Podcasting again! Dungeon Master's Handbook - Episodes 40 and 41 are out now.
Jeez, I really am a complete newbie at this again, aren't I? I completely forgot that I had started podcasting again.
I have two episodes up right now, talking about restarting my tabletop AD&D game and the challenges/things I've run into.
No embeds - because apparently I've forgotten how to do that as well, but here are the links to the episodes:
Episode 40: Restarting my campaigns post-COVID -

Let me know what you think!
Great to hear you podcasting again Mike! It was interesting to hear you having to "field test" your notes. I have realized I suck at note taking. When I am not playing a regular every week game, I find I have no memory of what happened. Only now have I realized how much I rely on the player's recap that we usually start each session with. My GM style is so geared at providing a setting and then go with the flow, that when I don't get the players feeding me notes, the ones I have are woefully inadequate!
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot to ask. Did you find a good set of siege rules? Did they work out well for you?
ReplyDeleteThe theme here is forgetfulness...
ReplyDeleteYeah, my other question. I have during the pandemic found out so many people online playing Battletech, and not the old ones you and me both know, but a fast playing slimmed rules set called Alpha Strike. I might have mentioned them before, but now I'm really sold on it. Have you tried it out?
Re: Social Interaction - have you taken a look at Burning Wheel's Duel of Wits?
ReplyDeleteHi! No, I haven't... don't own the game! Is there a free/open source version of it out?
DeleteUnfortunately I don't believe so. I can't recommend Burning Wheel Gold enough though, even if you never play BW it is a great read and has some systems/tools that translate everywhere. Plus owning Burning Wheel seems to be some kind of 'rite of passage' for rpg gamers. :)
DeleteWell, guess I have to turn my RPG Gamer card back in! 😆
