Saving Throes # 95 - Ritual of Scrying: Looking for House Rules, Vol 1

Red Rooster

Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.


Oh this week's episode, I wanted to look into what house rules people are using these days. House rules are a long and glorious tradition for tabletop roleplaying games. Ever since the hobby began with the original D&D release in 1974, house rules have been baked in and expected at almost every table. It had been a while since I last looked up what house rules people were pushing, and in this day and age, as we are all connected via the internet, I fully expected a deluge of house rules and likely bickering about it. I was not disappointed! In fact I found such a large amount of house rule chatter that I decided to make this volume 1 of potentially many more Ritual of Scrying episodes. Tune in to hear what house rules unexpectedly caught my attention, and what ones appear to have started long ago that are now generally a part of most tables.
