#12: Most Things are Powerless Without Their Heads

/

Ok, so we said we wouldn't follow up with Part 2, but we decided to anyway.

In this unexpected continuation of our RPG Deconstruction up we finish talking about magic and power levels.

Timing Apology: We both want to say we're sorry about this episode being posted late. Please know that real life circumstances were exceptional, and we'll be making every effort to avoid this going forward.

Audio Quality Note: Unfortunately there are a few spots where Tim's Cable company decided he should be auto tunned during the Skype Call. I don't think they did a very good job, hopefully they won't do it again next week.

#10: Sucked Right Back In

/

In our first normal episode since Gencon, we take a stab at doing our first game review. After some follow up on previous topics we break down Gravwell, a new game from Corey Young (@CMYoung) and Cryptozoic.

Follow up:

Gravwell Links:

During the episode we came up with a spontaneous rating system. Really should standardize these....

Quality:

  • Tim gave Gravwell an A or 5 Stars
  • Bryan gave a 4 out of 5 or 5 Turkeys

Mechanics:

  • Tim gave a 4 of 5
  • Bryan went with 4.5 Wombats

Fun:

  • Tim rolled and decided on 5 Dice
  • Meanwhile Bryan thought it deserved 5 Chinchillas

Overall:

  • Overall Tim gave Gravwell 4.5 Addiction Demons
  • Bryan settled on 4.5 Sphinxes

We're really not sure what these scales represent, but we love this game.

#9: The one thing to do at Gencon? True Dungeon

/

In this, our first ever MEGA-EPISODE, we get to sit down with senior members of True Dungeon staff: Jeff Chandler, David Radtke, and Jean Monfort. They where kind enough to talk to us both before and after we had a chance to run through the dungeons for the first time.

This was an absolute blast for us and we can't wait to get back to Gencon 2014 to run again. Thanks again for giving us so much of your time.

Here are a few links for you guys to check out:

We've also posted a few photos from our time there.

#8: Gencon 2013 Day Four

/

In our fourth and final recap episode from Gencon 2013 we talk about how we wrapped up our time at the convention. Following up this discussion is a great conversation we had with Cory Jones from Cryptozoic.

As warned in previous Gencon episodes some of the sound quality, notably Bryan and Tim's during the interview, is a little rawer than usual.
