Roleplay Geeks Podcast

The Geeks dive headlong into Blades in the Dark, a roleplaying game unlike anything they have ever tried.  It should be a wild, wild ride!

Frank has the unenviable task of taking us through a completely new, completely unfamiliar gaming system. May (the) G/god(s) have mercy on his soul...

Blades in the Dark is a storytelling-driven gaming system that will have the Geeks questioning more than whether or not goats and ghosts can co-exist in a world where Frank won't let us play vampires, we can't be monster whalers, and we can't wrap our heads around the pronunciation of 'hull'.

Join us for a shallow dive into the kiddie pool as we learn the basics of Blades in the Dark.

Ever wonder what's around the next corner?  We have.  In this episode the Geeks talk about exploration in our games as both players and game masters.  Stick around for some more music from the Midnight Sun Chronicles,  some information on the dungeons and dragons movie, and other interesting things in the world of table top gaming.

The Geeks look into the utility of maps and the different ways they are used to tell stories in our roleplaying games.

After several runs of Runequest, the Geeks feel like they can drop an initial review of the game.  Spoiler, it's a mixed bag :)

It's time to discuss non combat encounters, what they are, types of non combat encounters and how they enhance your gameplay.

It's time for a new game and that game is Runequest!  This week the Geeks make their characters and discuss the character creation process.

The Geeks explore the differences between your home and your "home base of operations" including castles, towns, space ships and planets.  We then look at how using a home or base of operations can help bring your world alive with familiar places and NPCs.  Jim is He-Man, Steven is Skeletor, Castle Greyskull is our home and we are the Masters of the Universe!

The guys are back from playing several sessions of OVA and we share our thoughts on this open-ended gaming system loaded with charm and possibilities.

John, Frank, and Jim chat about character sheets, roleplaying around the campfire, The Beastmaster, Dragon Slayer, and King Conan.  It's a hodgepodge episode without the Steves.  It's where chaos thrives.
