1d4cast Podcast - Gaming Topic Discussions, Actual Play One Shots for Review, and System Reviews

*WARNING* This podcast is explicit!

Hello Everyone!

Let me first apologize for the tardiness of this episode. It was recorded for February and was supposed to be out last week. With 1d4Con’s Pre-registration opening last Saturday and all the stuff that needed to be done, I just couldn’t make the time until now.

Now, I present to you our episode about Indie Games. More specifically, the rise and relevance of such games. This is the first episode since September that we’ve have the full cast on. I was able to make it back, despite having my Wisdom teeth pulled recently. There is some discussion about 1d4Con and other conventions and we read two emails. Once we make it to the topic, we start out with a little history lesson, get into how the movement took off and what was affected by it, and then we talk about our changing personal preferences in accordance with the gaming hobby.

Hope you enjoy!

If you have any comments, feedback, or even a topic you want us to discuss; either leave a comment on this episode’s post, send us an email, or use our Contact Page! We’d love to hear from you and will read your email on the next episode!

Hello Everyone! Happy New Year, despite the fact that January is now at it’s end! I had full intention of being on this episode, but I got hit by a nasty stomach virus the day we were to record. Rather than delay, I asked the others to continue without me.

The topic of this episode is Games That Won’t Break Your Wallet. Monica suggested we talk about this after she did a similar panel at a Convention. If we would have had a MAGFest Panel, this would have been the topic. Anyway, the focus is mainly on Free or Low Cost games that don’t require a ton of monetary buy-in. Most of our links are to to PDFs, but we do throw in occasional links to print copies for some games.

The list below is pretty comprehensive, but is in no way complete. So, if you have games you want to tell us about that we missed in this list, a correction about something in the episode, or even a question, let us know. Write us a comment to this post, send us an email, or use our contact form. We’d love to hear from you and will read your replies in the next episode if we can.

Thank you for listening, and enjoy the show!

Hello everyone!

My baby boy, Elijah, is doing great! I hope to get back to this podcasting thing in January :).

Anyway, the 1d4cast crew, along with special guest Henry, got together again to bring you a new episode. We have more feedback email to read from Bob H. of Australia about our Halloween episode and Actual Plays. If you have anything that you want to tell us, let your voice be heard. We’ll read it on the next episode.

The topic for discussion boils down to What Games You Can’t Live Without which is a take on the “desert island” scenario. They talk about what game would you choose to keep if you had to lose everything else, which game to be able to replay differently, to be able to play a whole lot more of, be able to experience again with a blank slate, and many other burning questions.

Hello everyone!

My baby boy, Elijah, was born on 10/10/2013. Due to this, I am forced to take a small break away from podcasting to be with my little one.

However; the 1d4cast crew, along with special guest Henry, got together to bring you our Halloween episode. The topic for discussion is monsters and let me tell you that there is some solid content in this episode. They talk about what scares them and their comfort levels, favorite monsters to use against the players, favorite monsters or situations to encounter, and favorite monster races to play as when the option is available. We also have more feedback mail to read from Zac about our “A Closer Look At Skills” episode.

Here is a new ACLS episode where we tackle how different systems use skills. This is not a comprehensive list of systems, but it is a very diverse one, covering both traditional games and indie games. It’s always interesting to see not only how the use of skills evolve through editions but between games as well.

Also, we have some news to share and we apologize if there is any interruption to the feed.

Hello everyone,

It’s the end of August, and this month we bring you a regular episode with all four of our regular cast members (I know, miracles do happen)! The topic for this episode is Organized Play, also known as living campaigns. We talk our their pros and cons along with our personal experiences. In addition, we also give you list (although not exhaustive in the least) of various groups out there to join. If you know of any that we didn’t cover please let us know about them!

In other news, it’s also our three year birthday for the podcast. We started this on August 5th back in 2010. It’s been a wild and crazy fun time! Things are going to get a little crazy around here with Elijah’s arrival coming soon. We will continue to but out content even though it may be limited and have large gaps of time in between releases.

Hello everyone! April pretty much got away from us, especially with it leading right into 1d4Con. In light of this, we decided to talk a little bit about the convention so that we could possible inspire you and your friends to do the same. This was recorded right before the convention, but due to a serious lack of time it’s just now being released.

Okay so this is a late release, it should have been out in March. Been busy with family and 1d4Con stuff. Finally had a chance to get this out for you to hear.

This time we have another interview with the awesome David Hill of Machine Age Productions, but this time we talk about their new kickstarter, Apotheosis Drive X. ADX is new mecha game that uses the Fate Core engin. As with all of Machine Age games there is a morality check built in, as technology advances it raises the morality question of how Humans use it.

David was also kind enough to give us special links to get his products at a discount, look below. Check it out.

Feedback is always appreciated as well :).
