Crossing the Streams – Using board games to inspire RPGs

This episode we’ve got a question from one of our awesome Patreon patrons about using board games to make maps for RPGs. We discuss that as well as other ways you can integrate board games into your RPGs. Then we review Tales from the Loop The Boardgame which is a board game version of an RPG with quite a bit of crossover. As usual, we wrap up by talking about the games we’ve been playing lately.

Episode 168 of the Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast, recorded April 6th, 2022.

    1. Hey Todd,

      Those are some classics there. The miniature from Barbarian Prince was one of the first I ever painted.

      Thanks for the comment,
