@Cap Having a buffer is not a bad thing, but a buffer that amounts to recording 2 months in advanced is definitely pretty big for a show like this one where there is a lot of potential for audience interaction/feedback in between episodes. Maybe just try to reduce it to being 2 or 3 episodes ahead?
Also I forgot to mention this before, but I…[Read more]

Episode 3 is out and I once again find myself repeating the same criticism that has been stated before; you seem to be focusing a lot on building a setting (which is fine) at the detriment of building mechanics (which is less good).
In the case of developing player races, I think you really framed your question wrong in the first place. The…[Read more]

New episode is out and I have a lot of stuff to comment on! Let’s go through them all in order:
Elves and Dwarves and other Humanoids:
My preferred take on these guys is to treat them as divergent evolutions to Humans. Historically speaking, real life humans have extremely little genetic diversity because we as a species almost went extinct…[Read more]

@Dr.Failure
This sort of thing is actually why I asked. Wanting the tactical aspect a grid can provide is a valid enough reason to have it. However, if your goal was only to keep track of the characters, there are ways other than a grid with which that can be done. You could play Warhammer style where you measure out distances, or you could…[Read more]

This is how the podcast starts off so it seems like a pretty natural place to start talking as well. My RPG experience is pretty broad but not necessarily very deep outside of a few games. I started playing Pen and Paper games at a very young age with AD&D, when my dad and his friends would play and my brother and I would sit in on their games. My…[Read more]

There is no forum for this so I’ve made the topic here. Discuss:
(I’ll have my own things to say once I’ve finished actually listening to the first episode, but I’m pretty confident I’ll have some things to say.)

@Delphi I don’t know if it’s in any more podcasts, but it is definitely in the rotation on Nerdy.fm.

It’s this weekend. And though I’m on the other side of the continent in a different country, it has 3 different twitch streams allowing me to listen to all sorts of great nerdy music from the comfort of my own home.
I’m also a little surprised there’s not been much talk about it here, so here’s a topic for it.

I’ve had many of the same thoughts. Hacing a hand of cards would allow a player to decide when they really need to roll well, while stilling forcing them to roll badly as they build up bad cards. There is also great potential for player abilities which manipulate the deck. It could be anything from drawing extra cards to interacting with…[Read more]

This is an idea I’ve been playing around with in my head for a while now. There are all sorts of things you can do with a deck of playing cards that you can’t do with dice. It ensures a balanced distrobution of “rolls” and if you do it right you can even give your players some control over when they roll well or poor.
So my question is, does…[Read more]

I’d be willing to play, but don’t expect to have the time to run a full time game.
Having said that, I DO plan to run a one shot in a couple of months using my own RP System, if there’s enough interest for it when I’m ready to do it.
