What more could we possibly have to say about this topic? Jim isn’t done psychoanalyzing us, until about halfway through when he decides he’s bored of it. How come we don’t explore THAT? Also, Avengers

With the Evil Doers tricking the priest they can not move on to other things. Like destroying a phylactery to make contact with an evil deity...

The "Unwitting Servants of Justice" venture forth towards Black Fire Pass.  They get comfortable with Dwarf culture, eat some stone bread, battle a politician and overcome a lisp.  Who is Stonepaunch? Whats the deal with the Penny Tax?  Is Rob's third horn turning purple?

In episode 18, the founders break out Galaxy Trucker, the game that was purchased twice for our X-Mas gift sharing, to bring you a walkthrough and review. Tony does his duty and brings us the best of gaming news. Then we follow that up with a lighthearted discussion about our gaming pet peeves. To conclude [...]

The team must gain entrance into the habitat, track down the missing agent and pursue their investigation. Along the way, they will deal with mercurial uplifts, ape pit fights and a devastating secret that would throw transhumanity into chaos if it became public.

You know that player.  The one who sits in at the far end of the table, plays around on their phone, and occasionally throws the (sometimes wrong) dice when prompted.  They never remember the rules, they aren't involved in any subplots, and they just bob along after the rest of the party.  But when you ask them why they aren't engaged with the game, they respond, "Are you kidding?  I'm having a blast!"

As casual gaming become more and more a part of our culture, many GMs face the challenge of creating a game that can appease both their casual and hardcore players.  This week, Jason and the crew discuss their own experiences with casuals and the solutions they've found.

We'd also like to welcome Jonathan Strootman to the crew!  Jonathan is the man behind Grok Bloodface's intimidating scowl.  Go check out his work at the Tales of an Orc kickstarter page!

In this final episode of the Slender Man campaign, the investigators have to deal with a threat at a chemical plant in the Tanner Neighborhood. The battle will be deadly but they may have a few aces up their sleeves. This was the last session we played of the campaign. I admit I didn’t have an end game planned and I made the mistake of throwing in too many elements to make the game work, I think. If I had kept it a Hunter/Changeling game it might have worked better, but adding in vampires and prometheans because they were cool wasn’t a good idea. However, I did have fun with this game and hope you liked it, even though it was run during the summer of 2010 (as you can tell by the references made in the game). The Moon fairy tale mentioned in this campaign.
