The Diceology Podcast
Welcome to Diceology — a podcast network for people who take their games seriously and their tables even more seriously.
I'm Mad Jay, GM-at-Large, and this feed used to be one show. Now it's four:
- Muses of Play — Sarah Doom and I muse about creativity and designers
- Dice Unknown — actual-play and behind-the-table stories pulled straight from the games I'm running.
- The Vault — All the episodes that have come before!
Think StoryCorps for gamers, spread across three shows instead of one feed doing everything badly. We talk about where games fit into people's lives, what early gaming was like, what life looks like after the dice are put away — and I still bring my own GM-at-Large adventures into it. What I'm playing, running, or prepping, at the table or online.
Whether you're chasing the latest TTRPG trends or just want the rest of the gamer's story, you're in the right feed.
Let's run those dice. 🎲 🎲 🎲

Last Week in Gaming with Mad Jay
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It's been a couple of weeks and I have lots to cover!
We played our first session of Pirates of Drinax using Cortex Prime -it was the BOMB!
Talked about playing Burning Wheel with my lady friend, she brought it up and pitched a premise inspired by...The Lion King. We also played the Harry Potter Hogwarts battle game, the co-op, and the PvP version. She LOVES Harry Potter.
Two sessions of The One Ring -now weekly on Twitch.tv/actualplay We visited a wight inhabited barrow-tomb! And experience some horse theft!
I'm working on some Foundry VTT code for my online games.
Played an X-Men/X-Force-inspired game of Champions Now testing out pregens for my Lifted zine.
Juggling basic moves and the first draft of 3 playbooks for Debtpunk. And thinking about the futuristic setting that it exists in.
I've read Superman and the Authority #2 was less than #1, but it was a team assembling montage, so I get it. I still have lore questions!
The new Kill Team is out and I got in my Desert Moon of Karth Zine.
And this week I learned: Lupin the 3rd will be an RPG by Magnetic Press Play! Love it! And old Palladium Fantasy is pretty hot in the right hands!
