Til Dice Do Us Part
A tabletop RPG podcast by a nerdy couple from Glasgow, Scotland. We aim to introduce you to new games (both mainstream and indie), support storytellers with our Ask A GM feature, and amuse you with quizzes and Python-esque silliness. Ailsa is a mainly lawful, occasionally chaotic player, and lover of all things strange and unusual. George is the long-suffering forever GM with close to 20 years experience of running a vast array of games. Plus we have a menagerie of strange creatures living with us who occasionally pop in to say hello.

Til Dice Do Us Part
Episode 34: Family Gaming & Faux Fairy Tales
Our usual podcasting pair becomes a talking troika in this episode, as we are joined by education writer and RPG creator DC Bradshaw. With his help we aim to answer an Ask A GM in which the listener enquires about introducing roleplaying games to an audience of children and how you can tailor your rules and setting towards them. Since DC Bradshaw has written his very own D&D-for-kids version of 5E, "Little But Fierce", he's the perfect person to help us answer this question - even if he visits the podcast by a slightly unorthodox transport method
After that, it's a Til Dice staple in the form of a Quiz. But with three people in the room the format changes up - George and Ailsa must team up to answer questions posed to them by their guest, who has brought ten lines of RPG game text that have been bowdlerized into something more "family friendly". Can the Til Dice Team work out what the games in question are and roughly what the sentence should be? What games have fluffy bunnies, chocolate milk and Cyril Sneer been inserted into?
Along the way you can expect the usual mish-mash of in-jokes, references, side-rambles and flensing knives. Find out which member of the Til Dice team has to be a stand-in Carol Smillie, who deals with the Inch-High Incel when he interrupts three people simultaneously, what colours of box the 80s D&D starter sets came in, and what Twike's important question to ask a guest is. On top of all that, this episode's sponsored segment sees Acerarak the Demilich makes a return - and he wants to take five children into a world of pure imagination.
