  Checking in with you, the Besties

  This is just a check-in with you, our beautiful listeners.   The TL:DL is that there is some real life health stuff going on that has meant we've had to take a temporary pause in the podcast.   Do not fear, however, we will...

  Season 11 - Episode 33 - Goodness Gracious Cannonballs are Fired

  Someone fires the cannon. That's all that matters this week. It was Chekov's cannon and it gets fired. Who fires it? At whom? From wherefore? Question marks?

  Season 11 - Episode 29 - Get out of Fail Free Card

  Another lockdown episode. Sorry I got behind again. This is classic plans and failing at plans that you want from the Formal Gamer.    Stay safe   The Formal Gamer

  We're back. After an unintended hiatus we return to Grot and Dante attempting to get themselves out of a pickle they have placed themselves in...again. Where is Rill? How will they stop the evil circus? What happened to John the...

  Season 11 - Episode 19 - Names and Shames

• 11.18.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 18 - Popped His Clogs

  Grot and Dante get up to some cave and shoe based hijinks. This is what people want from narrative based games. The chance to screw with things and throw stuff about. It's a classic.

  
• 11.03.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 17 - So it Seams

  There's darkness and depths, which I am fairly certain what the D and D stand for in DnD. Grot and Dante have got a vampire army to wipe out and a ward to avenge.    

  
• 10.16.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 16 - Shore Shore

  The boys have got some sad decisions to make. And now Grot is even more angry than before...and he was hardly chilled out.

  
• 09.28.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 15 - The Emergency Ward

  The less I say the better. Less = Better. But...intense...     Here is a link to the new store at Threadless. Go and bathe in its magnificence. Or order a t-shirt. Or don't. You know it really is up to you.   You can also find...

  
• 09.11.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 14 - Bash at the Beach

  Abu has done a map. And I forgot to tell you how good it was. Look at our Twitter and our Facebook and tell Abu how amazing he is. He deserves it. Or he'll rob you. He's got over 100...

  
• 08.28.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 13 - The Guerrilla Thriller

  The island is a site of war. A weird little guerrilla war, and Dante and Rill are late for action. How will Grot cope with protecting his little island all on his own...well and with Gorlock. But is he more...

  
• 08.12.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 12 - Living the Scheme

• 07.30.2019

  You're about to hear an epic tale...ENJOY

  
• 07.15.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 10 - Little Miss Information

  Grot and Dante are still skulking and scheming. That is their default setting to be fair. If they are not skulking then they're scheming, and if you can't see them scheming you can bet they'll be skulking. I'm not sure...

  
• 07.01.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 09 - Clowns are In-Tents

  We are in the throws of running away and running toward. Just a lot of running. Mainly to get out of trouble, but also to make sure that Gorlock is ok.  At some point they need to get into this circus...

  
• 06.19.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 08 - Subtle to a Tea

  Sorry I'm late. I feel like Gorrus, but in real life. Shooo Shorrry.   Dante and Grot have been causing chaos, but now they have some stuff to get done. And there is no way that they could get into more trouble....

  
• 06.03.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 07 - If A Clown Screams in The Forest Does It Make A Sound?

  Grot and Dante just can't stop finding naughty circus folk. And when they find naughty circus folk then there is some violence-a-coming. Let's just hope that neither one of them loses sight of what's important...

  
• 05.20.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 6 - It Just Keeps Happening

  Dante definitely meant to stab Gorlock. Grot doesn't realise this. So that's another great moment in the most awkward friendship. Poor, poor, Gorlock. Grot and Dante have got a funfair to investigate. It will definitely be a subtle affair, that we...

  
• 05.06.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 05 - Kicked Out The Bar

  This gets awkward. I can't say too much about it, but it is going to get really awkward.  Grot has a son now...and if anything happened to him then he would be furious.  So, so furious.

  
• 04.21.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 4 - A Meal, Drink and Dancing

  Grot and Dante are investigating a small innocent town. There is something up, but uncovering it is going to take subtlety, care and attention. So this is the perfect team for the job.

  
• 04.07.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 03 - A Dairy Tale

  Grot and Dante have decided that this plan, to subtley infiltrate an evil cult, needs them to take on a ward and befriend a family of farmers. This will of course never go wrong, and will never become stupid or...

  
• 03.29.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 02 - Roll Up Roll Up

  Thanks for all the kind comments about Season 11.  Grot and Dante are back, and they have learnt how to rob people (though it's an expensive past time). And now they have a new victim/friend Rafaq. Surely being friends with a...

  
• 03.17.2019

  Season 11 - Episode 01 - Crime Does Pay

  We run down the history of Grot and Dante, and then they work out how to get to a small village along a country road. That is the only challenge...and yet it somehow becomes something much, much more.   Thanks to all...

  
• 03.06.2019

  Bonus Episode - 2018 Dragonmeet - Episode 2

  This sounds better. After 10 minutes anyway. Thanks to all those who took part at Dragonmeet this year. When I have more time I will write some proper thanks and give shout outs on Twitter. Real life needs to chill...

  
• 02.25.2019

  Bonus Episode - 2018 Dragonmeet - Episode 1

  We are back in the podcastzone at Dragonmeet. The recording sounds awful because I am an idiot. This was a string of bad moves in recording in December. There is a longer apology in the podcast intro. Sorry.   The situation this...

  
• 02.11.2019

  Season 10 - Episode 32 - Will he croak?

  We are in the final battle and Gorrus is having a tough time. A very tough time. Enough talking I suspect. You need to hear what occurs next. Pray to Kord.

  
• 02.04.2019

  Season 10 - Episode 31 - From the Jaws of Defeat

  And we get into the thick of it. There is no glory without fear of death. And we are scared of dying this week. This episode was a double parter. So it does end abruptly. Sorry it is late. A...

  
• 01.27.2019

  Season 10 - Episode 30 - Battle Ready

  The battle is upon us. The final plans need to be drawn up. Who will engage in combat first? Will we write letter to our mothers? Will Gorrus be allowed to do anything without being messed with first. All that,...

  
• 01.21.2019

  Season 10 - Episode 29 - A Very Long Training Montage

  So we fixed the audio. But we still have an issue. Farven is not a level 20. Everyone else is. And the battle they are about to undertake is seriously badass. How will Farven get ready for this final war?...

  
• 01.14.2019

  Season 10 - Episode 28 - The Bad Sounds

  THIS EPISODE SOUNDS BAD!  I am sorry. I messed up the record. It is bad.    I hope you can still enjoy it. If you can't then next week the sound is good again.    Farven needs to level up quickly, and we need...

  
• 01.06.2019

  Season 10 - Episode 27 - Three Gods and a Mortal

  Three lucky people got some magic pills...someone didn't. And there is no way that this could cause a massive issue is there?   Here is a link to the new store at Threadless. Go and bathe in its magnificence. Or order a t-shirt....

  
• 12.31.2018

  Season 10 - Episode 26 - What a Witch

  I'm not sure how Abu spells Una/Oona/Ouhna but she is a pretty major part of todays episode and is proving to be an absolute witch.  Time for the gang to enact a plan and see if they can work together. Here...

  
• 12.22.2018

  Season 10 - Episode 25 - Just Deserts

  It's almost Christmas. And we have another episode of the Formal Gamer Podcast. You lucky ducks.    The guys are hanging out in the desert with Wellbourne and scheming. So much scheming. So many plots and ploys.   Here is a link to the new...

  
• 12.16.2018

  Season 10 - Episode 24 - Get On With The Story

  Won't someone let Abu explain the story?  Why won't we just let him talk?  Why do we keep talking over him and ignoring him?   Everyone has to listen this week to some very important news.  And that sends the DM slightly...

  
• 12.09.2018

  Season 10 - Episode 23 - The Sands of Time

  There is no intro with me talking this week. It is too noisy for me to record one. Sorry.   Gorrus, Sot Rue (and his new Golems) and Farven are finally making real progress. But alas that progress is going to come...
