Decisions and Dark Sorcery

About this episode

Che Webster discusses the current state of Roleplay Rescue, his experiments with AI tools for gaming, and provides updates on various tabletop groups.

In this episode I lay out where  Roleplay Rescue  stands after the whirlwind of twenty episodes in Season 16. I dive into my “dark sorcery” experiments with AI—how tools like Lumo, Gemini and Notebook LM have become useful sidekicks for prep, NPC stats, and campaign organisation. Finally, I give listeners a quick roundup of the various tabletop groups you’re shepherding, from GURPS sci‑fi to D&D 5e, and thank the Patreon supporters who keep the hobby alive at the School RPG Club. Thanks to Alex for the call-in. Game on!
