About this listen

The rules are changing...

The Mechanics Guild podcast tests the boundaries of storytelling and game mechanics.

What happens when a party remains the same but the rules of their world, and even their own identities, change?

We seek to answer these questions, and more, in a riotous, crunchy, genre-bending ride that follows three adventurers on a quest to make a name for themselves in a weird and wild world - BUT our heroes are constantly taking on brand new Tabletop Role-Playing Game systems, from character sheet creation to skill resolutions.

A new actual play podcast with a game-changing twist from the co-creator of "Dungeons & Dragons The Twenty-Sided Tavern."

What will happen when our players take on a different RPG system? Will we be able to get through a campaign? Will any of us remember any of the rules? And did anyone remember to bring any dice?


Follow the adventure and find out what happens on your favorite podcast platform this fall!
