This week’s guest is Tony Vasinda of PlusOneExp where they make bespoke, alchemical beard & lip balms inspired by classic tabletop tropes, and YouTube and podcast content from interviews with creators to actual play one-shots and campaigns.
We talk about his upcoming space crawler Through The Void utilizing their Together We Go system, and I, Toaster, an old school inspired RPG where you take on the role of small appliances in a big world.

Dungeon’s Got Talent: This crowded arena has three tiers and a large circular field with a lone microphone in the center. Posters of other champion finalists line the walls. The judges booth juts out from the center of the 2nd level.
Trap: A large cage drops over anyone around the microphone, and minotaurs drench you with bad blood to enrage Nightmare Folklore who emerges from the floor. Fight or out perform the jazz bull to score points with the judges. A minotaur jazz band accompanies the fight from an orchestra pit.
Nightmare Folklore: This giant, intelligent jazz bull has horns like saxophones. “Fighting is like jazz. You have to break tradition.” Timing is important against his sonic attack (damage & save or be deafened), but jazz has variable timing with his hoof stomping (haste or slow effect).
Judges: Matador Dave (the spiritual wizard), Thragg (long retired dungeon delver with sorrowful eyes), and Labyrinth Larry (makes mazes for the local newspaper) each have a red buzzer they hit when they don’t like something. Survive and impress the judges, and they’ll invite you back for the finals. Winner gets a ring of three wishes.
