#Shadowrun #RPG

On today's podcast, I am answering an email but this time, its about Shadowrun. The question is about designing missions and what advice do I have about making the missions interesting. Listen in as I give an example of a mission I came up with that lasted a few sessions, and had a moral dilemma.

On today's podcast, I decided to take a look at the limited wish spell, breaking it down and giving my interpretation of the spell, how it could be used and how it should not be used. Of course just like anything in any game, the opinion is subjective to the reader's interpretation, and in this case its mine. Maybe you'll rule things differently and that's where the voicemail, email or even a youtube comment comes into play. Use it!

In today's episode, I talk about a book that helped things actually click in my head for Solo Roleplaying and give me a better understand of how to actually do it. Listen in and I will describe what about this book really helped!

In this episode today, I ponder the question of a DM giving players advice during combat, warnings during play and if those players should listen to the DM. I also go over if a DM should give "bad or evil" advice to players and is that fair of him to do that?

On today's podcast I decided to take a look at another spell, starting with its AD&D 1e roots, and see how its evolved since then. The Armor spell in AD&D is often misused in my opinion and I wanted to clear up how it works exactly and then we take a look at Mage Armor, which is what the spell morphed into and compare it with 3e and 5e vs 1e. Which is superior, which works better? Tune in and find out!

In this episode I shine the spotlight on an often-overlooked spell called, Goodberry. Join me as I look at it from AD&D, and how its evolved through out the editions of D&D. Its a very versatile spell and it should be in every Druid's list of spells.

In this episode I got an email from LeroyD20 asking me about my thoughts about thoughts on the Paladins continuous protection from evil ability and if the "detect evil" ability is over used!
