publishing

Check out the trailer. 

Written and illustrated by Sally Cantirino and Geo Collazo, this standalone tale brims with political intrigue, fire and brimstone, and the brutal machinery of medieval torture, all driven by Purity Rose in their crusade to cleanse the world of witches.

Eon from the Arcane Collective has been threatening to write a Forbidden Lands scenario and he finally did it. A Simple Plan was written as a concise one-shot demo to show off the travel, combat, and diplomacy rules while giving a taste of the setting and lore. It’s brimming with hand-drawn illustrations and it’s available from DriveThruRPG. Eon will have printed copies at ArcaneCon!

What is Forbidden Lands? “Forbidden Lands is a new take on classic fantasy roleplaying. In this open-world survival roleplaying game, you’re not heroes sent on missions dictated by others – instead, you are raiders and rogues bent on making your own mark on a cursed world. You will discover lost tombs, fight terrible monsters, wander the wild lands and, if you live long enough, build your own stronghold to defend.” (Taken from their official copy)

Sounds cool to you? Grab the FREE quick start rules here! There will be two games of Forbidden Lands being run at ArcaneCon, including a session by Eon himself!

Have a great week!
