Favorite Season of D&D Encounters

MtA Episode 82: Cantrip, Can’t Trip

A great episode of Magic the Amateuring!

Ben is not there, but Matthias does a great job filling in. This episode has more historical information then normal--the section Banned in Legacy--is particularly great.

As always, this is a fun playful podcast about Magic.

Tact-Tiles Return, Breaking D&D is Bad, and is Ragequitting Okay? HASTE 119

A great episode of HASTE--actually feels like a bit of a return for Jerry who has seemed disconnected and not that into the last few episodes.

Good review of a kickstarter for some tiles, a wonderful discussion on rage quitting, and an anti min/maxing discussion. I think that these conversations around "bag-of-rats fighters" are very helpful as we move to the new edition of D&D.

I enjoyed this one a lot.

Icosahedrophilia Podcast, Episode 204: Beyond the Wall of Sleep, Part 5

This is another great episode from Southern California's finest gaming group.

This is a mostly combat related episode, which we have not had in a very long time, it is nice to see the players dusting off their character sheets and rolling some dice.

Lucas writes in asking about Yes, And during the creative process of campaign design. Email from Michael writes in about triggers, lines, veils and the X card. Jacob asks us to chime in about his concept for a timeline jumping adventure.
Andrew from Yorkshire gives us his thoughts on the social mechanics vs player agency argument. Bill writes in about several options for running sentient items as PCs. And Hangman shares with us the awesomeness of the They Live inspired RPG, All Outta Gum.

This is a good episode.

I did not know that Stu did not know Numenera and he really does not get into the why's here, but I found those comments interesting.

The Guys from Misdirected Mark are fantastic & bring a very different energy to the show--the talk of creating a con via kickstarter is very good.
