Born To Lose - Torchbearer RPG Podcast
A variety show podcast for the Torchbearer tabletop roleplaying game. Expect a mix of interviews, boastful tales, gameplay insights, and follow along with our actual play campaign. Ross is our regular host with different guests every week. If you'd like to come onto the pod, please contact us! https://www.torchbearerrpg.com/ Torchbearer is a riff on the early model of fantasy roleplaying games. In it, you take on the role of an adventurer seeking his or her fortune. To earn that fortune, you must explore forlorn ruins, brave terrible monsters and retrieve forgotten treasures. However, this game is not about being a hero. It is not about fighting for what you believe. This game is about exploration and survival. You may become a hero. You might have to fight for your ideals. But to do either of those things, you must prove yourself in the wilds. Because there are no jobs, no inheritance, no other opportunities for our deadbeat adventurers. This life is their only hope to prosper in this world.
