In this episode we announce our newest RPG Academy Network Member; Taylor LeBresh (@LeviathanFiles) and his show Riverhouse Games.  Game Closet is an interview podcast seeking to talk to and highlight the contributions and projects of LGBT+ tabletop gamers. Hosted by a relative newcomer to the tabletop community, Taylor LaBresh, this show is produced under the Riverhouse Games brand alongside another podcast, The Leviathan Files, and small story games.

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/FT-WFep1.mp3 Hello and welcome to A special edition our Field Trips. For this Field Trip we jump back once again to my childhood and the 1982* cartoon Challenge of the Super-Friends but we do it by the cracked mirror of Wushu so this is Challenge of the Wushuper Friends. *turns out this cartoon was from the 70's but i'm quite sure I watched it in the early 80's and we really screw up the timeline anyway - so just don't worry about it. For our Halloween special we have once again enlisted the playing and vocal talents of  Associate Professor and friend of the show Andrew Young ( @ThatOneGM) and regular Faculty Member Matt Parody (@MattParody) and Scott B. (@GeoWtf). I hope you enjoy! Comments and Feedback are always welcome.

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/ANWep20.mp3 Hello, and welcome to the Campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from The RPG Academy. This is where you get to hear how our games actually run at the table. I am Michael, and this is The Campaigns, A New World, Episode 20 - The End In our last episode the PC's explored the first levels of the Temple of the Faceless Gods and found two androgynous priests who appeared to be frozen or catatonic.  They believe these are the frozen slug-people they are looking for. We pick up this episode as they head down to the basement. Please continue to listen after for a brief msg for me about why this is the last episode. As always, thanks for listening.

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/ANWep19.mp3 Hello, and welcome to the Campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from The RPG Academy. This is where you get to hear how our games actually run at the table. I am Michael, and this is The Campaigns, A New World, Episode 19 - DIBS. In our last episode the PC's finally began to explore the city proper and found that to the right of the door they entered there was a collection of small, one-story buildings that all looked exactly the same. While exploring one of these buildings they found it locked from the inside, and then bodies inside as if they people had fought one another to the death. Later, they found a large door that they believe would also lead out of the city. They were just about to open this door, when we left out. So, we'll pick up there. As always, thanks for listening.

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/ANWep18.mp3 Hello, and welcome to the Campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from The RPG Academy. I am Michael and this is The Campaigns: A New World: Episode 18: The Founding In our last episode the conflict between Durand and Valius erupted in a near PVP battle. They managed to stop short (just short) of attacking one another after Blaine stepped in and told Valius that an attack on Durand would be considered an attack on himself. With this temporary cease-fire still simmering under the surface, the true exploration of this city can begin. As always, thanks for listening. Comments and Feedback are always welcome.

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/ANWep17.mp3 Hello, and welcome to the Campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from The RPG Academy. I am Michael and this is The Campaigns: A New World: Episode 17: Theological Debate I feel I need to give a warning for this episode. Until now I don't think any of mine or my players religious or political opinions have really come up in game, at least not in a way that should offend anyone else. This episode, however, we get a bit on a religious kick. It comes out of the fact that Niko's Paladin Valious is trying to convince Rob's Cleric Durand that he is doing evil things, perhaps unwittingly. As this religious discussion comes out we start to spill over to real world religion trying to draw comparisons. It was not our intention or desire to offend anyone who holds any beliefs and what we say here was of course exhaberated a bit for comedic effect. If you are sensitive to religious opinion (for or against) then maybe this episode you should skip. You have been warned! Now, on to the show. Hello and welcome to the Campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from The RPG Academy. I am michael and this is the Campaigns: A new world: Episode 17: Theological Debate. In our last episode the PC's, after securing a temporary truce with the slug people decided to go to the upside down forest and gather wood for fire and light. While there they were attacked by Spectral tigers. Just as we left off a large black tentacle came slithering out of the forest depths and was about to attack the 3 dwarven volunteers who had come along with the PC's. This is where we will pick up this episode as Valius rushes to the aid of his Dwarven brethren, but soon the conflict between Durand and Valius comes to a head. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

  Hello and welcome to the campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from The Rpg Academy. I am Michael and this is The Campaigns: A New World: Episode 15: Roll Call!!   In our last episode the PC's made their way through the vast underground cavern that the stair case led them too. They passed through an upside down forest and crossed two small fresh water streams and then came upon a massive walled city. The slug people claimed that this city would offer our pilgrims safety and security and in exchange for helping them find this place, they wanted the pilgrims to go into the city and bring back out some of the the slug-o's that are trapped there. We pick up this episode as the PC's and Noble's are still negotiating with the Slug-O's and trying to decide if the City is a trap or salvation.     Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.Comments and Feedback are always welcome.~MichaelE-mail us at Podcast@TheRpgAcademyFollow us on twitter @TheRpgAcademyVisit our Facebook PageJoin our new Google+ Community page: The Rpg AcademyBecome a backer: Patreon.com/TheRpgAcademy and get episodes early and other great rewards

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DTep44.mp3 Hello and Welcome to Dungeon Talk. The General advice and discussion podcast from The Rpg Academy I am Michael and this is Dungeon Talk Episode 44 - Realm Works. In this Episode Caleb and I are joined by Liz Theis of Lone Wolf Development who you probably know from their program Hero Lab.  Liz is their Community Development Manager which boils down to being a go-to person for interacting with customers, through Twitter @LoneWolfDevel , through Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hero-Lab/153378634672359 or forums AND guesting on Podcasts, like our own. Caleb and I start off the interview by chatting with Liz for a bit and making her feel welcome. We then move on the the meat of the show which is to discuss Lone Wolf Developments new program Realm Works  ( http://www.wolflair.com/realmworks/ ) which is  a complete campaign management program.  Liz was able to get Caleb and I review copies of the program, but because it is not currently available for Mac i was unable to get hands-on with the program.  Caleb did and LOVED it. If you search Realm Works on Youtube there are plenty of Demo videos available if you would like to see the program in use before you decide if it's right for you. Lastly, I asked Liz a question that she could not answer :  "What was the meaning behind the name Lone Wolf Development?"  She got me the answer the next day on e-mail and it's due to the owner of the company having started the company on his own and was its only employee for a couple years. Thus : Lone Wolf. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DTep43.mp3 Hello and Welcome to Dungeon Talk. The General advice and discussion podcast from DnD Academy. I am Michael and this is Dungeon Talk Episode 43 N.P.C. --ynergy. In this episode Caleb and I are joined by friend of the show NPC Chris for a Synergy session. Chris is the co-host of one of my favorite podcasts NPC Cast. They do a podcast that covers a broader range of topics about games including, but not limited to RPG's. http://npccast.wordpress.com You can also connect with the guys from NPC CAST on twitter @NPCchris - The nice one @NPCAaron - The smart one @NPCdel - The funny one. Before we get started on the Synergy though, we talk for a few minutes about 13th Age as Caleb and I are about to start a new game with that system. We had 2 synergy submission sent in this time from Matthew Parody and Andrew "That One GM." During the recording we got off topic for a while and Chris and I were geeking out about Podcasting stuff so we went long. For that reason we didn't cover those two Synergies on the show. After editing we had time so I went back and recorded them. I'm also going to post them here so you can read them as well. Matthew's submission: Born of the Gods Synergy The humans of the great-walled city of Theriad have grown lazy and godless. They rule about their vast (island) kingdom and care only for themselves. A (bolt(of Keranos)) comes from the heavens. It destroys a piece of their walls. A warning has been given, and not heeded. The merfolk fret for the humans so a great wizard(deepwater hypnotist) is called to help reign in the humans hubris. A great (sudden storm) is called up from the seas to wash away the humans. Or at least some of them, to ease them back into the right way of things. The walls are too great. Alas it fails and only the Minotaur tribe is punished with watery graves. With the minotaurs decimated the centaurs(pheres-band raiders) see the signs that the gods are giving. A (great hart) has told them that gods' fury is coming and the only safety is within the walls of Theriad. They begin attacking humans and laying siege to the city. The satyrs also sense the impending doom and the smartest of their kind (satyr wayfinder) sneaks into the city with gifts for the doomed ones. The (Claim of Erebos) and (Aspect of Hydra) are greedily taken from the wise satyr. But his words are not. Finally, a (Meletis Astronomer) from within Theriad sees something gathering in the stars. With the centaurs almost broken the human gaze up at the evidence of a (Retraction Helix) growing in the sky. The night is filled with a rain of (Eidolons(Flitterstep, Nyxborn & Shieldmate)) The humans take up arms against this new and growing foe. They look for help in the merfolk, centaurs, minotaurs & satyrs. They humans find help is hard to come by... Their great heroes wield the weapons gifted to them by the (wayfinder) Suddenly the (Helix) is open enough and then (Phenax, God of Deception) sets onto the island and gazes upon the wounded city... Andrew "That One GM" Young's submission : The Pitch: PCs are sent to Isle DeLan to find the Great Hart and gain the blessing of Heliod (for some endeavor of their own or perhaps for their whole nation). They are shipwrecked and trapped there. They must avoid Ydra and her centaur warriors while they search for the Great Hart. They discover that the only way off the island is to unite the separated and bitter members of the Circle of Five and open the Helix Stair, which will take the PCs home. Of course, Ydra and the members Circle of Five might want to use the blessing of Heliod and the Helix Stair for their own purposes… Great Hart – A symbol of Heliod which grants Heliod's blessing to any who can find and approach it; it is currently on Isle DeLan Ydra (ee-drah) – The human form of a powerful half-dragon hydra who rules the Isle DeLan as a goddess [Aspect of Hydra] Pheres-Band Raiders – A tribe of warrior centaurs ...

I am Michael and this is The Campaigns: A New World: Episode 14: Divine Asian In our last episode Blaine and Jack exposed Slugo-Mavin as an impostor in front of the other nobles and then killed him. Before he died, that slug created, mistakenly thinking Blaine was going to let him live, mind melded the location of where they needed to go to be safe from the new invaders.  Those new invaders were just outside where Valius and Durrand were holding them off. In this episode we pick up just as Treydak is following a wisp, Blain is rallying the civilians and Durrand and Valius are trying to hold off the invaders. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

I am Michael and this is Dungeon Talk Episode 42 - Death & Dying.  In this episode Caleb and I start off talking about making combat encounters more difficult without making them less fun. We then transition into our main topic concerning PC death. This topic had come up on a couple podcasts I that I listen to recently and it's got me thinking about the role PC death plays in the game.

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/ANWep13.mp3 Hello and welcome to the campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from DnD Academy. I am Michael and this is The Campaigns: A New World: Episode 13: Blaine Could Care Less In our last episode The PC's realized that Treydak (the Druid) while in animal form had the ability to detect the slugo-creature doppelgangers by scent. Using the fact that Blaine had already been summoned to an Noble Meeting to discuss the unauthorized voting box that had been set up for him, Blaine snuck Treydak in animal form into the meeting so he could sniff around. Blaine, Jack and Treydak walked around the tent until they got to Mavin where Treydak alerted Blaine that Mavin was a slug-o. In this episode we pick up just there as the Pc's deal with the revelation that Mavin has been replaced.

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/DTep39.mp3 Hello and Welcome to Dungeon Talk. The General advice and discussion podcast from DnD Academy. I am Michael and this is Dungeon Talk Episode 39 - The Not So Great Escape. This week our first returning guest Matthew Parody (Co-host of the ProbablyQuestionable podcast) joins Caleb and I as we discuss the use of Prison as a setting in your D&D or RPG game. We hit this a couple different ways: 1. Starting a game in prison. Do you use this just to get the band together or is there a challenge/puzzle tied into the prison. 2. Setting the game in a  prison. 3. Using a prison as part of a longer on-going game. Stick around after the show for some Nazi talk - always a good time. Please check out Matthew's podcast page and other info by following the links below. http://ipacomedy.com/ https://www.facebook.com/IPAComedy http://carpegm.net/ http://probablyquestionable.com/ Thanks for listening.

I am Michael and this is The Campaigns: A New World: Episode 9: Box Full of Demons! In our last episode we learned that neither Blaine or Durrand had been nominated but Abram had.

It was priceless.  In this episode, the PC's begin to conspire and learn that the threats of this world are not just giant things, but there may be something devious at work inside of camp. Valius goes off searching for something and finds it in an unexpected place. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy. Comments and Feedback are always welcome.

    Hello and welcome to the campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from DnD Academy.   This is A New World: Episode 7: We Should Go Back   There is a session missing between episode 6 and 7, there was also about a 2 month gap between those episodes so I do a longer intro at the beginning of the game which should cover all the important details. The one thing I did leave out, was what happened with the Godzilla-ish creature that roared at the end of ep 6.  In the session that's missing, Nick's character Treydak turned into a bird and flew at the creature, buzzing around it's eyes to distract it. It breathed fired and set some of the tree tops on fire and these giant snake-like creatures fell dead to the ground below.  The creature then walked through a purple/black portal just like the one that brought the colony to this world.   Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.Comments and Feedback are always welcome.~Michael  E-mail us at Podcast@TheRpgAcademyFollow us on twitter @TheRpgAcademyVisit our Facebook PageJoin our new Google+ Community page: The Rpg AcademyBecome a backer: Patreon.com/TheRpgAcademy and get episodes early and other great rewardsJoin our new

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/DTep37.mp3 Hello and welcome to Dungeon Talk, the General Advice and Discussion podcast from DnD Academy. I am Michael and this is Dungeon Talk Episode 37: Combat, the Angry way! Pt 2. EDIT: Hello, so i screwed up - shocker, I know! and uploaded a segment for the last podcast and not the entire file. I've corrected it. I did it fast though, so it is less 'edited' than usual (might notice a few more Uhm's and a few longer pauses). I also didn't add the intro, so it just starts.  SORRY!! This is the second of our two part episode where Caleb and I discuss combat with (in)famous TheAngryDM.  I've bookended this longer combat discussion with some shorter topics Caleb and I had covered separately so in this episode you start with the second half our our EPIC combat discussion with Angry (combat N-Z)  and then Caleb and I discus a Table Topic from a recent FAE Game (Spoiler alert, the things we discuss happen in a FAE: DEADLANDS Game that hasn't been released yet) and focus on making decisions that make the game better and not using things like alignment to justify being a dick! If you don't already, you should be following the AngryDM on twitter and please check out his blog where many of the topics we discuss on this podcast Angry has written about (at length).

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ANWep6.mp3 Hello and welcome to the campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from DnD Academy. This is A New World: Episode 6: The Tursharktopis Conclusion In our last episode, the PC's were present as the Nobles, led by Jacean Winters, began to interrogate Valius, the Beardless Dwarf stowaway, as to his connection to the fire that broke out in the Holds. During the interrogation a cry of alarm was raised and the PC's, along with Valius, went to fight off the first real sign of life on this world, a creature that could only be described as a Tursharktopis. We ended our last episode mid-battle. We pick up this week in that same spot with the PC's trying to kill or run-off this highly resistant creature. Once that is concluded, there are some great RP moments (in my opinion) and we end with . . . well, let's just wait and listen, shall we? Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ANWep5.mp3 Hello and welcome to the campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from DnD Academy. This is A New World: Episode 5:  It's a What? In our last episode, the PC's continued to examine the holds in an effort to find out what caused the fire. They found evidence that an Alchemical Substance called FLASH may have been used to ignite the fire in multiple locations. Sandra an NPC that Rob's Character Durrand had spent some time with during the trip out to the portal was asked to help the investigation. She explained that if the aim was to ignite the NITRO then it would have been much easier. The PC's now think the fire was just a distraction, but don't know by whom or for what purpose. They also found Valius, a Beardless Dwarf (Niko's PC) Under a stasis spell hidden inside a barrel. The Nobel's Mavin and Gunther believe him to be the arsonist and he being questioned as we begin this episode. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ANWep4.mp3 Hello and welcome to the campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from DnD Academy. This is A New World: Episode 4:  Investigating the Holds In our last episode, the PC's used some creative uses of spells and a fortuitous tidal wave to get their scuttled ship into ground.  However, this is not the world they left.  They have set up camp at the edge of the great sea and a vast primeval forest made up of trees 600 feet tall.  The small beach they are on ground is the footprint of a beast larger than anything they could have imagined. In this Episode the PC's continue to investigate the fire in the holds, bringing in a an expert and finding their first suspect. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/DTe34.mp3 Hello and welcome to Dungeon Talk, the General Advice and Discussion podcast from DnD Academy. I am Michael and this is Dungeon Talk Episode 34: A Podcast 3-Way  Caleb and I recorded a version of this podcast a few weeks ago but when I got around to editing it, the sound was horrible.  We decided, rather than just have me over-edit it, and try to make it work, we would just re-record it. Then, we worked it out so Porter (@Rzrstrm) was able to join us so we didn't just rehash the same conversation. This is the first part of a longer session, Episode 35 will be out next week with the rest of our 3-way conversation. In this Episode we start off by talking about Inspiration. Where can you cull ideas for encounters, games, adventures or whole campaigns. We then move on to a session of Synergy where Caleb and I run through a pack of MTG Core 2014 cards and each come up with a campaign idea from those cards. Porter didn't get the cards early enough to come up with his own but at the end he throws out a little something-something on the fly. Here are the cards we used and I'm including my initial thoughts from each card to compare to what I thought and how I ended up using them. We'd love it if you would send us the campaign idea you would have come up with using those same cards. We take a divergent tangent off of Synergy and talk a little about Social Combat or Skill challenges from DnD 4e. Next we discuss starting levels for new games / Campaigns and I take another Tangent to discuss the game i've always wanted to run. This sparks Porter to talk about a setting he read about of the Aftermath of the Ragnarok. http://atomicovermind.com/main/games/ Lastly we finish up with me apologizing to Olaf for taking so damn long to get around to reviewing Whitehack. Still haven't reviewed it, but I wanted to let him know I hadn't forgotten about him. A secret has been stolen Something crashes or has crashed (maybe the location of that thing is what was divined?) A monster to overcome or the pet of an NPC? Winged horse, or magical ability to fly? (I didn't end up using this at all) A temporary animal companion. Something fights for the PC's A curse is causing people to lose their senses (touch, taste, hear, etc .) The big bad guy is a traitor The death of an NPC brings something to light A cursed magic item causes magic users spells to fizzle - have to get it removed The curse is tied to a Vampire Lord? A hero of legend is reborn. maybe an Actual Angel is involved? Divison between two nations - Vampire/Angel? PC's have to fight an Ice Hydra on the wall of frost. Acolyte of angel religion, can turn undead/vampires. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

This is A New World: Episode 3: Butt Cheeks In our last episode, the PC's managed to put out a suspicious fire that had started in the holds of their ship.  Evan's character Blaine is the only one that knows (As far as they know) that another ship exploded. They suspect an arsonist is on board, but their most pressing concern is getting their ship safety aground. The ship is without a sail or a mast and the acidic waters of this ocean are slowing dissolving the ship. Can they find safety before it all falls apart? Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.
