Improv Tabletop - [UPDATE] ImpTab to Start Releasing Every Other Week
play

01/01/25 • 5 min

Life sure keeps changing, eh? Here's our latest scheduling update.

TL;DR: Ned's life is getting busier, so we'll be switching from releasing weekly to releasing every other week for the foreseeable future. No changes will be made to the Patreon reward offerings.

Starting sometime this spring, two new longform campaigns will be releasing! Here on the public feed, we'll be reviving The Tension Builders using the Bump in the Dark system, which reimagines the classic Monster of the Week RPG using the Forged in the Dark framework. And on the Patreon feed, the cast will be hearkening back to our home gaming roots with a Dungeon World campaign centered around themes of Vikings and Norse Mythology.

Thanks for coming along for the ride, everybody! Much love and stuff.

What makes Improv Tabletop so special? Well, the big details are in the episode, but we'll sum it up here. It boils down to two things.

First, unlike most tabletop shows, this show is totally, completely, 100% improvised. Everybody, even the GM, is coming to the table with a clean slate, so EVERYTHING you're hearing is made up on the spot.

Second, we're playing a wonderful (yet sadly underrepresented) game system called Fate Accelerated (FAE). We love playing all kinds of tabletop games here at Improv Tabletop, but we found FAE to be perfect for our improvised format.

So join us as we create a brand new world from scratch every month!
