If you’ve ever wondered how a group of “seasoned” (alright, middle-aged) blokes handles a game built on political intrigue and personal horror rather than just looting gold from goblins, this is the episode for you. We’re stepping out of the dungeon and into the shadows to show you that no matter your age or experience, there’s always a new story worth telling.

Now, it's Time to .... Slice and Dice!

We talk about what comes next: the growing time commitment, the emotional rollercoaster of your first character, and the new worlds that open up beyond the table. From painting miniatures and buying dice sets you definitely don’t need, to joining clubs, conventions, and making new friends — it’s all part of the fun (and chaos).

Barry’s moving to Scotland and might have to start his own society, Jon’s finally upgraded his laptop from the Windows 98 era, and Stephen’s recovering from seven years of DM duty — so the gang’s all here, older, wiser, and slightly more bewildered.

If you’ve just started playing or are wondering what you’ve got yourself into, this is the perfect way to begin Season 2.

We explain how it works, what you get, and why we’ve launched it. There’s banter, bad ad slogans, and the usual ribbing — plus some talk about upcoming subscriber-only campaigns like Call of Cthulhu: Masks of Nyarlathotep and Alien RPG Evolved.

If you’ve enjoyed the show so far, this is how you get more of it — more laughs, more games, and the occasional accidental nap with Jon.

For newcomers, this shows how Session Zero naturally moves from building characters and backstory into the adventure itself. By the end, our alter egos are ready, the hooks are in place, and the story is about to unfold.

In this episode, our newly formed party face their first real challenge together: a perilous climb, a 100ft drop, and the risks that come with pushing forward. It’s a tense mix of problem-solving, roleplay, and teamwork, all playing out as naturally as it would at any real in-person table.

For new players, it’s a glimpse of how the game shifts from character setup into high-stakes adventure. For returning listeners, it’s the moment the dice – and the danger – really start to matter.

In this episode, we shift from individual origins to shared purpose, as the group begins their journey in earnest. The roleplay is still low-pressure and grounded, just like a real first session, but we’re moving into party dynamics, character interplay, and setting the tone for the game ahead.

If you’ve been following along, this is where things start to click — and if you’re new to the hobby, it’s a great example of how a campaign begins to come to life.

Whether you’re a newcomer looking to understand how characters take shape, or a veteran who enjoys the storytelling spark of Session Zero, this episode captures that transition from rules to roleplay.

The conversation ranges from personal highlights—like the unexpectedly popular First Session Essentials—to the highs (breaking into the UK games podcast charts) and lows (technical hiccups and Barry’s antics). They discuss how listener feedback has shaped their approach, and express genuine gratitude for the community that’s formed around the show.

Looking ahead to Season 2, the hosts reveal plans to include actual-play sessions, feature guest voices from their vibrant RPG club, and explore a wider range of systems beyond D&D. It’s a heartfelt send-off for the season, with the promise of even more stories, laughs, and dice rolls to come.

The conversation highlights common pitfalls and player experiences—like the rigidity of lawful good in morally grey scenarios, the unpredictability of chaotic neutral characters, and the challenge of making true neutral feel meaningful. The hosts reflect on their own alignment mishaps and preferences, injecting humour and personal anecdotes along the way.

They also explore how alignments can evolve throughout a campaign, acting as tools for character growth rather than rigid labels. The discussion touches on the history of alignments in D&D, how they’ve changed across editions, and why modern players often interpret them more flexibly.

Whether you’re a stickler for rules or a free-spirited wildcard, this episode offers practical insight and plenty of laughs to help you rethink your next character’s moral compass.

They delve into horror and survival games where tension and vulnerability take precedence over heroics, contrast narrative-driven systems like Vampire: The Masquerade with D&D’s level-focused structure, and celebrate licensed games such as Alien and Blade Runner for their accessible, story-rich worlds. Throughout, the hosts stress that a passionate GM and an open mind are key to unlocking the full potential of RPGs.

The episode closes with practical advice on helping D&D veterans try new systems, encouraging experimentation to keep the hobby vibrant and creatively fulfilling.

Stephen, the D&D veteran, shares insights from playing every edition since the 80s, while John highlights how the polished resources make the game approachable. Barry, with five years’ experience, reflects on overcoming the nerves of stepping into the Dungeon Master role.

The team explores D&D’s 50-year heritage, the visual appeal of its books, and its rise in pop culture thanks to shows like Stranger Things. They discuss how D&D inspires creativity across literature, film, and gaming, and how its modular rules balance simplicity for beginners with depth for veterans.

Combat, magic systems, character creation, and the thrill of levelling up all get attention, alongside the community spirit D&D fosters through local groups and online forums.

With personal stories and practical advice, the episode captures what makes D&D not just a game, but a cultural phenomenon that keeps welcoming new generations of players.

Mark, John, and Barry kick things off with sandbox games, where player freedom drives the story. John champions this open style, while Barry notes the challenge of keeping players engaged. They move on to dungeon crawls and hack-and-slash games—Barry’s favourite—for their straightforward, action-packed gameplay that’s great for beginners.

Survival horror gets a spotlight next, with tense decisions and brutal combat. Mark and Barry reflect on Call of Cthulhu and how fear and vulnerability shape the experience. The team then discusses mystery and investigation games, comparing narrative-heavy systems to more combat-focused ones like D&D.

Finally, they touch on epic campaigns—long, character-driven arcs that D&D does best—blending combat, story, and progression.

Packed with advice and personal stories, the episode helps listeners find the RPG style that suits their playstyle and group best.

Now, it's Time to .... Slice and Dice!

Where do you start? Do you need a backstory? Should you plan every detail, or just roll the dice and see what happens? The Blokes are here to guide you through the process, making character creation less intimidating and a lot more fun.

We kick things off with the basics—race, class, background, and how these choices shape not just your stats but your character’s personality. Stephen, our resident rogue enthusiast, talks about finding a solid hook to anchor your character’s motivations. Barry, known for his love of chaos (and pub fights), explains why personality can sometimes be more important than power. And Jon, with his scholarly approach, dives into how characters evolve through play.

What about session zero? We discuss why talking with your DM and fellow players before the first session can make all the difference, helping to set expectations and avoid common pitfalls.

The Blokes also share their first-ever D&D characters, proving there’s no “wrong” way to start—whether you build an elaborate backstory or just jump in and see where the adventure takes you.

So grab your dice and a character sheet—it’s time to roll up your first adventurer!

We start with the essentials—yes, you’ll need dice, but don’t panic if you don’t have your own set (yet). Digital vs. paper character sheets? Both have their place, though the Blokes have strong opinions on which one actually helps you learn the game. 

Then there are the extras. Miniatures, reference cards, and fancy accessories—do they improve your game or just empty your wallet? The Blokes weigh in on which items genuinely help and which are just part of the RPG rabbit hole we all inevitably fall down.

And of course, the most important question: should you bring snacks? Spoiler: absolutely yes.

To wrap up, the Blokes share their most treasured RPG items, from custom dice boxes to well-worn rulebooks, proving that what matters most isn’t what you bring, but the stories you create.

We dive into the importance of preparation, from understanding basic rules to deciding whether you need a rulebook at all. Do you need to study the lore or have a character fully mapped out before you begin? Not necessarily—but it can enhance your experience! We share tips on balancing background knowledge with the joy of discovering your character during play.

The Blokes discuss character creation, whether to arrive with a clear concept in mind, and why focusing on fun rather than "min-maxing" can lead to a more enjoyable first session. We also explore the role of game lore and how understanding the setting can enrich your experience without overwhelming you.

Ultimately, it’s not about memorizing rules or crafting the perfect character—it’s about taking that first step, leaning on the support of your group, and immersing yourself in the collaborative storytelling that makes RPGs so special.

Now, it's Time to .... Slice and Dice!

First up: online gaming. The Blokes share their experiences with digital platforms like Roll20 and Foundry, exploring the pros and cons. Barry reflects on how online gaming became a lifeline during lockdown, keeping social connections alive and even boosting mental health. Jon highlights the convenience of gaming from anywhere, but also flags the frustrations of technical hiccups and mic etiquette.

Then it’s over to the in-person table. Stephen argues that nothing beats the natural flow of conversation and camaraderie around a physical table, where character interactions and storytelling come alive. While online platforms offer accessibility for those with social anxiety or mobility challenges, the group agrees that in-person play delivers a unique and irreplaceable magic.

Ultimately, it’s not about which is “better” but what works for you. Whether you’re joining a local game or logging in from miles away, RPGs are all about connection, creativity, and community. The Blokes encourage listeners to embrace whatever format fits their life and enjoy the rich experiences these games provide. Ready to roll the dice? There’s a whole world of adventure waiting for you.

Now, it's Time to .... Slice and Dice!

For years, we’ve been introducing people to RPGs in our local community, while running one of the largest RPG weekly clubs in London, and now we’re inviting you, wherever you are, to join the adventure. If you’ve ever been curious about what RPGs are or how to get started, we’re here to guide you. Our goal is simple: to inspire adults who’ve never played before—or are returning after years away—to give RPGs a try.

In this episode, we’ll start at the very beginning: What is an RPG? We’ll assume you know nothing and break it down in a way that’s friendly, relatable, and easy to understand. Sure, you can Google it and get a textbook definition, but we’re here to give you our perspective on that definition. 

This podcast isn’t just about explaining the basics—it’s about building a community and following your journey into this amazing hobby. So, give us a chance, and let’s see if we can convince you that role-playing games might just be the adventure you didn’t know you needed.
