GeeklyInc: Random Encounters

Things go from bad to worse when, somehow, our plans don't go entirely according to our initial plans. But, we are smart and strong and a slight deviation is nothing to be worried about. We are runners, danger is a part of the job and frankly if we have to cut a person in half from time to time, well that is why we make the big bucks.

Shadowrun is cool, and you know what, we like it! We get right down to completing our mission by trying to track down our mark. Occasionally we bend the rules or gloss over a mechanic so that we can move through the episode at a more effecient and entertaining pace, but most people will not even notice. We hope you like much more active episode!

In this installment of our playthrough of Shadowrun I think we start to get a grasp of how to actually play and what makes each of our characters tick. It is still a little shaky here and there since there are so many dang rules, but Tondi does a fine job letting us feel our way through the whole experience.  The crux of this episode centers around which of the targets we want to go after. Now, we are not ones to rush into a dangerous situation blindly, no siree bob, so we had to have all the top info our hacking/ social skills could get us. It was a fun change of pace.

We hop right into Shadowrun this week on Random Encounters. Having spent hours creating our characters we were both excited and nervous about our first interactions in the Sixth World. Some of us chose to min/ max our characters, some decided to focus on a theme while others rolled a dice to figure out who they were going to be 10 minutes before the show. Get ready for another batch of lovable misfits in your podcast hearts!

Onward and forward is what the great elves of Detroit say. Onward and forward we, your humble hosts, continue our dive into learning the ins and outs of Shadowrun. In this episode we get into character building. This should be the last “How the heck do we play this game” episode and then we can start our cyberpunk adventure. This should be the greatest Random Encounters ever.

Here is the video of the dang episode!

I hope you are both sitting and in possession of 77 d6 because we have finally started Shadowrun! Y'all, Shadowrun is confusing so we had to bring in an expert. Please extend your loving appreciation to Tondi (@diceheroes) for agreeing to join us on this dystopian adventure! In this, the first episode, we take some time out to learn about the world of Shadowrun. We knew that several of you wonderful listeners would be just as ignorant of Shadowrun as we were so we decided to make the first 2 episodes focused on learning about the game. Less insane adventures but more insane knowledge! You can share these episodes with your children as you teach them how to Shadowrun.

We are extremely excited to get into the actual gameplay since it seems completely foreign to Dungeons and Dragons. Thank you so much for Kickstarting both our campaign last year and our hearts. We love you!

Praise be to Mielikki! A brand new Drunks and Dragons Random Encounters!!! Things are a little different for this Random Encounter in that we are encountering READING! We have always said that our DnD podcasts are funded by the government for the purpose of promoting education and how it can be “both fun and enjoyable for today's children and tomorrow's soldiers” and we are excited to add reading comprehension to the mix. Please join us on our journey through “The Companions” the first book in The Sundering series of novels.

In this our first episode we do a few special things. 1) we discuss our general knowledge of reading in the D&D world. 2) we give a brief no spoiler review of “The Companions”. 3) Tim tells attempts to fill in the backstory of Drizzt and his pals. 4) Go through what actually happens in “The Companions.” Our goal was to let folks who do not want to be spoiled get a general sense of the world so that they can make a choice on their own whether they want to read or not. Future episodes will be much more straight forward.

We are having a contest to win your very own copy of “The Companions” in beautiful hardcover glory. Head on over here to get the rules on how to win.

Here is our live episode discussing “The Companions.”
