Mindless Ones

This Worm is Cosmic! In the latest episode of Rosie and Ad’s podcast about creating great TTRPG encounters, the team explore monsters as traps, zero gravity made simple, and the surprising importance of prog rock aesthetics. Yeah, they weren’t expecting that either.

Rosie and Ad are back with the latest and possibly greatest installment of their podcast about encounter creation in tabletop RPGs. This time they go nose to metal nose with Rosie’s Mountain Witch encounter and discuss sneaking, witchy folklore, soft fantasy and fabulous chalets for Bond villain witches.

In Gelatinous Cube Podcast #4, Adam and Rosie explore TikTok’s favourite Backrooms as a D&D location and ask what happens when dungeons go mad. They discuss horror in TTRPGs, evil geometry and some very nasty yellow wallpaper.

Up from the depths of the dungeon bubbles the latest podcast in the Mindless Ones family, Gelatinous Cube from Rosie and Adam of Diane Podcast.

Every episode the DMing duo pull apart a tabletop RPG encounter of their creation: why it works, where it could – or did – go wrong during play and what’s cool about it. You’ll also hear from the Gelatinous Cube (aka Mark/Amy Poodle), for an acid dream take on the encounter concept.

Full, system neutral write-ups of the each encounter are available in the shownotes, alongside the Cube’s wild and weird reimaginings.

So if you love TTRPGs, grab your ten foot pole, don your +1 Headphones of Listening and fire up your pod-catcher.

See you in pit trap!

Join us for heroic catharsis, midwinter bloodbaths, the meaning of the office party and a definitive and surprising answer to the question: is Die Hard a Christmas movie?

FRIENDS. This is Rosie speaking, you may know me from Mindless-sphere podcasts Diane or The Shadow Trap. I am here to ask you a question. Do you like video games? Do you like the stuff that’s in video games? Yes? Well then it’s nothing but good news!

getObject is a new podcast about things in games. Each episode me and my co-host Paul try to find the spirit of an object and the way it lives in games. The first three episodes are up so you can join us for discussions of KEYS, MAPS, and GORE.

Please enjoy, and if you do enjoy please rate and review us on your favourite podcasting service and follow us @getobjectpod. CHEERS!

The woods around Twin Peaks have been speaking to us through logs and dreams. This week on Diane it’s over a week since Laura was murdered and a mouth has opened in the sky.

Working with the theme of black holes we consider gravitational pull, disappearing acts, and space. Creamed corn vanishes, Audrey is dragged from Cooper’s grasp, and alien messages are delivered.

Is this real, ladies and gentlemen, or some strange and twisted dream?

Expect: Messages from space, James’s singing and ruptures in reality

The moon may be high / Sha bop sha bop  / But I can’t see a thing in the sky / I only have eyes for you

I don’t know if we’re in a garden / Or on a crowded avenue / Sha bop sha bop

You are here / Sha bop sha bop / And so am I / Sha bop sha bop

Maybe millions of people go by / But they all disappear from view / And I only have eyes for you

Thanks to all our listeners, old and new, fake and true. We always want to hear from you!
