Saving Throes # 139 - New Years 2026 Special! A Look Back at 2025, Including My Predictions & Resolutions

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.

Happy New Year! As this episode goes live on New Year's Day, I find myself feeling like time is flying! I can't believe another year has already gone by. It feels like I just did this episode recently for 2024/2025. When I was reviewing all that happened this year though, I realized a lot more happened than I realized. The TTRPG space was pretty active, both with various controversies, and interesting news stories. We have seen how the new version of D&D 5e has settled and the continuation of the growth of the OSR and indie RPG scene. Some long delayed crowdfunded projects finally saw the light of day and of course several new crowdfunding campaigns of note were launched this past year. Tune in to hear if my predictions were accurate or how successful I was with my resolutions from the past year.
