Bone Throwers Theater

Overview

Welcome to Bone Throwers Theater! We are a RPG actual play podcast. We play both long-term campaigns and one-shot sessions. Our current main campaign is called Wayfinders. It uses the
OpenD6
Space System from West End Games. It is set in a world built using the games Microscope and Reliquary. The characters are crew members of a Wayfinders ship, whose mission is to keep the peace and provide aid to a galaxy trying to re-establish cultural connectivity and advancement after a galactic war spawned a “dark age.” Join us for regular new episodes of Wayfinders. Also, look out for one-shot episodes from a variety of systems such as
Fiasco
,
Inspectres
,
Ten Candles
, and more!

Interviews
Welcome to Weird Games and Weirder People, my name is Diogo Nogueira and I will be your host in a series of interviews or chats I am having with creators and artists from the tabletop RPG scene, especially the weird “Indie” people, who creates more personal and, why not, weirder games, weirder, art, weirder fiction, and so on. That’s the stuff I crave, and I think many of us do as well. Weird Games and Weirder People is a podcast about role playing games and the weird wonderful people bedim them. This is the show where we welcome the weirdness both inside and outside each and everyone of us, and talk about how we harness its power to our creations.

Genesys is a role playing system designed for flexibility and adaptability, specifically tooled to work with any setting imaginable. The Genesys Core Rulebook not only contains an overview of the rules and how the innovative narrative dice system works, but everything a GM and players need to run adventures in five completely different settings.  Everything from equipment to adversaries, character abilities to an overview of narrative tropes, all is provided in the core rulebook for Genesys.
