How to contact us:


News from the Fora (where we briefly discuss things going on in the community)

  • Ruthless Diastema has two new episodes, ep 21 about Mermaid Adventures Kickstarter (which is now over) and ep 22 about Scrabblenauts
  • Weekly or nearly shows are all over RPG Crosstalk right now! - Gamerstable, Knights of the Night, Jennisodes (episode 100 just came out with WIL WHEATON), Roo Sack, Monkey in the Cage, Shark Bone, GUBAR


Springboard (where we each discuss a topic raised in a recent show from the community)

Rich
- In Knights of the Night episode 77, they enter into two social conflicts with NPCs (one interrogation scene, one scene where they try to browbeat an admin assistant). Are social conflict systems as satisfying as the often more clean physical conflict systems like combat? I don't think they are, but why not? Chris Perrin talks about Burning Wheel and Duel of Wits and Alex mentions Lady Blackbird, thereby winning the discussion.

Alex - Planning on talking about 2GM’s 1 Mic ‘Character Creation as Play’ - I touched on my experience with Traveller character generation last episode, also discuss FATE chargen, especially Spirit of the Century. Amber Diceless Roleplay.

Chris - Monkey in the Cage’s How Gaming Influences Us Away from the Table.  This is something I struggle with/embrace in my professional career.

Also on the Feed (other podcasts we're listening to)
