The Adventuring Party

This week the party sit down to talk about board game expansions. When is it time to burst that base box with a boatload of bonus bits? When is the bucket of baubles just burgeoning bloat? What makes a good expansion and what should have been left on the cutting room floor?

This week the party sit down to talk about how to set expectations for your game with our very special guest Donogh McCarthy. Do you run your players through a session zero or send out a reading list to establish tone. What needs to be discussed beforehand and what do you save to spring on players during a campaign? Listen in to find out!

This week the party sit down to talk about Indie Roleplaying games with our very special guest Donogh McCarthy. Donogh has been a champion of the small press and self-published RPG's for many years, so we thought we would pick his brains about the appeal of niche systems and obscure genres. Enjoy!

This week the party continue to lay out the tools of the trade for the hardened game-breaker. If you have to crack open a game system and feast upon the marrow of numbers within what will you use? Time travel? The power of flight? Mind Bullets?! Pull on the protective gloves and goggles and grab a crow bar as we continue wrecking games!

This week the party pull apart all the different ways that games can break down. What do you do when the mechanics are on the fritz and the systems are short-circuiting? What are the common game-breakers and how do you spot them? Let's listen to the party suck their teeth and estimate the high costs of broken games right now.

Join our hosts for a weekly dive into Irish gaming. We bring you a mixture of discussions, games reviews and event previews/reviews.

The week the party discuss the various flavours of downtime we use in tabletop and live action roleplaying games. Do you plot like Svengali or chill with your extended family? Should you do your homework or just wing it when the GM asks you what you did during your holidays? All this and more discussed live and in real time by THE ADVENTURING PARTY!

The week the party discuss the pros and cons of 'light' games. What makes a game light (apart from how much grunting you do when you pick it up) and what are they good for? In the back half, talk turns to spending quality time gaming with the people you see most often - that's right; your co-workers!

The week the party are discussing the various ways players and GM's share and record information. If you know what your character doesn't know but no one took any notes then who knows what's known and unknown?! No worries, we have you covered so grab a notebook and listen in!
