We finish our talk about making characters with talking about the people in their life and how it helps shape the story for you and the GM. For those listening to these episodes as they are released, apologies for the delay. Life just does not seem to want to let up, but hopefully we are back in the swing of things and can continue to make regular content for everyone. Music: Steel Rods by Kevin MacLeod (license)

Baking the character into the story is a balancing act and we teach you how to walk that delicate tightrope, as well as a completely on topic discussion of how quantum leap is the perfect example of all our points. Music: Brittle Rille by Kevin MacLeod (license)

We tackle story things and mechanical things to think about when making a PC and how to balance it, as well as some common pitfalls to watch out for. "Adventure Assemble!" is kinda meaty totally because we have a lot to talk about and not because we are struggling to remember things, not at all! Music: Kings of Tara by Kevin MacLeod (license)

We talk about how to add campaigns and stories into the worldbuilding and some dos and don'ts of the process, as well as how to maintain narrative integrity. We never once get off-topic at all! Music: Twisted by Kevin MacLeod (license)

Another unusually on-topic discussion as we continue our exploration of worldbuilding. People are enjoying these surprisingly. Oh, and if you pay attention you will hear something in this episode that we repeat next month. Music: Supernatural by Kevin MacLeod (license)

So this one is a bit harder to nail down as it's a little more ephemeral. But I think that, as always, it is a concise and definitive look at what to include in your considerations of worldbuilding, and how to attack the project without destroying yourself. Basically, how to succeed at worldbuilding without really trying.... Ok, for real done this time. Music: Tech Live by Kevin MacLeod (license)

While this is the last formal episode of the month there will be a bonus one coming out later with a final set of interviews that would have been just a bit much for this episode. So listen to how Round 4 played out and then check back later this week for an interview with one of the winners and one of the judges! Music: White by Kevin MacLeod (license)

This is a meaty one about round three of Outplay and with special inclusion of one of the players eliminated in round three. We gently and with all due respect and care remind them of that over and over and ask them to think hard about why they failed. All kidding aside it's a fun one!

KingMonkey is surprisingly quiet in this one. I think he's like a child when the parents have a new baby, he just feels left out because he is no longer the center of attention. But we have a new and improved version in our guide through Outplay 2020. The legend himself: Bhelogan! We are continuing our look at this year's competition and even hear from one of the contestants. Spoiler Alert! We will hear from another next week, and one of the winners the final week! We even have a special judge interview planned for the last week so strap in, it's a wild ride! Music: Discovery Hit by Kevin MacLeod (license)

We cover the basics of the beginning of outplay 2020 with "special" guest Bhelogan. HE was a good sport and we hope he decides to stick around a bit more. Next week, look forward to actual players from outplay to weigh in. It was definitely planned to be next week and not this week and I just didn't get it done. I don't even know why you would ask that! Music: Pyro Flow by Kevin MacLeod (license)

Surprisingly, we stay on topic for much of the episode. We touch on Serenity, Genesys, and the 200 word RPG contest. We also talk about the role of dice and their replacements, what makes telling the story feel right, and how it is a collaborative effort. And Scimmy finally goes too far....

Using our base knowledge and doing little to no outside research we cover d10/d100 systems with our normal professionalism and laser focus. That is to say, we use the dice to talk about whatever we want and sprinkle in the occasional "this is also a dice thing." We talk skills percentages and World of Darkness and generally what sort of experience should a game provide. It's an extra long one so come join our return to podland!

We begin the month with d20 and the D&D/Pathfinder systems. Our opinions may surprise you a bit. If you've been here before, you shouldn't be surprised at how distractable we are, but the overall theme is d20 and how it affects the viability of gameplay and narrative decisions. Come along for a pretty fun ride.
