2026! Screaming into the void while RPGBOT.chat torments us - A fitting end to 2025!

Farewell 2025, Hello 2026

As the dice finish rolling on 2025, we want to take a moment—before the initiative tracker resets—to say thank you.

This year was packed with bold experiments, deep dives, hot takes, re-releases, masterclasses, actual plays, rule arguments that absolutely mattered, and more than a few moments where we stopped mid-recording and said, "Wait… does that actually work?" Thanks to you, the listeners, it did.

In 2025, RPGBOT.Podcast explored new systems, revisited old favorites, broke down mechanics piece by piece, and kept doing what we love most: helping players, GMs, and curious rules-gremlins play better games. Whether you joined us for crunchy optimization, narrative tools, indie RPG spotlights, or chaotic actual-play energy, you helped make this year something special.

We also saw the community grow—more voices, more perspectives, more people pulling up a chair at the virtual table. From longtime listeners who've been with us since the early days, to folks who found us for the first time this year: you're the reason we keep hitting "record."

Now, we turn the page.

2026 is already shaping up to be something big.
More deep dives.
More experiments.
More guests.
More games that surprise us.
More moments where the rules bend—and sometimes break—in interesting ways.

We're bringing forward everything we learned in 2025, sharpening our tools, and rolling into the new year with fresh ideas, bigger plans, and the same love for tabletop roleplaying games that started this whole thing.

So whether you're listening right now with friends, alone on a late-night walk, or prepping for your next session—thank you for making RPGBOT part of your year.

Here's to new campaigns.
Here's to better characters.
Here's to smarter GMs, braver players, and stories that stick with us long after the dice are packed away.

Happy New Year. Welcome to 2026.
Let's roll.
