Tonight, we're joined in the tavern by special guest Thomas Koch from the terrific tabletop livestream channel Quests & Chaos so we can pick his brain about the basics of livestreaming a tabletop RPG (as so many of us would love to do). We also find out how an ordinary horse rose from its humble roots to be the open Lord of Waterdeep. So come pull up a chair, the fire's warm and the drinks are cold!

On this weeks episode, we talk about Andrew's observation that there are many in the community who think badly of the humble, tried-n-true trope of the RPG party meeting in a tavern, and disabuse anyone who may have been misled until now of the notion that the party starting in a Tavern is lame or played-out.

Spoiler Alert: IT AINT!

Also mentioned in this episode: Remarkable Inns / Remarkable Shops by Loresmyth Games.

Well met! Tonight, Adam brings with the righteous topic of the Paladin to the table, so we talk about our feelings on the paladin offerings overall in 5e and how they measure up to what "Paladin" means to us. Perhaps that's a bit lofty, but tell us, what does "Paladin" mean to you?

On this episode, we chat about handling session-related stuff that goes on between sessions, such as email chains, discord chats, and other ways to allow one, some, or all of your players to pursue individual goals! It's a lot of fun, and can help make your players feel a bit more agency and attention without taking away from everyone else mid-session on your actual game night. This also builds a bit on the idea we spoke with DragnaCarta about back on Episode 32 of Season 2 regarding collaborative prep! Enjoy!

Welcome back to another season of Inspiration Point for the year of 2022! Join us as we sit down to talk about all the cool stuff we want to do this year, and kick it off right by listening to Adam try in vain to wrangle Andrew.

On tonight's episode, we thought we'd have some fun and do some two-person scenes with some different voices! If you ever wanted to hear a two-headed ogre brainstorm with itself about the best methods of robbing travelers on the road, you're in for a treat. Come sit on down, get out of the cold, grab your favorite holiday beverage, and enjoy an evening of silliness with your good pals, Andrew and Adam. :) Happy Holidays!

On this jingle-belly episode, our two dapper gentlemen sit in large, high-backed chairs, in front of a crackling fireplace, equipped with smoking jacket, snifter, and pipe to discuss the events of the day, the classic films of the Christmas season, and one of the finest gifts we can all give to one another this year: the gift—of novelty! 

On this mammoth, nigh-two-hour episode, we take a good, hard look at the Netflix mega-hit Arcane! Pull up a chair, turn up the volume, and let's start the magic.

This episode, Adam busts out his brand new copy of Fizban's Treasury of Dragons and we build ourselves a dragon! As always, there are twists, turns, and shocking surprises, so hold onto your butts, 'cause it's DRAGON TIME!

On tonight's episode, Andrew wants to talk about roleplaying your rolls instead of just referring to your character's obvious strengths, or only referring to what's explicitly written on your character sheet. We also talk about Adam's unflinching resolve when it comes to honoring commitments, and then we do some roleplay exercises. So sit on down, and join us for some good ol' RP fun!
