Hello all,

Here is Episode 22 of our DnDNext Actual Play podcast.  In this Episode, Zaine (being controlled by Me as an NPC – Evan was out this week), gets some shocking news from Grexil as one of his big secrets gets revealed.  Yomi learns just how dangerous the sewers can be and Zaine gets grappled by a Red Arm Guard who uses an as of yet, unknown ability on him.  Had a hard time finding a good cutting point, so this episode just sorta ends and we’ll pick up at the same spot in 23.

Hello all,

***UPDATED**** 06/302013 – I was informed through the forum that the volume on this episode was really low. This was not an intentional Meta-joke based on the title. It was a mistake on my part. I went back in and did a quick and dirty Amplify through Audacity.  It’s still not where it should be, but it is louder. Sorry for any inconvenience. A big thanks to Azgarod for the heads-up!!

Here is Episode 20 of our DnDNext Actual Play podcast. In this Episode the PC’s make their way back to the City of Mairhaposa and find that it has . . . changed. The Bazaar where they met Sallah just days before looks to have been abandoned for years. Stranger yet, Sallah doesn’t seem to notice. This is but the first of the oddities the PC’s encounter.

Hello all,

Here is Episode 20 of  Dungeon Talk; our General advice/discussion podcast.  For this Episode we were joined by Niko and Rob and a Special Guest James (@Massimo_53). James runs the DnD Encounters games at a local game store here in Cincinnati. He’s been playing RPG’s for a while and has a lot of experience with Savage Worlds, which we wanted to discuss. I thought he did a great job and certainly added to the discussion.

Here are this week’s segment topics:

James’ Introduction – 0:00 –  6:00

1. Table Topic # 1 – Savage worlds review/discussion; 6:00 – 32:30

2. Table Topic # 2 – Roleplaying in a way that harms the party: 32:30 – 44:50

3. Mailbag – we answer a question sent in from Christian concerning a Music Based Puzzle. (If you want to give your thoughts, visit our Podcast question thread on RPG Crosstalk Forums):  44:50 – 57:45

4. House rules – a first for a new segment where we will discuss the pro’s/con’s of adding a new rule into our DnD Games. This week’s rule is ‘exploding dice’ from savage worlds – essentially if you roll the max number on a damage die, you keep rolling and adding. (if you want to give your thoughts, visit our House rule thread on RPG Crosstalk Forums). 57:45 – 1:06:30

As always, thanks for listening and comments/feedback are welcomeThanks!!

Hello all,

Here is Episode 19 of  Dungeon Talk; our General advice/discussion podcast.   I would call this a ‘lite’ episode. We spend the majority of the time discussing the outrage over a recent episode of the Big Bang Theory Televsion show. We then talk some about Gencon. Then we finally get to our regular stuff and cover a mailbag and deadlands and finally have another round of Synergy with a pack of Dragon Maze cards.  I’m including the time segments incase you want to jump around, over or through some of those topics.

Here are this week’s segment topics:

1. Current Events: The Big Bang Theory and Nerd Rage collide over an Episode where the characters play D&D; Thru 19:23

2. GenCon: We discuss in general our excitement and frustrations of the Wish list of Gencon: 19:23 – 27:22

3. Mailbag – We answer a question sent in by VanRPL; how to you balance wanting to be a Party leader vs. taking over a game. 27:23 – 38:21

4. Table topics  1 – Deadlands: We discuss the new Deadlands game we are playing and some of our thoughts about it and the Savage Worlds game system.  38:21 – 50:51

5. Synergy – Evan forgot his pack of cards so we ended up opening one pack of Dragon Maze MTG cards and working together to come up with a story idea. 50:51 – 58:06

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

Thanks!!

Hello all,

Here is Episode 16 of our DnDNext Actual Play podcast. In this Episode The PC’s go off-script in a beautiful way and finally take charge of their circumstances. We also introduce a new player/PC. Travis, just back from a tour in Afghanistan joins our table again and plays Quarian an Elf, unlike any the Pc’s have ever known.
