Making the Oz RPG

 

We were joined by Andrew Kolb, who shared his design process for the new Oz TTRPG setting. This is Andrew's follow up to the the Ennie Award nominated Neverland TTRPG. 

Using inspiration from Frank Baum's novels, Andrew combined his mid-century styled illustrations with solid layout and typography to create a cohesive setting book that is compatible with almost all flavors of Dungeons and Dragons.

Why do we love Monsters?

I was joined by Doctor Emily Zarka the writer and host of Monstrum - an award-winning series featured on PBS's Storied YouTube channel. 

Monstrum examines the complex histories and motivations behind some of the world's most famous monsters, and has featured many that would be familiar to D&D players such as the Basilisk and Trolls.
