Episode 9: Warrens & Word Use

Til Dice Do Us Part

Things are a bit manic here at Til Dice Do Us Part Headquarters so we don't have time for much prep - we just have to leap straight into our next Elevator Pitch, even if Ailsa's introduction is.... a bit suspect. But don't let that put you off - we've got a lot to say about The Warren, a game which lets you roleplay out the life of rabbits with a heavy dose of Watership Down. Find out what we make of it, how the rules handle lagomorph adventures, and what noise George makes when a Python reference slips in.
There's also another bit of World Building chat, this time on the topic of languages and how to use them in games beyond just saying "Erm, I know Common and Elven". We're not suggesting you go full J.R.R. Tolkein but there's things you can do to help make a richer world - such as digging into why your characters know the languages they do and what power a few words of slang have to set the tone. Along the way we'll touch on Nadsat, Polari, tlhIngan Hol, and the youth-talk of Neo-Gotham.
Also, Shoved Granny games have partnered with us yet again! They assure us this game idea is much better than their last few and that you won't hesitate to back their Kickstarter for a game based on a BAFTA award winning drama. It's the bomb!
