RPG Crosstalk Show 20

This episode is hosted by Alex M of Yellow Menace and superfan Alex S.

Episode 20 is live! It's an all-Alex show as Alex Swingle drops the 411 on some Kickstarter goodness and the return of Mom's Basement while Alex Mayo from Yellow Menace lavishes attention on Jennisodes guest Enrique, the Newbie DM and chats about introducing non-gamers to the hobby.

Also - Alex S. files a complaint against the Yellow Menace crew, which can only be resolved through a human beatbox contest followed by a sword duel. Yeah.

Self Critical Hits
Episode 22: What’s My Motivation, Denzel?
A pleasantly diverting discussion on the topic of motivation at the roleplaying table: why we do the things we do in game, and what we might learn from their doing. It all gets a bit navel-gaze-y, really (but entertainingly so!).

Some recommendation’s from this August’s august Self-Critical Hits company precede the central agenda item, along with a listing of games that Ms. Brewster encountered at Go Play NW, several minutes of James being tormented and planes flying over, and a surprise appearance by an Academy Award winner (or two!).
