In need of cohosts to start a TTRPG podcast 12
Hello everyone I am a veteran TTRPG game designer looking to start a TTRPG podcast a lot of the podcasts I've been listening to about tabletop games really only focus all around like self-contained adventures and really don't talk about design news what other aspects of the hobby which I think are important
to be covered a lot of it is just boring sketches which I have nothing against personally it's just something I'm not that interested in I really wanna start a podcast that talks a lot more about the fundamental ideas of game design as well as news and other such topics
the podcast would go for about two to three hours every single week and would be done live
about an hour hour and a half of TTRPG news and new systems people should check out
an hour of advice about game design how to format things setting ideas
30 minutes of gm advice
and weekly concepts for power gaming and how to write good solid PC's
I also wanna do episodes talking about the history of moral panics about TTRPG especially in the 90s because I think that's an interesting topic to cover but that would be more standalone episodes
what I'm looking for in a Co host someone
who has a background in TTRPG's
decent microphone webcam is optional
what skills do you bring to the table
for examples video editing art design communication skills codeine and other such things
as well as a flexible schedule feel free to DM me if interested

Playtest and review of the ttrpg When Sky And Sea Were Not Named
We are Firebreathing Kittens, a podcast that records ourselves playing a different tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) every week. This week we have a free actual play podcast of When Sky And Sea Were Not Named. This two hour long recording, called “Tales Of The Wind”, demonstrates players and a Game Master actually playing so you can listen to what it’s like and maybe try it yourself.
About When Sky And Sea Were Not Named:
In the creator’s own words, quote, "When Sky and Sea Were Not Named is tabletop RPG about heroes who protect a realm of floating islands from the forces of chaos and death. It takes place on a far-future science-fantasy version of the planet Jupiter—called the Skysea by its denizens. The game features original mechanics and a setting inspired by the mythology of the ancient Canaanites, later known as Phoenicians—the fine folks who invented the alphabet. It's got:
- Ancient sentient pool noodle weapons
- Battle-jellyfish and skyseahorse mounts
- Clay golem amnesiacs from a lost kingdom
- Dynamic combat focused on risking your defenses
- Empire with animal-headed citizens and magical technology
- Four origins, six callings, and ~40 types of lore, yielding tons of character options
- Guide (GM) supports, including two sample adventures and 40+ NPCs
- Hero pregens (six of 'em) for players who want to jump right in
- Ideals that can be invoked to gain advantage on actions and challenges
- Jump attacks
- ... and more!
The game includes, all for free:
- 170-page core rulebook
- Hero Sheets and Island Sheets, both online and print
- 50-page adventure book for Guides
- a Foes & Folks tracker for Guide-controlled NPCs
There's also a mobile-friendly, searchable website with all the rules and hero options: https://www.whenskyandsea.com If you're curious about the game, want to meet other players, or have any feedback, visit the WSSWNN Discord server—I'd be honored to hear from you!" End quote.

Our reviews of When Sky And Sea Were Not Named after playing it:
Review 1:
“The system could use more details to build a character and level up characters, but the world is very cool and unique. The creatures and locations were fun! The mechanics don't lend much to skills outside of combat, however.”
Review 2:
“The system is somewhat too crunchy for my taste but the abilities are pretty neat and the website does make things easier to reference. However that can be a problem with some groups. However, like many rpgs, most of the ability focus on combat and can require the player some clever work arounds for non combat situations. The levelling up mechanics make sense but require a few read throughs and are poorly worded. Probably would be a good idea to either reword them or tweak them to be less confusing.”
Review 3:
“It’s a super interesting setting and deserving of the obvious love that the designers have put into the game. My two cents are with a bare amount of experience in the game, picking it up and drafting a character for a one shot type of adventure so take this with appropriate salt. First, the web site with the hyperlinking and guided mode, is much more user friendly than the pdf. I would consider trying to get a pdf to emulate the functionality of the website. This is minor but everyone agreed the website was much better than the 'book.' Second, when expending experience the notations for the prerequisite was equated to a puzzle game. There is probably a much simpler way to present that concept. I do think your recovery needs to be outlined better. Under rest it talks about recovering Spirit and Stamina, and it talks about life, but makes no mention of Guard and awareness, and it took a bit to find the option for that. Considering it comes back on skipped actions it could be assumed the one hour rest would recover those. We did notice that while the PCs had a scaling system, that the monsters didn’t really have that. And a PC who played like once a week for 6 months based on the scaling given, would be pretty high above even the most dangerous monster. So some thought to that later game scaling could be good to advise on, or perhaps expand upon.”
Plot Summary of Tales Of The Wind:
Ivy, Colette, and Qigiq were sought out by Dr. Harrison Jones, an archaeologist for the Niqamui Natural History Museum to go on a quest. A floating island, shrouded in mist, was passing by Niqamui for the first time in over 1,000 years and he was hoping they could investigate the island and bring him back any artifacts or biological samples they could collect. The island was called “Cloud Forest Island.”
Using an automated air balloon, the adventurers flew up to the floating island and scouted out a landing site. They landed safely in a clearing, surrounded by mist and the sounds of a vast forest filled with bird song and unknown animals.
Colette went off to investigate around them, turning invisible. She came face to face with a creature she had never seen before, quite literally since it was made out of wind. Deciding it wasn’t safe to face it alone, she returned to the ship.
The team decided to hike up to the top of the highest peak to get a better lay of the land and began following a faint path through the forest.
They came across a river, too wide to safely cross, so they followed it upriver to a narrower point. This narrower point sported an old makeshift bridge guarded by three odd creatures. Qigiq identified these three fish people as Kulu, a violent species. Ivy stepped out and charmed them into being her friends (going a little overboard and accidentally creating fanfish). They start to attack Qigiq and Colette when they emerge from the mist, but Qigiq convinces them in their native tongue that they’re a part of Ivy’s entourage.
The Kulu lead the group to a path towards the mountain. After more of a walk, the Kulu stop and sense danger. Ivy tries to convince them to go back to safety, but they refuse to leave her. The group faces down two Elu, octopus-like creatures covered in mismatched armor, but with no heads. Qigiq deftly dispatches one of the Elu in a dazzling arrow attack. Colette battles with the other Elu, neither quite coming out on top, but still impressive. Eventually, Qigiq steps in and finishes the job.
Ivy collected pretty flowers while Qigiq and Colette picked up actually valuable pieces of armor to bring back to Dr. Jones. Suddenly, one of the Kulu’s tongues starts talking to them. It turns out to be a parasite called an Isopu that have a symbiotic relationship with the Kulu. This one’s name is Sovi. Sovi warns the Kittens that they won’t be able to avoid any more fights. The people who live on the mountain are deadly and come down to kill the creatures in the forests regularly.
Fearing for their safety, Ivy convinces the Kulu, along with Sovi, to return to the airship to wait for the Kittens.
They decided to continue to investigate the mountain, convinced that it would hold more valuable artifacts. After rest and a struggle up the mountain, they reach an ancient walled city built into the side of the face of the mountain.
Guards are alerted to their presence and are immediately on alert. They appeared to be ancestors of elves and spoke a form of Elvish. Qigiq, the only speaker of Elvish, decided to communicate and translate somewhat faithfully. He assures the guards that they are just explorers looking around the island and mean no harm.
The guards exchange names with the group. They are led by Istaphil Iwarden, who explains they are in the city of Colovana. It is tradition to trade compliments upon meeting. Istaphil leads the Kittens to meet the scribes, a group of elders who record the city's history and the Cloud Forest island.
The voice of the scribes is named Arlel. He asks to record their history and language. When Colette agrees in common, the scribes cast a spell and can magically speak common. The Kittens introduce themselves. The city of Colovana is a refuge for the elves from the elvish wars on the surface from long ago. They fled but found themselves trapped by the creature of the forest, never leaving except to defend themselves.
Ivy asks if they’ll ever want to come back to the surface since the elves are no longer at war. Arlel says they might someday and that they would seek out the Kittens if they did.
When asked for artifacts, the scribes agreed to trade for items from the surface. Colette trades her cloak for a tapestry.
Istaphil escorts them back to their airship, assuring Ivy that he would not attack the Kulu.
Ivy decides to adopt the Kulu and Colette names them Bippity, Boppity, and Boo. Sovi is forced to tag along. The Kittens return to the Niqamui Natural History Museum and give Dr. Jones all of the artifacts. He thanks them for an amazing find and the Kittens are rewarded for their efforts, which is good since Ivy and Colette now have three extra mouths to feed.
