Bonus Episode 46 – get out of my game

If you need an extra dose of Fear the Boot this week, Dan was a guest on two other podcasts.  First, he appeared on Saving the Game to talk about the moral dimension of folklore and re-imagining tabletop fantasy in a monotheistic paradigm.  Second, he appeared on Pros & Cons to talk about the nitty gritty of hosting a convention. As a side note, while Pros & Cons has a similar “no politics, no religion” policy to our own, Saving the Game is a Christian podcast.  It’s not aggressive toward other worldviews, but consider this fair warning that it does carry an overtly religious perspective. * (0:05) Chris demands the bonus episode disclaimer.  Johann delivers! * (1:19) The premise (and ditched titled) for the episode. * (1:33) The problem with Chris. * (4:10) Back to the prior topic!  What Dan wants gone: the “traitor” mechanic. * (7:33) What Johann wants gone: cursed items. * (15:53) What Chris wants gone: a lack of time and rules lawyers. * (26:29) What John wants gone: not being a kid, anymore. * (29:03) Playing across the gender aisle. * (32:58) Real-life versus your gaming life. * (34:25) The one piece of equipment your characters always have.  Plus encumbrance, belladonna, and garlic. * (42:29) Casting times, damage type versus armor type, and negative pressure.
