#066 The Crushing Depths Episode 25 – Origins

Thanks for listening to the LTM Gaming Podcast! This week on The Crushing Depths, our real-play d20 Modern game, we continue in the second act of our prequel series. If you haven’t listened to episode 65, go back and listen to that before starting here. TJ is playing as Carmela, and Steve is playing as Enzo. Enzo and Carmela are the parents of Sal, TJ’s normal character. This series is set during a massive blizzard which took place in 2026. Enzo and Carmela have arrived in Black Rock, PA, and are trying to find shelter for the night. We hope you enjoy!

#065 The Crushing Depths Episode 24 – Bad Day at Black Rock

Thanks for listening to the LTM Gaming Podcast! This week on The Crushing Depths, our real-play d20 Modern game, Matt is absent! Oh nooooo! Whatever will we do? The answer is, of course, that we soldier on without him. This episode and the next two are all part of a session which served as a kind of prequel to the game. It was very similar to the session I ran with the players staying in Sal’s family house during a blizzard, which we recapped during the first episodes of this season of The Crushing Depths. In this episode we get to join Enzo and Carmela, Sal’s parents, and see what they were doing, elsewhere, during that same blizzard of ’26. We hope you enjoy!

#064 The Crushing Depths Episode 23 – Are You Pointing At Me?

Thanks for listening to the LTM Gaming Podcast! This week on The Crushing Depths, our real-play d20 Modern game, the exciting conclusion to the car chase! Our heroes, minus Russ, are in a hummer traveling back to the city with Xallitharid and his “experiments.” Russ trails them on his crotch-rocket, and is witness to the aftermath as they are rammed by a large black truck at high speed. What can Sal possibly do to make the situation worse? We hope you enjoy!

#063 The Crushing Depths Episode 22 – In His Head

Thanks for listening to the LTM Gaming Podcast! This week on The Crushing Depths, our real-play d20 Modern game, our heroes continue their debate about the next course of action after realizing they may have been deceived by their tenuous allies, the ilithid-kin. We hope you enjoy!

#062 The Crushing Depths Episode 21 – We’re Best Friends

Thanks for listening to the LTM Gaming Podcast! This week on The Crushing Depths, our real-play d20 Modern game, the heroes have triumphed over an animated tree, weird tentacle cat things, and have found Xallitharid. Who is weird. Also, surprise! Russ is now sushi. We’ll see how our heroes react. This is the first of three episodes from the same session where the players (and Paul, badly) tried to insert references to ’90s pop culture into the game. It frequently led us off track, but we had fun doing it, and that’s what gaming is all about, right? Are you not entertained? We hope you enjoy.
