Writer and RPG game designer Tristan Zimmerman returns to the podcast. We tackle historical situations you can use in your role-playing games and Dungeons and Dragons today. First, we touch on Montaillou a spy-infested anthill village that can give player characters major headaches. Then we move on to Olympic spirits from the Arbatel’s Grimoire. After that, we dive headlong into scholarly NPCs from Aubrey’s Lives. Take your RPG campaigns to the next level by using real history.
