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. 🎲 🎲 🎲

It's a Bye Week!!!
The One Ring was a Bye Week. Our Fellowship is in Bree to track down Gorlanc the sorcerer dwarf?! The One Ring has final PDFs released and we're pouring through looking updating our characters!
My new Burning Wheel game Vena and the King of Nothing is two sessions in and on the Diceology podcast. Vena is pursued by elves, made an owlbear friend, and learned about Elven grief via human conflict. My lady friend, Elle had a fantastic rules breakthrough and we learned some hard truths about Vena her character!
Pirates of Drinax had a bye week. I'm looking at Firefly and Hammerheads for vehicle mechanics inspirations!
Prepping for some Delta Green 1v1play with Brendan from the What people do podcast.
I'm reading UVG and excited about running it soon.
I'm set to run Desert Moon of Karth via Mothership for the Gauntlet's Star Wars Sat/Sun: Special Edition mini-con. in Dec and the session is full.
I hung out with some gamers from the Gauntlet Sunday afternoon on Zoom. About 9 or 10 other folks scattered globally. We just chatted about recent games we're playing and running down the gaming tangents.
This week I learned about Whitehack experiences from Christopher Kubasik via the Indie Game Reading Club Slack and it's climbed up my must playlist!
