    Who actually likes it when the Game Master has their own Player Character rolling around with the party? We're not talking about the NPC babysitter of the group, but a full fledged player character the GM controls. We hate it, and want anyone who does this to stop. We also want tell some of the most epic Natty20 stories we can remember after discussing our favorite game settings and whether we prefer the modules or home-brew more.

  • Nerfing Players, MultiClassing, and Bringing the RP

    Contact the Paladins of Podcast

    Rob and Potato were asked to talk about something pretty specific when it comes to nerfing players or boosting up your baddies and while we both agree to never nerf the party members how do you truly balance the combat scenarios? We also hit off on multi-classing, and did you know that most games have a multi-classing EXP penalty? Now you do. But you know how to get around that besides cheating and lying? BRINGING THE RP! Most TTRPG's are about chucking dice even though RP is right in the name, so how do we get our players to be more involved. We explore that and more on todays Episode of the Epic Table Audio Show.

  • Finding Inspiration

    Contact the Paladins of Podcast

    Rob and Potato hit the floor running talking about where they find some of their best inspiration. While Potato likes a lot of video games, Rob tends to use books as great jumping points. They are both valid sources of ideas and starting points for some great fan-fiction infused TTRPG's but ultimately when the dice start rolling you gotta pull from somewhere.

  • Building a Character

    Contact the Paladins of Podcast

    Today we lightly walk through building a first edition Pathfinder character for Rob's new campaign that he's started. We talk a lot about some of the ways ability scores are generated, and even touch on one that Rob hasn't heard of. Other quick things include running through how to keep things on track and use skill checks to lead the party around like a puppy versus throwing them on a train and railroading them to death. Of course, it's the usual as always here at Epic Table Games, and we'd like to see you in our Facebook group and online at Epictablegames.com

  • Character Building Questions and Who Knows?

    Contact the Paladins of Podcast

    Rob and Potato hit you fast and hard with some awesome character building questions, and while we make a solid attempt to answer all 100 we back out of the deal at like 5 or ten. Then at this point, we're so lost we aren't sure what we're talking about for the next while. Ultimately we had a good time, talked about some traps, and a few of robs favorite traps that are meant to annoy and not maim or kill.

  • Worldbuilding

    Contact the Paladins of Podcast

    Rob and Potato tackle one of the most daring and daunting topics in all of TableTop / Pen & Paper Role Playing Games: World Building. We don't talk in depth about many of our processes, but we do cover the topics we at least consider. Don't worry too much about format, because if you're really interested in working through the difference between campaign building and world building, this episode will only confuse you more. Check it out, because not only do we ramble a little bit like usual, we actually brush off some knowledge and throw it out like a curveball.

  • Adult Content, Popularity, books or pdf's?

    Contact the Paladins of Podcast

    When you attempt to add adult content into your games, what is the first thing people think about? PR0n or sex right? We know. Rob and Potato take a small candid look at what else can be seen as more adult themes without being gross or inappropriate, and pose the question to you all "What other content can be seen as adult that is not sexual in nature?" Aside from that we chat about the rise of popularity of pen and paper games, the benefit of books over pdf's and some of the outrageous costs of these books!

  • Min/Maxing, Covid and Virtual Table Tops

    Contact the Paladins of Podcast

    Today Rob and Potato talk about some of the in's and out's of Min/Maxing your characters and how it isn't always a power play move or appropriate as well as what happened to in person gaming when Covid-19 hit us like a brick. Not to mention, are Virtual Table Tops here for good? Are they better for in person play or should they be kept to remote playing? Will we ever bridge the gap between what we do in real life with the nerd deep within our soul? Find out on this episode of the Epic Table Audio Show.
