The Tavern needs to be a safe place and comply with the law. In the UK the OSA requires us to know the age of our members and posters, and yet the UK Govt. has not provided a method to do this that is affordable to small voluntary BBS like ours. To that end, all members are safe and secure, we know you must be adults by now. However if you wish to join as a member, please contact us using the form at the [very] bottom of the page and we shall do a one to one verifiaction.

I've just finished listening to the first season of 'Play to Find Out': the Patreon exclusive add-on to the Quinns Quest YouTube reviews of current not-D&D games. In Play to Find Out, Quinns runs a much older not-D&D game for two of his friends, and the first one was Skyrealms of Jorune. Which he did without giving the players any setting or rules information so their generous and genuine exploration of the game was caught on tape. They seemed to have a lot of fun/frustration (funstration?) navigating all of the vocabulary!
Quinns Quest is on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@Quinns_Quest
And the first episode of Play to Find Out is free here: Spotify Apple
The other three episodes of the first game and an after-action discussion available to Patrons: https://www.patreon.com/c/qquest/posts
I'm not enough of a boardgamer to have been a regular Shut Up and Sit Down watcher, but Quinns has a good, entertaining style in his reviews and explorations of games.
Also, and completely differently, has the Lovecraft Investigations: Crowley Kickstarter been mentioned here yet? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crowleyaudio/lovecraft-investigations-crowley - It's from the creator of the Pleasant Green Universe shows, and is fictional characters presenting a factual podcast.

Been listening to the Box Tunnel 20 Survivors' Group which is a Being Human podcast. I have to admit I'm not that interested in the individual episode dissections but enjoyed the ones with actress Rebecca Cooper, writer/show runner Toby Whithouse and spin-off novelist Simon Guerrier. All had something interesting to say about the creative processes in their individual fields and came across as nice people to boot.
