In which I sit down with: Skid Maher of The Glass Cannon Podcast
Which also stars: Troy Lavallee, Joe O'Brien, Matthew Capodicasa,
Grant Berger.
Don't forget to back Ogre Cheerleader which is on Kickstarter for 3 more
days!
Skid talks about how Nerd Poker turned him onto creating their own podcast.
His favorite RPG would have to be Traveller RPG. He loves the palladium
system. Loved the Critical tables in MERP. 1st thing they did to get famous
is they figured out how iTunes worked, they had everyone who they knew:
If you ever loved me subscribe and download 1st 2 episodes even if you
don’t listen, got them on Hot and New. Had an article about them by Geek
and Sundry. GCP's Purpose: Introducing people to Role Playing. Raising
awareness of how AWESOME RPGing is, it also creates friendships through
the show. Sounds like an old-time radio show. The story time possibilities.
He’s inspired us to get on with our adventures in the dice RPG game: Too
Many Bones by Chip Theory Games Skid states it is a lot easier if you sit
down with someone whom plays, or listen to them, Critical Role, Sneak
attach to help you get up to speed, but best way is to play with
someone(s) who already know the game. RPG Academy: If you’re not
having fun you’re doing it wrong.
Advice: Start as simple as you can: Dungeon World (Not a Rule Heavy)
GCP also has a Sub-Reddit (whatever that is) with a link to their Dischord
has people waiting to play online which is a good option.
It's probably best to start listening to The Glass Cannon podcast at the
begining: otherwise it'd be like watching Breaking Bad the 1st episode
season 5.
FOR AAA Skid talks about: syrinscape by Ben Lumas for their sound
effects for the show Soundsets for all kinds of settings 4 basic sound sets
are free or can purchase, or subscribe for $12.99 for 2 months. You can
sign up once and download every one and unsubscribe and their yours
forever. To make it better.
Nick Lowe from Marvel comics created the skid jingle that skid sings:
Nerdage which is his favorite song ever. Pretty soon there will be a Glass
Cannon subset on Sirenscape.
During Kickstarter Corner I touch upon: Ancient Artifacts which is a lot like
indiana Jones.
Arcade Fighter which reminds me of Street fighter or Mortal combat
