@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]

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]

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

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]
