We have to have Fede back on soon! This was a great conversation, and I think we barely scratched the surface re the intersections of politics/theory/games
Absolutely same
Oh no! Sorry to hear that!
On this episode, we sit down with Arakauna Media’s Federico Sohns @araukana.bsky.social to talk about their games Nibiru and Zephyr. We explore Nibiru’s bicameral mind mechanics, Zephyr’s stateless, post-debt economies, Fede’s inspirations and research, and more. #podcast #gamedesign #rpg #tabletop

This video game looks interesting—All Will Rise: a narrative courtroom deck-builder about taking a billionaire to court for the murder of a river

Never played a narrative deck-builder, but I love the concept

Great thoughts from the chat on game design, innovative mechanics, and post-apocalypse as a genre
Join Wythe and comic book artist Tony Chao tonight for a special, super low-key Why We Work: a stream about making a game about a comic book. In this case, we're looking at using the Grit System to bring to life Tony's wordless post-apocalyptic indie comic, HAZMATT, as a TTRGP. #comicbooks #ttrpg
We have a new streaming series popping off tonight. Major thanks to everyone who has tuned in to watch the Stillfleet Studio talk about indie RPGs over the last year.
We've seen some enormous growth, and we're proud to push discussions about innovative design. Cheers to more in 2026!
It is here. We haven’t focused on it, because we love Danse Macabre and needed to bring it to life. But we really also love the engine behind the game.
Get it for free. Make your own games! *The Grit System System Reference Document* + license stillfleet.itch.io/the-grit-sys...
We’re back with Why We Roll in 2026! After a short break, we’re kicking off Season 3 with a preview of upcoming guests and episodes, exciting TTRPG ideas, and a sneak peek at our new projects. Thanks for listening—here’s to Season 3!

Trinkets grant advantage on bling and satisfied nodding checks
Love this manifesto and think it applies to games, too. Make games that take work to engage with, across multiple encounters. Assume players are smart and creative.
