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.

You may have heard a lot about a supposed D&D 5e "clone" type game, that fixes 5e's pacing issues and drastically speeds up gameplay, hence it's name: Nimble. It seems to be on the minds and lips of many in the D&D and TTRPG community, both new generation fans brought in by 5e and old school fans of prior editions alike. I had never tried this game, but it generated a lot of buzz over the last year that I knew I wanted to check it out. I'm glad I did because this game is far more than a simple "faster 5e", It does indeed originate from a 5e starting point, but the game itself takes far bigger and bolder steps than I was anticipating, and I have to say, I am impressed. Tune in to hear what parts of this game really surprised me and got me more intrigued.
