Podcasts about d next playtest

Over recent weeks, there have been a few people in the Anchorite OSR community talking about the current edition of Dungeons & Dragons. As someone who got involved playing the Fifth Edition right from the days of the D&D Next Playtest, I feel it's high-time we gave the game some serious consideration. This episode I want to ask: What's wrong with 5e? Why not just play the world's most popular roleplaying game?Useful links:D&D5e Basic Rules: dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrulesShow Contact Details:Roleplay Rescue Quicklink: rpgrescue.comEmail Me: hello@rpgrescue.comMeWe Page: mewe.com/page/5c077833bce33a3fe7dd7f04 (or search "Roleplay Rescue")Facebook Page: facebook.com/roleplayrescue/ (or search "Roleplay Rescue")Patreon: patreon.com/rpgrescue Hosted on Acast.

This Episode: D&D Next, Mechanical Short Comings, Etymology Lessons, Norman Rockwell Tim and Chrispy sit down to take a more critical look at the second to last D&D playtest pack from last December. They also talk a bit about some of their personal projects and talk a bit about a new favorite game: Cards Against Humanity. This Episode Also Known As: The Trochee-Filled Misadventures of Tim Jenkins   A Quick Note: This episode gets slightly more vulgar than previous episodes. If you tend to listen with children around and don't want to expose them to vulgar language/themes, you might want to not listen to this one while they're around.

In this episode, host Mike Robels sits down with Mike Mearls, Jeremy Crawford, and Rodney Thompson to discuss the news surrounding the latest D&D Next playtest, including this packet's barbarian. Plus, what to look forward to in future packets - and a debate on the greatest barbarian of all time!

Hello All, Here is Episode 4 of our D&D Next Playtest campaign. This was an interesting episode to go back and listen too and edit.  By this point we had been playing for several hours and despite the fact that we were having a lot of fun with the game, I can tell people were getting tired. Side conversations kept popping up and we were getting easily distracted. I edited out as much of that as I could, which may cause for some strange, choppy cuts. There are a few things I wanted to comment on, about the game, though. *************SPOILERS*************** I suggest listening to the podcast before you read this!!*********************** 1. This was originaly designed to be a one-shot. As such, I gave each of the Pc's some secrets that related to other PC's or NPCs that might cause conflict. As the game progressed I tried to get these to start to come out and kept pushing the action as new thing after new thing kept happening. 2. There were *A LOT* of notes being passed from the Players to me. Mostly because of those secrets. I tried to cut out a lot of the dead air that these notes created, but from an in-game persepective they were very effective and helping keep the game moving, just not good for listening. 3. One of Yomi's secrets is that he had hired Stannis to get the drugs that he never paid for. Yomi is a Rexan Addict and wanted to keep it from the other PC's (you may recall that Yomi was trying to be insistent that he could handle the Stannis situation - now you know why!) 4. Yomi's other secret is that he is also sleeping with Grexi's girlfriend Alishia.  Niko as a player knew this, but supposedly Grexil does not (Actually though, Grexil does know. One of his secrets is that he is actually working for a rival gang: The Silent Sisters and Alishia is his contact. To keep up his 'too dumb to worry about status' Alisha and he worked out an arrangement where she slept with Yomi to make him look clueless). 5. As I've mentioned before: no matter how much planning you do, the Players will always do something you don't expect. I never would have guessed that the Players would have decided to open the box of Rexan they had picked up. I guess as a DM I was trying to push the action as the game drew long - the Players were doing the same. 6. A lot of notes were being passed during that scene, because both Grexil and Yomi were taking baggies of drugs without letting anyone one else notice - this casued some confusion in and out of game later - but was awesome! 7. The Shaugin encounter was supposed to be the second fight of the session, but because the Players decided to avoid it, I allowed them too. I wanted another fight just to try out the mechanic's but the character's actions were so much more fitting I thought it worked out best (Yomi especially!) 8. My biggest mistake in this session was glossing over the Shaugin attack. Again, trying to push the action I wanted to get to the Princesses murder - which was one of the key-stone events. I wanted to make that such a big-deal  by making the Shaugin attack so minor in comparison, but listening back the Players didn't see it that way and I should have handled it better (if I knew we were going to keep playing I would have waited a few 'days' before that murder happened. 9. At several points during this episode there was some weird ambient noise. Sounded like we were moving the microphones a lot. I did my best to cut it out, but there are times when the conversation couldn't be skipped. Sorry about that!!   I hope you continue to listen. We have one episode left from the original one-shot sessions and then we continue the game in our regular bi-weekly sessions. The group is still having a blast with the game and many of the secrets are being revealed and keeping the players on their toes. I have a couple big-reveals coming up with Gradon, Zaine's handler that will hopefully propel the game into new territory.   As always, thanks for listening and comments and feedback are always we...
