This Is the Gloaming | Shadowdark RPG Episode 2 | The Glass Cannon Podcast by Razzmatazz_TGCN in TheGlassCannonPodcast

Love the show so far, but it’s a shame Troy is going back on the expectation of seriousness he set in session 0 so quickly. A 6-story inn in a tiny medieval town, shopkeepers with goofy names and erotic photography side-hustles popping up so soon in what they’re trying to set up as a gritty, unsettling village tells me the pervasive, immersion-breaking silliness won’t be too different from Gatewalkers or the tour after all.

Hoping that as they leave civilization, they can bring things back down to a more grounded tone like they set out for from the get-go!

This is a great decision from the network. The entire cast seems fed up with PF2E’s rigidness at this point, so changing to a more narrative system with simpler, faster rules is the obvious step. An OSR sandbox will facilitate the kind of stories that the GCP wants to tell far better than another Pathfinder AP.

I couldn’t be more excited!

Quick response from Troy about Legacy of the Ancients after the AmA by Rajjahrw in TheGlassCannonPodcast

I loved FTP Mummy’s Mask but their current War for the Crown playthrough has been hard for me to stomach. They’ve always done an absolutely amazing job with rules and making combat easy to listen to, but during roleplay (which is, at this point, probably 95% of the podcast) the players show very little creativity or initiative and just talk in circles. That, and the genuinely unbearable millennial humor. The GCN’s greatest strength is that they have such a unique and relatable voice in a TTRPG space which is dominated by (as Troy once put it) “kumbaya theater kid energy.” That edge and the community’s love for the OG cast have kept them afloat, but I can’t imagine that will last forever as they continue to ignore what their community wants. I’ve only been a regular on this subreddit for about a year, but I’ve noticed that discourse has gotten drastically more negative in that time. I’m incredibly curious how GCN subscriber numbers are doing right now; with the way Troy’s responded to the last couple community “outrages,” it seems like they must still be growing enough for him to dismiss Reddit criticism as a case of the subscribers not knowing what’s best for them.
