Episode 52: We Have Inq28 at Home...

Jan 26 2025 98 mins

In this episode we're talking about building that local community. It's the question we get asked the most - "how do I build a scene, or run something inq28". Instead of our normal answer of "DIY or die," we thought we'd come up with some strategies for you, and talk about ways to introduce your freak little indie games to friends and strangers.

Our boy Dave (davidhoskins) flew up north to hang with us at ArcaneCon and dive a little deeper into RPGs and their relationship with our beloved tabletop wargames.

We've got the god of terrain on today - BLERZ (@blerzcraft) and we are deep in campaign plans. Last week we mentioned trying to get a largescale campaign created using the In Rust We Trust server (link below), but we decided we would take a moment to talk about campaigns in general.
