I am Michael, and this is Faculty Meeting # 61: Mordor or Bust

In this episode, Caleb and I discuss various ways that a Campaign can come to an end, both from real life intrusion and from events in the game and give suggestions on how to deal with both types.

As always, thanks for listening!

I am Michael, and this is Faculty Meeting # 57 – Looking Back

First, we want to give a shout-out to our newest Patrons. Randy, he of the green shirt and Erik A joined us this past week or so.  Erik at the level where we will be playing a game with him and some friends once a month.  I was hit with some inspiration and can’t wait for the first session. It’s either going to be awesome, or we may have to hit reset and try again, but eff-it, i’m swinging for the fences on this one.

This week Caleb and I take a look back at some of the comments we’ve generated from previous episodes. Specifically we re-touch on some comments from James, Peter, Dean and Andrew.  I was really happy with how this episode turned out and think you will too.  If you liked it as much as we did, make sure you send in new comments from our recent and future shows and we may make “Looking back” a recurring episode.

Thanks for listening. As always, comments and feedback are welcome.

I am Michael, and this is Faculty Meeting  # 51 – A New World Postmortem

In this Episode Caleb interviewed me concerning the end of The Campaigns: A New World series.  This is an in-depth review of the entire series and I answer many questions revolving the unsolved mysteries in the game. If you have not yet listened to the A New World episodes and plan on it, you may want to skip this episode.  In addition to answering listener questions about that Campaign series we hope to give some insight into how I plan out and prepare for my games.

We want to give a big TY Shout out to 2 new Patreon backers.

Staci, known as @DefinitelyStaci on Twitter backed us as did Clancy, known as @PDXGeek777.  Their support is helping our show grow. We give them a shout out on the podcast and have added their names to our Patron wall. Thank you both, so much.

Thanks for listening. As always, comments and feedback are welcome.

Hello and Welcome to Faculty Meetings: The general advice and discussion podcast from The RPG Academy where we discuss topics from our table or yours

I am Michael and this is Faculty Meeting # 49 – Maybe i’m the A$$hole

In this Episode Caleb and I discuss my recent trips to the Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio. I have already written up a recap that can be found HERE. This is essentially the podcast version of that. I expound a little bit more there, but not much.

One of the big topics of discussion is the Codename: Morningstar suit of tools that will be released to work with DnD5e. I got a chance to demo it in its current form at Origins and talk a lot about it.  For more info, check the link below.

I am Michael and this is Faculty Meeting # 48 – Not in Spanish.

In this episode we review a question from Jerry, who asked about DnD 4e encounter budgets.

We then cover the news of Basic D&D being free

Lastly we start discussing an idea I have for a new game where Pc death is expected and part of the story. From there we ramble on and expand on that idea.

Hello and Welcome to Faculty Meetings: The general advice and discussion podcast from The RPG Academy where we discuss topics from our table or yours

I am Michael and this is Faculty Meeting # 47: Villainous Cut Scenes.  In this episode we didn’t start out with the idea of talking about Villainous Cut Scenes, it just sort of happened  – say it with me – organically, from our conversation.

We started off to talk about two issues/questions sent in to us. The first is about using a monster that is likely too powerful for the PC’s to face just yet (why you would do it, and ways to make it work) and then we wanted to talk about situations when the DM runs a PC along with the party (why you should do it, and how it might not work).

Big thanks for our listeners sending in great questions and topic suggestions.

Thanks for listening. As always, comments and feedback are welcome.
