  • Jeff's Door - What Campaign is This?

    After a long break, we are back with a new game series!  Don't worry, The Teacher's Campaign and Heroes of New Cydonia will continue, as will short one-shots as they happen.


    In this episode, Jeffrey introduces his idea for a campaign based off a video game from the 90s and a version of Dungeons and Dragons from the 80s, updated to the modern day with 5th edition, and rule and story updates to hopefully make it work in a tabletop setting.
    We leave the happy-go-lucky lands of the Teacher's Campaign, and Vince's creation inspired by Discworld, and adventure into the Forgotten Realms, a world with more in common with video games of the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, and inspired by the Lord of the Rings.  Our players choose who will be the main character, and who will be support, and one character is introduced, Arry.  No, that is not the voice that will be used for him for the game, but yes, he will talk like that... probably for the whole campaign.  He will be a good pally-din.

    As far as explanations for the long absence, yes, part of it was planned around a gap in recordings.  The recordings for The Teacher's Campaign will resume, but for several weeks, there will be a drop in quality due to equipment failures during two of the games.  We are exploring ways to make it work better in the future.
    But the planned gap was only a couple of weeks, so why has it been a month?  Life.  Our editor getting sick, then exam season, then tax season... life. C'est la vie.  We will try and plan around such foreseeable difficulties in the future.  Please bear with us, and thank you for your patience.

  • Analysis, The First: Dungeons and Dragons vs ICONS

    This episode is particularly for teachers and students, an episode looking at what was most interesting or fun, what was easier to pick up and learn, and recommendations for students who want to try the games, and teachers who want to run them.


    Also, there will be some discussion about what to do in future episodes, and some news at the end of this episode.

  • HNC 1: The Magical Toilet of Not Kubrick

    In this episode, the game starts off! Four of the group meet in a bank, then meet a god (Not Kubrick) in the toilet, and get superpowers. But what will they do with those superpowers? That's gonna be interesting. By the way, I apologize for Not Kubrick and Shew (Omar's brother) sounding so similar. That was confusing for some of our other players too. I will probably try a different voice in the future if Shew returns, but for this week and next week, just remember, no more Not Kubrick outside of the toilet (and great advice for DMs, have extra voices ready for random characters all the time. Just in case. You never know when a new character will show up. I know you are basically god in these games, but you still don't always know.)

  • Lost Episode *TEMPORARY*
    This episode will be deleted when the new episode is uploaded, but we at ESL RPG felt an explanation was due to our listeners, no matter how many or few they are. We value our audience, and feel open communication is important, especially for any reasons that we aren't able to upload weekly.
    This is not an episode. This is a notice to listeners that the next episode will be delayed due to a recording being lost. A new recording will be made as soon as possible, but not on time for the normal Friday upload.
    We apologize for this delay, as well as the content that was lost, as it was quite entertaining. Fortunately, some of it did make it into bloopers, so when the next blooper episode drops, you will see a glimpse of the lost episode.
    Also, fortunately, our next recording session will be this Sunday, so the next episode can be up as early as Sunday or Monday night, Japan time.
    Thank you for your patience, and thank you for listening.
