Our work on The Red Room YouTube channel has slowed down a bit while I’m learning my way around Affinity Publisher and Affinity Photo. On the bright side, unless things to terribly wrong there will be something (partly) new and gialloish coming soon.
Today’s Red Room guests are Heathendog and Max Liao. We had a fun chat about their YouTube channel, role-playing games we love, Max’s game design projects and… well, and pronouns, we had to talk about pronouns!
Welcome to St. Cloud is a surreal horror campaign setting for Postmortem Studio’s Actual Fucking Monsters, inspired by Twin Peaks, John Carpenter’s The Fog and the TV show Carnivàle.

We talked to Chris Miller about his own role-playing game, science-fantasy ANKUR: Kingdom of the Gods, and also about Sword and Caravan, an upcoming RPGPundit OSR setting book about the Crusades and the Silk Road,, which will be published by Miller’s Mad Scribe Games.
Barney Dicker, the host of Loco Ludus, a podcast about tabletop game design, talked to us about his current projects: Neo-Triassic Shoreline Regression Syndrome, a system-agnostic solarpunk investigative survival horror module (now on crowdfunding) and games League of Eternal Guardians and Aluvial Plains.
