Dungeons & Tangents

This week Robert and Erik talk about the 2017 Rose City Comic Con.

The content of this episode is not 100% Dungeons and Dragons oriented, but chances are, we'll touch on subjects you care about.

This episode we discuss the most unfortunate thing that can happen in a game of D&D.

Want to set the right mood with your D&D Players?

Do D&D characters need a backstory and why? Where do I get one? Can I get a new one if mine's broken?

Erik and Robert take a close look at what the basic parts of Encounters in D&D. We dissect them down to their key elements, then get into how Bruce Willis doesn't like water. Erik's big take away is: the players should always believe they can fail any encounter.

Erik and Robert take a macro look at a session of D&D. The food, the banter, the setup, the getting settled and eventually the game play. Since D&D sessions can take between 3 to 6 hours, we discuss how that plays out and what to be aware of. The logistics of getting a group of people to come together for a common gaming experience is not trivial. And often it requires a lot of snack foods.

This being our 13th episode, we decided to review something spooky. Robert and Erik talk about the new Netflix series "Castlevania". We talk through every monotonous detail of the plot, so... Spoilers!

To avoid spoiling anything for people who don't want things spoiled, I'm not putting anything more here. So there.
