We have all had great players at our table, but what made them great? Was it how they roleplayed or how they interacted with other players at the table? Were they ready to go when they sat down at the table? If you had to take all those qualities and instill them into a players, what would make an ideal player to you? Today in our session we talk about the positive traits we want to see in ourselves and our players as we sit on the players side of the screen. The ideal player, the one we want to play with and the one we want to be. So grab a drink, sit down, and have a listen.

Whether your rolls aren’t in your favor or you’re just not having the best of luck, we wanted to discuss what players and DMs could do to help one another and help themselves to handle and overcome failures at the table. Players and DMs both experience different things when they encounter it, but we hope to put some ideas out there to help you bounce back from it and hopefully, have fun with it when it happens.

Your character, heir to the wealth and business of the family, has succumbed to the curse of lycanthropy! What kind of life does that mean for him or her? Do you ask kindly for your family or friends to end your cursed existence or do you steer into the skid and find a new path forward? These are the kinds of things we wanted to discuss today when we talk about Character Growth. Where and what are some things you can do to help your character to grow in this world as a person. It’s easy to grow stats, but a living person within the world of your game comes with its own complications. But DMs you aren’t excluded from this as we discuss ways you can help facilitate that player growth. So, grab a drink, sit down, and listen as we discuss. Enjoy!

We leave the lands of swords and sorcery and delve into the realms traveling between the stars and the dark reaches of the science fiction. While Abe is out determining new forms his transmutation magics can change him into, John and Matt talk Kevin Crawford’s Stars Without Number. Touching on things brought up in previous episodes as the topic of choice had been alluded to many times before, we dive back into it and give the system its own dedicated episode. So sit down, buckle up, and let us take care of plotting the course as we discuss Stars Without Number.

The blade thrown from the warrior’s hand flies true, like a dark raven upon the wind, strikes the fleeing foe in the back. As the weapon stands tall, lodged in his foes back, it sprouts ethereal wings that returns it back to the warrior’s hand. Magic items give history and lore to your world, in addition to adding power to your players’ repertoire of skills and talents. Maybe it’s the object that overcomes the upcoming hurdles. Maybe it’s the bane of your existence. One way or another magic items are the glitter sprinkled across your world. So today we wanted to talk about them a bit with you all. So sit back in your chairs of cushioning, enjoy the enchanted mugs of everfilling ale, and listen in with your Crystals of Vox Casting.
