This Week on Twitch – May 1 – 7|Goodman Games

Posted By billward on May 1, 2023 |

Our week of Twitch programs culminates in War of the Cyclops Con programs all weekend long!

There is a lot to see on Twitch this week on the eve of War of the Cyclops Con — as well as a full lineup of shows coming up all weekend long. Firstly, Brendan LaSalle will be everywhere this week, talking Xcrawl on Maw of Mike, the Road Crew with R.A.W., and the ins-and-outs of playtesting on The Scrivenery. Goodman Games’ Art Director Matt Hildebrand will also be chatting with Michael Curtis tonight on the Maw. And, of course, some of your favorite livestreams continue this week with Pretenders to the Throne, Reaver Express, Twenty Sides’s ongoing Dark Tower stream, and an After Party show with Honor Among Thieves!

But the biggest news has to be War of the Cylops Con! Next weekend as part of the convention there will be an entire slate of shows on the Goodman Games Official Twitch Channel, and some great interactive events through Gather.Town. You can find the links to the schedule below, but they will also be posted on the website during the convention, as will the Gather.Town link.

And don’t forget you can catch up on all our shows over on the Goodman Games YouTube channel as well!

Now let’s check out the details!

Schedule for the week of May 1

9:00 p.m. EST, Monday, May 1

Maw of Mike

Hosts: Michael Curtis

Spring is here and that means two things: Vibrant colors and professional sports. And this month’s Maw of Mike has them both! Join Mike when he welcomes Goodman Games’ Art Director Matt Hildebrand to discuss the art of, well, Art and its role in DCC RPG products both old and new. Matt will be showing off some fantastic pieces or artwork—a few of which might hint at as-yet unannounced projects currently underway

Then Mr. Xcrawl, himself, Brendan LaSalle comes crashing out of the green room to give us all the first in-depth look at Xcrawl Classics, the forthcoming RPG powered by DCC and heading to a Kickstarter near you! Brendan explains why Xcrawl is going to blow your mind and how it’ll change the way you look at dungeon crawling forever.

All this and more tonight, Monday, May 1st at 9:00 PM EST, only on the Goodman Games Official Twitch channel.

6:00 p.m. EST, Tuesday, May 2

R.A.W. (Rules as Written)

Hosts: Matt Robertson and Stefan Surratt

Our guest this week is a doozy! The King of Road Crew himself, Brendan LaSalle! If you ever had a question about anything that has to do with the Road Crew you won’t want to miss this show. We will have Brendan on the hot seat answering anything and everything about the Road Crew and hitting him up with a couple DCC stumpers. Don’t miss it!

Join us over on the Goodman Games Official Twitch channel on May 2nd at 6:00 pm EST

9:00 p.m. EST, Wednesday, May 3

Pretenders to the Throne

Hosts: Clay Liford and friends

The Imperial Survey Bureau crew, still stranded on this strange medieval planet, probes deeper into the forbidden “Holy Mountain” – home of the native’s “gods” …in reality, more likely a previous vessel from their own interstellar society. Can they make it to the “Godthrone” (likely the ship’s bridge) to access the distress beacon and central computer? Is the secret behind the “prophecy” that foretold their coming hidden in its memory banks?

Tune in on Wednesday May 3rd at 9:00 pm EST only on the Goodman Games Official Twitch Channel.

8:30 p.m. EST, Thursday, May 4

Dark Tower Live Play

Hosts: Twenty Sides to Every Story

Through the ages and across planes the war between the gods Mitra and Set found itself stalemated time and again. In a cunning gambit spanning decades, Set has arrayed his Chosen Sons in the Lostlands to erode the birthplace and poison the hearts of Mitra’s faithful. Bending the fates with what power he can spare, Mitra leads five adventurers towards Set’s Dark Tower testing if they have the might and mettle to serve as his champions leading the Lions of Mitra to a conclusive battle against the Sons of Set.

Twenty Sides to Every Story presents an actual play of Original Adventures Reincarnated #7: Dark Tower and The Chosen Sons of Set by Goodman Games.

The Dark Tower Live Play show will be airing on the Twenty Sides to Every Story Twitch Channel, this Thursday, May 4th, at 8:30 p.m.

8:00 p.m. EST, Friday, May 5

The Scrivenery

Hosts: Ed Stanek and Trevor Stamper

An important step in making most any successful game publication is play-testing. On this week’s show, Ed & Trevor will be talking with special guest host Brendan LaSalle, as the three discuss how to get the most out of your play-testing efforts.

Join The Scrivenery this Friday, May 5th at 8:00 pm EST, only on the Goodman Games Official Twitch Channel.

9:00 p.m. EST, Friday, May 5

GrapeApe’s Reaver Express

Hosts: Judge GrapeApe and friends

With devastating news shaking the Reaver Express, how will the players of the Order of the Chicken bounce back? Will they return to once and for all put an end to the shenanigans that are plaguing their town? Or will they continue to the North to discover their missing villager Rita and discover the reason the King has a death list? We will also be giving away a $10 gift card to the Goodman Games store and some 2023 Gary Con goodies in the episode I am calling Decisions Must be Made!

This Friday at 9:00 p.m. EST on The Goodman Games Official Twitch Channel!
