Saving the Game

Episode 94 - Epic Monsters


Listen Later

Grant and Peter are back with a whole host of things to talk about! We start with a bit about the Pugmire campaign Grant just started playing in. Then we answer a surprisingly tricky question from Patreon backer Jim Nanban, who asks us for our "elevator pitch" for RPGs as a hobby. We remind everyone that Save Against Fear 2016 is coming up very quickly (and that you should go if at all possible!) And finally, we reach our main topic: Epic monsters. What do we mean by an "epic monster"? What role can and should they play in your campaign? Why do they sometimes fall flat? And what little tricks and additional details can you add in to really make them stand out to your players? And most importantly, what's the best story about an epic monster from your own gaming career?

Mentioned in this episode:

  • Save Against Fear 2016 (so nice we linked it twice!)
  • GURPS Horror
  • Magic: The Gathering's Eldrazi titans
  • Scripture: Job 3:8, Revelation 13:1
