All the Tabletop are outplaying us We aim to amuse and we aim to enthuse And Morris is unofficial Tabletop RPG
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Morris's unofficial tabletop RPG talk. We are back after a two-week Christmas and New Year break. I hope we're all feeling appropriately festive out and ready for a super exciting new year of TTRPG news. I am Russ, a.k.a. Morris, or Morris, a.k.a. Russ, and with me this week is...
PJ Coffey from the Southampton Guild of Roleplayers. It's a delight to be here and especially delightful today because I got to rock out to the amazing, mellifluent chords that are the podcast's whole exciting intro theme. I don't normally get to hear it, but I'm glad I got to listen to the full two minutes of it today. It was excellent stuff.
The dancing was especially good.
Dance break was amazing. I did enjoy it. And yeah, a few twirls. Yeah, has one does. Joining us also, we have, well, I'm a little confused with her talk of like camera angles and so forth and all sorts of technical mumbo jumbo, but it is the one. It's the only.
it's me jessica from em publishing hello we are back after two weeks off for yes i hope listeners enjoyed celebrating the new year and christmas or hanukkah or whatever whatever you celebrated uh i hope you you didn't have a nice time did we all have a great christmas and new year i did i did i had a wonderful christmas interview did anybody get any nerdy artifacts
didn't get anything i got a telescope that's not that's quite nerdy but not not ttrpg nerdy fair enough fair enough i still think it counts yeah yeah very happy with that yes that's a good quality nerd
um i got a copy of the savage world superpowers book yes i did specifically request it but that's the way to make sure i get what i read yes yes it is be direct say state your wants and needs the perfect way to do that i got a few nerdy things which i'll share i got um a little cute stocking which has dice on which is very cute i got uh the slow knife tabletop rpg which is um It's a story game for two to four people, and it's about revenge. They think the Count of Monte Cristo, which is really nice. I enjoy playing that. I got a little board game by Oink Games called Five Rafter, which is a dexterity balancing game.
You've got loads of nerdy stuff. I know. That's a bit cruel to give you. Why?
That's a bit cruel.
Well, I mean, famously, dexterity is not your strong suit, I thought.
Hey. You don't have to be good at games to enjoy playing them.
That's true.
And I do like a bit of nerdy cosplay, so I did also get this, which is a crown headband with antlers and deer fawn ears.
Of course you did.
Which, yes, I'm going to wear at Fantasy Forest in the summer, where I'm going to be a fawn of some sort.
It's just like adding to your collection of tiaras.
It is, in a way, adding to my collection of tiaras, but this one has big, giant antlers on, so it also adds about a foot to my height, so maybe people will see me in a crowd.
People will stop just walking into you.
Yeah, exactly. So that's my hope when I go to Fantasy Forest later this year.
A complete bouquet of flowers on your head as well. And, of course, big walnuts, which were something quite special indeed.
Indeed, indeed. So, yes, I hope everyone else got some fun stuff or had some time off or just enjoyed.
I also got socks as well, but I can't show them to you because I'm currently wearing them.
Oh, what do they look like?
And I don't really feel like doing acrobatics right now.
Yeah, that's fair enough.
Amusing, though, that would be for everyone involved.
Well, I feel we're a little bit updated on our lives and games. Shall we tell people about the tabletop RPG news?
I think we should because we have three weeks of news to catch up on.
Where should we start, Russ?
Let's start with the Monster Manual. because the monster manual is coming out very very very soon yeah i know that um some people have advanced copies of it already with an embargo and there's a big press event on monday which means there's going to be a whole load of news articles coming out about the Monster Manual sort of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, next week.
