The Paladins of Podcast are back! Check out how Rob has decided to go all in with his newest campaign and some of the tweaks Craig has been playing with while Eli brings up SHOOK: The Social Interaction Roleplaying Game because of it's great focus on storytelling with interpersonal triggers and problem solving. While Rob thinks a folder idea similar to a character dossier for his players is good, Eli gives him the good ol' one up with an entire 100 page folder one of his DM's gave him full of world information from the characters background perspective.

How do you get your table to sit down, shut up, and pay attention to the game? How do you get them to participate? How do you get them to show up on time? Well, you simply make them sign a binding contract that states if they don't do these things there will be full fiery retribution filled with hate and brimstone. Okay, not really. But we do talk about what has become known as "The Social Contract," which helps state expectations of the players, the Dungeon Master, and sets the baseline for table behavior and etiquette. This was the first time Paladin of Podcast Rob has really taken the time to talk about one to his party very specifically, and it's now even available as a freebie at EpicTableGames.com. Paladins Craig and Eli both are interested to hear more about Rob's presentation being his first time, and we talk about the whole idea of using one and how much translates between in person games and online games.

Grab the freebie at the EpicTableGames.com shop. Check out the rest of our blog at EpicTableGames.com or like us on Facebook.com/EpicTableGames

Keep an eye out for our discord channel soon, we're trying to make sure that is something valuable to offer as we continue to develop content!

Our Paladin of Podcast Craig had some amazing news to deliver today, and it sent us down only the beginning of the rabbit hole of designing content that is going to be published. We cover a lot of the initial idea formation and the work that is needed to put out content that you're writing for a client and some of the expectations you can set as a creator. This is a passion for everyone, and while we'd all do it for free Craig makes a great point of setting expectations for payment and Rob talks about how he broke his own rule with spec work. Eli really fills our trio with his experience writing for Hackmaster, and talks about his system of organization to keep both himself and the readers of work on track without loosing their minds. Welcome to SideQuests!

Check out Craigs monster, "The Spider at the Heart of Eight Bears" at http://www.epictablegames.com and we'd love to hear your responses to what's been going on in our show. You can send a message directly to us through our website, Facebook, or Spotify!

The paladins of podcast, Craig, Eli, and Rob do what they can to talk about monsters and how for the most part you can just use bears! But we keep veering off track as the conversation follows the natural progression of any well planned out improv dungeon. We fall into the trap of distraction and interesting items to pick apart. Roll Initiative everyone, because this episode just got upended.

Craig has been a huge fan of TTRPG designer/writer Skerples for quite some time, and has loved the idea of The Monster Overhaul, a practical bestiary since it was announced. Craig had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Dai Shugars; editor and creative director for all of Skerples printed material. Listen in as Craig and Dai jump into the process of working through creation, publication, and crowd funding the project in less than 2 hours. Over the next hour, you will be transported into one of the most incredible episodes of SideQuests! to date. Check out our newly designed website where you can send emails, purchase nerdy goods, and get some great advice through our blog at epictablegames.com and you can always find us on Facebook.com/epictablegames.

What more could you ask for from a podcast? Sidequests features Rob and brand new hosts, YES! THAT'S RIGHT! HOSTS! As in Craig and Eli. While Craig can't keep himself from thinking about objects of negative mass and the fun physics that could be had some of his games it melts Rob's brain enough to equate his explanation down to magnets. Eli gives us some great background about himself and we tool around with as much as we can muster.

Josh stepped away from our audio show, and we started putting things in place in order to keep us moving ahead at full steam. Craig is with us today and he would really like to stick around, and while he's getting used to be in the other chair I'm pounding away at updating our website so it's easier to navigate, use, and interact with. Not to mention boost our site score. You can find always find us online at EpicTableGames.com and on Facebook!

Rob was finally able to get something in the schedule to talk with Jay Dragon and Ruby Lavin after a busy August for everyone, and some tumultuous thunderstorms in early September. We were able to really dive into both the designing aspect as well as the creation aspect of Wanderhome and connect with each of these fantastic individuals about how they chose their processes and got started in the world of Table Top Role Playing Games and developing them!

I was listening to this weeks episode when I realized that Rob over develops most of his NPC's because either his players expect him to because they've always asked in depth questions or they expect him to because he always has. But the fact is, these NPC's are way developed, especially the reoccurring ones. Anyone else do this?

Rob and Josh tackle that record keeping. The book keeping. The score counting. The journaling. The dreaded note system. We talk about a few good points, for if you're a Dungeon Master and if you're a player. Did you know that when you shorthand and don't know what you're reading a week or two later, those notes are pretty useless? I'd still award some experience points for keeping them anyway.
