Show Notes
In this episode, the RPGBOT crew explores how to duck and cover in TTRPGS, and how to do it with style. We explore the mechanics of cover, including using your allies as meat shields and ducking behind any convenient bush or bit of rubble that you can. Will it save you from explosions? Probably not. But an AC bonus never hurts.
The RPGBOT.net Christmas Gift Recommendations Are Coming!
Fall is in the air, and that means two things: pumpkin spice and impending doom in your campaign notes. But before the frost settles and your dice freeze in place, don’t forget: the annual RPGBOT.net Christmas Gift Guide is just around the corner. We’ve scoured the multiverse to find the best gifts for your favorite gamer, GM, and dice-hoarding friend, so keep an eye on RPGBOT.net for the upcoming list!
And While You’re Thinking About Gifts!
While you’re thinking about the perfect gifts for your favorite gamers, don’t overlook Randall’s novella Melancon—a thoughtful, evocative story about identity, reflection, and finding light in the darkness. It’s the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone who loves a good narrative arc—and it pairs nicely with a warm drink and the quiet hum of a dying generator. Pick up Melancon today, and remind yourself that even after the end of the world, good stories endure.
