12The third season of Ludonarrative Dissidents began its crowdfunding on 4 March 2024 and closed on 7 April, having raised $11,066, or 368% of its target. That means this season will have 27 episodes, plus a year of livestream episodes, a zine and more.
Each episode of season 3 will have a full set of show notes, which means each episode now gets a page of its own. One day we will revise seasons 1 and 2 to do the same, but we’re going to have to start earning a bunch more from affiliate fees to make it worth doing. Anyway.

Heart: The city beneath
Heart: The City Beneath is a game of unconventional fantasy adventurers who are drawn to enter, explore and lose themselves in a very corporeal underworld beneath the city of Spire. They’ll face horrific foes, bizarre locations and a mysterious and eldritch subway system. It’s from the same designers and publisher as Spire, it’s an indie darling, but what will the Ludonarrative Dissidents make of it? Will they locate the life-ending revelation they seek in its fleshy realms? Will Heart find a place in their heart, or just turn them into a big ol’ train?
Right now this episode is only available to our Kickstarter backers. It will be available to the public in the near future, so please check back in a week or two. Meanwhile the show notes are available here.

DELTA GREEN: CONVERGENCE
Delta Green: Convergence was the very first adventure for Delta Green, written by John Tynes and published by Pagan Publishing in 1992. The LND team are reviewing an updated but substantially similar version released by Arc Dream in 2023. How has this foundation-stone of modern Lovecraftian horror stood the test of time? Is it still the best portal for new players to enter the desperate world of Delta Green operatives? What will noted not-a-horror-gamer James make of it all? Dare you find out?
Right now this episode is only available to our Kickstarter backers. It will be available to the public in a few weeks, so please check back then.
