Professor Jimbles DiceBag

​

Roleplaying Games can last for years and years. Unlike video games, that can be designed to be completed in a shorter amount of time, many Roleplaying games are built to last forever.

Today, we are asking the question: How long is too long? What do you do if you lose interest, enthusiasm and determination?

Join Stephen, Ian, Adam and Jimbles as we discuss this difficult question.

We talk about:

Tower of God: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_God

Vampire the Requiem/Masqurade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Darkness, Scion:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scion_(role-playing_game).

Warhammer 40k: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000.

We also LOVE Guild Wars 2, and talk about that for maybe too long.

Lastly, we recommend Roll for Intelligence. Again.

Sorry, everyone! Professor Jimbles is on holiday today. The Wrath crew tried to get together and record an episode, but due to scheduling errors, it would have ended up as a 40-minute episode last fortnight, and a 30-minute episode today! Seriously!

That's not enough Wrath for you, so instead, you get an apology. It'd be disingenuous to chop up an episode like that. Sorry! Looking forward to it next fortnight.

Trigger Warning: Tough episode - Betrayal, societal oppression, homophobia, transphobia.

In this episode, Emma, Michael, Luke and Jimbles talk over using negative emotions in roleplaying games. Why? And how can you do it effectively?

A little late, but still present, here comes a WRATH episode with a once-in-a-lifetime image at the end of the game.

Tonight, we have a Wrath of the Righteous! Where our heroes discover that Deskari has grown tired of games, and launches a massive invasion of Dresen! But our heroes have opinions on THAT plan, how do they respond?

Check out Character Sheets, see how Raj has been built! :https://www.dropbox.com/s/54jzt3j2bhb8xpq/Wrath%20of%20the%20Righteous%20Characters%2C%20Session%2038.pdf?dl=0

Enjoy!

Today, Professor Jimbles sits in front of his microphone and prepares to discuss a subject that lingers at the edges of nearly all games, but has somehow lost its edge as a threat in many of the games I play.

Death! In Roleplaying!

In a truly off-topic episode, Professor Jimbles, Sunshine, Ben and Adam give their opinions on videogames. What are they playing? What do they like, and what game didn't reach their expectations?

Sunshine, Paul, Ben and Jimbles go through how they found Herald of the Ivory Labyrinth? Was the scene at the beginning the WORST, making the whole thing terrible? But honestly, how good WAS the book? And are they excited for the climactic finale?

Jimbles is.

In this discussion episode, Adam, Ben, Kane and Stephen join Jimbles to talk over Boardgames, and how they differ from roleplaying games. Jimbles is known for not particularly liking boardgames, but as the podcast well represents, is a big fan of roleplaying! Will these boardgame lovers convince him, or will they just argue for an hour?

We talk about these Boardgames:

Finally, we mention Cards Against Humanity (https://cardsagainsthumanity.com/), and argue over whether it's a boardgame.

In this Wrath of the Righteous, our heroes find themselves at the END of the Herald of the Ivory Labyrinth. WOW that was quick. Find out within - Who lives? Who dies? Can they take down a GOD?
