EP24 - D&D vs. Everyone
This episode was a long-time coming, and we have finally cracked. With so many tabletop RPG titles out there one would think that it would be fairly easy to find folks that wanted to play something other than "Popular Fantasy RPG(tm)". But no. At least not in our experiences. So far most folks…

-
EP10 - The Trouble with Godliness
What started out as a nice conversation about Scion: Hero, a game in which players get to create direct offspring of their favorite gods, turned into a rather anxiety-inducing origin story about a recurring antagonist which Banjo, and his fellow players love to hate. Mind you there is a bit of…

EP09 - Of LARPs, and Nerds
Just when you thought it was over, Banjo comes back with another long, presumptive rant. This time it leads to a couple of stories about Live Action Roleplaying (LARPing). Yes, ACTUAL STORIES! It does come at the cost of learning a bit about the nerdiest way to play a game though... Amtgard...
