Podcasts about Dwarven Forge

Ready to dive into the world of crowdfunding with a twist? In Episode 216 of Crowdfunding Nerds, Sean and Andrew, unravel the mysteries of Gamefound's new advertising platform, AdFound. Could this be the game-changer creators have been waiting for, or is it just another player in the crowdfunding arena?  We dissect AdFound's competitive edge—offering a mere 5% fee on conversions compared to BackerKit's 15%—but is cheaper always better? We also tackle the crucial question of data ownership and the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on centralized systems like Gamefound. Join us as we compare Gamefound's claims of being the top dog in board game crowdfunding against Kickstarter, and explore the real stories of creators like Dwarven Forge and The Dice Tower. Can smaller creators thrive on Gamefound, or do they risk losing their magic touch? Tune in to find out and discover why maintaining your own marketing infrastructure is more vital than ever!    Links to check out: AdFound Update - https://gamefound.com/en/blog/post/adfound-marketing-revolution Dice Tower 2024 Results - https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/tomvasel/support-the-dice-tower-2024/#chart-daily Dice Tower 2025 - https://gamefound.com/en/projects/dice-tower/the-dice-tower-gamefound-2025 Dwarven Forge Gamefound - https://gamefound.com/en/creators/dwarven-forge Dwarven Forge Kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/dwarvenforge/created Check out our website at crowdfundingnerds.com and join our bustling community on Facebook.   Stay Nerdy!

From Peter – Tabletop terrain. I’m not sure if you gents have tackled this topic yet. Referring to maps, Dwarven Forge, 3D printing, Hirst Arts and so on. I’m currently creating 3D terrain using Hirst Arts molds. Extremely slow process but very stunning. So…. How do we deal with terrain in our games? Random Encounter...

When danger is all around you it is easy to rely on past successes and charge into the unknown. Surely, since you have faced gods and survived, this next peril will be tough but manageable. Surely, we will be able to solve any problem thrown our way. Surely, any foe we face should be more afraid of us than we are of them. But that is not always the case, unfortunately.

The Dwarven Forge concept is directly inspired by [NPC Cast's Campaign Crucibles](https://npccast.wordpress.com/tag/campaign-crucible/). Aviv is on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Icel), [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/IcelDotMe/) and [Vanor Games](http://vanorgames.com/). ### The Three Elements (1:23) Aviv: Invasion Eran: A lucky wheel spin Dassi: Inter-generational conflict ### Themes (2:03) Aviv: A foreign foe, completely beyond our understanding. Eran: We spin the item again and again, to get one of several available outcomes. Dassi: An older generation is stuck in their ways while the new generation try to bring about change. ### What Are the Players Doing? (5:10) [Torg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torg), [Previous dwarven forge](https://dwarves.podiant.co/e/35bb4716dadefc/) Eran: We're the next generation after the original invasion, when the old guard managed to save our world. We're teenagers that do not understand this technologies and the whole situation. Aviv: We're using a reversed engineered technology that we can't fully control, and so it send us to one of a number of random dimensions. The old guard made a deal with the invaders. Dassi: We've found a creature that is important to the balance between dimensions. It's unique. The structure of the universe based around six dimensions and this creature subvert this basis. [XCOM 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XCOM_2), [Stranger Things](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_Things), [Sliders](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliders) ### People (14:08) Aviv: Evelyn Sharp - Head of a division that look for unauthorized inter-dimensional elements that crossed over to our Earth. The division is part of the Accords, the original agreement that “saved” our world. Dassi: Hubert Harington the 3rd - British politician that is anti-invader, purist. Eran: “Above Bermingham” - An invader, a “leviathan”, a creature 3 km wide, floating above Bermingham. Not sure if it is a person of vehicle. He's in contact with various people, including the group. All the leviathans are “above” things, from Dimension Purple. ### Places (21:28) Aviv: A lab located at the site of the “burst” from Dimension Blue, where giant tendrils came from the sky and borrowed into the earth. In Herefordshire. Eran: The shed in Dimension Yellow, the place we're translocated to when we travel to this dimension. An old, abandoned building, in an area that looks “eastern european” with strange wilderness. Dassi: BII: Bureau of Invasion Investigation, in Portsmite, the site of the “burst” in the Themes, out of which came out a huge red hand, and Dimension Red understands our language. ### Adventure Hooks (26:03) Aviv: Something from the other side activated the translocator and drown us in. We don't know where we are and we need to escape. Eran: We approach the monks in Dimension Purple which start to question us and our motivations. A psychology-based adventure. Dassi: A crazy fanatic from Hubert Harington's group got his hands on a translocator and tries to “purify” Dimension Red, and we try to stop them. ### Who Would We Play (30:50) Aviv: Alex Spencer - a boy with career type parents that reads a lot of books and write about the adventures of the group as if they were fictional stories. 13 yo. Eran: Andrea - a girl with self image problems and martial training, the daughter of a military general that wanted a boy. Her mother went insane as a side-effect of the dimensional invasion. Dassi: Curt - a small time drug dealer and burglary, 17 yo. Tried to break into XX's garage when we were tinkering with the translocator. A bastard child of one of the purists and his a domestic worker. ### Game System (37:26) Aviv: [Tales from the Loop](http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/210617/Tales-from-the-Loop-RPG-Rulebook). Eran: [City of Mist](http://www.driv

In the Dwarven Forge we combine three secret elements into a single, coherent game.

The one and only Stefan Pokorny talks about D&D and Dwarven Forge! Stefan is super enthusiastic about the RPG hobby (to put it mildly

The Dwarven Forge concept is directly inspired by [NPC Cast's Campaign Crucibles](https://npccast.wordpress.com/tag/campaign-crucible/ "Link: https://npccast.wordpress.com/tag/campaign-crucible/"). Our previous forges, [in Hebrew](http://www.dwarves.org.il/tag/campaign-crucible), include: * Masterwork, a secret conflict in medieval times between guilds such as The Bakers, The Weavers and others, using the magical means of their craft; * It is Good to Die For Our Country, a horrific reimagining of the first few Aliyahs to Palestine, in which the dead were re-tooled to keep working for the Yishuv; * Skies of Loot, a Borderlands-like campaign in a barren world and tons of guns; * Binary Interference, the 20th century but with robots who are trying to be more human; * Teddy, Save Me, in which your toys come to life to combat the nightmares that come in the night; * and others. **2:45 The three elements** Uri: Secret government organizations Aviv: “Empire” - [Assassin's Creed: Origins](https://assassinscreed.ubisoft.com/game/en-gb/home/); [Europa Universalis IV](http://www.paradoxplaza.com/europa-universalis-iv/EUEU04GSK-MASTER.html); [Crash Course World History](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBDA2E52FB1EF80C9); Eran: Guns **4:40 Themes** Uri: secrecy, double life, outside of the public sphere but operating within it, hidden from public view. [Vampire the Masquerade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire:_The_Masquerade); [The Masquerade trope](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Masquerade). Aviv: military expansion, multicultural, an overarching government organization. Eran: availability of guns, the great equalizer. **8:35 What are the players doing?** We are agents saving the populace of Mars from the underground aliens. [Tyranny](https://www.tyrannygame.com/) [Cowboy Bebop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_Bebop) [X-COM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-COM) **15:15 People** Uri: Old one eye Track - the unofficial judge of a mining community. Aviv: Amanda Jackson - a conspiracy theory, believes in aliens. Eran: Xan-Yah - major captain-general of the province. Apparently, [all Asians know martial arts](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllAsiansKnowMartialArts). **21:50 Places** Uri: old mine, Tritium. Aviv: The Colossus - terrace pyramid that looks to be artificial but is actually a bunch of rocks and sand… or is it? The Face on Mars, [in Cydonia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydonia_(region_of_Mars)). Eran: Olympus Mons, seat of power, space elevator. **27:00 Adventure Hooks** Uri: find Mit the lost kid that was lost, maybe kidnapped by the aliens. Aviv: a mining pod landed. People want it, the empire wants it as well. The empire will get what it wants. Eran: an old enemy and his posse want to gun us down. We need to handle an alien artefact/First Settler technology while escaping them. **33:50 Who would we play** Uri: Chuckless - a big burly man with a big burly guy. Aviv: Karim - Earth born, a duster (a scavenger). A spiritual man, on a pilgrimage. Eran: Colin - An Elsi, into history and archaeology. A peoples person. **39:00 Gaming system** Uri: [Shadowrun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowrun)? No, [Starfinder](https://paizo.com/starfinder/)?

Craig has bought enough Dwarven Forge terrain to cover his basement. Russ corners him in Dunk's and asks why he needs so much and how does he make use of it.

"Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?" ... "Of course."It's the Etiquette Episode of ExemplaryDM Podcast! It's a bit of a spiritual successor and followup to the beloved Player Penetration episode from Season 2, Episode 7. This is also an extension from our Player Tip of the podcast from Season 3, Episode 6, Part Two.In this podcast we open to discussion good and bad manners for DM's and players at the table, with some great ideas on how to improve and smooth out behavior at your gaming table. We briefly discussed such behavior in our previous podcast's Player Tip of the Podcast, but found so much more content, we decided to dedicate an entire episode to it.First, a trio of emails to cover:"Effusive praise from Michael, monster design"... from AndyDo we fudge monster stats? Yes. Do we try to make it fun? Yes. Fast paced, dynamic combat is what most players tend to prefer. Higher damage, lower HP.Remember that combat is not just about monsters, but about environment, hazards, terrain, and plot.How tactically smart are your monsters supposed to be? Low intelligence creatures shouldn't necessarily be tactical warfare geniuses. You as the DM know better than to provoke that opportunity attack, but your monsters don't.A Michael Sponsored Email from Michael of Michaelton to be read in a British accent Podcast.Foreshadowing to the gadgets...Exemplary Local Game Stores recommendations from Erns.A reminder that we mostly play D&D4e, but we try not to be system-specific, and we're big proponents of adding rules to your game that seem to be lacking, especially the ones we come up with. In conclusion, if you're not having fun playing D&D, it isn't the rules system. Hey-oooo!When sharing this podcast, please remember our regular Player Tip of the Podcast: don't be a dick. Seriously. Take it EZ on the Pass Aggro if given the opportunity.Discussion Points for D&D Table Etiquette:The first rule of table etiquette for players: “Be ready”When in combat, when it is your turn, be ready to go.Umbrella term for the rest of these.BRING YOUR SHIT TO THE TABLE Dice and UP-TO-DATE character sheet. James, William's Pathfinder DM: I personally get very frustrated with people showing up to the game with a "Give me everything I need so that you can entertain me" Wastes so much time and really is just the wrong attitude for players to have. As a DM, make that known.Note  about tangents: http://skarr.obsidianportal.com/wikis/house-rules this puts the whole table in charge of being responsible for a productive night, removing the DM vs players for attention span relationship. Everyone is responsible for keeping us on track, not just the DM. A sense of ownership makes people care.James: For me the biggest issue is being ready when your initiative comes around.  I really dislike having to rouse someone from their phone because its their turn and they go "Okay, what's going on?" Or Twitter, Flappy Birds, FriendFace, etc. For me, if you are at the table, you should be paying attention.  Have the courtesy to bow out temporarily if you need, but when you are there, be present.Especially if you're in a healing/buff mode in combat.Should the DM keep track of PC hit points?Veteran player on new player relationships - There is also a very fine line between suggesting good options to newer players, and browbeating them to perform the actions to set up your character in combat for example. It is very easy to be misunderstood there, as a veteran player. As a DM, you do want that veteran, experienced ally at the table, but be aware of his or her interactions with n00bs, because it is a reflection on you as the DM. Make sure your veteran players are using the phrase "one possible action" "you may want to consider" or not “the only smart move is to do this” or “you'd be an idiot not to…”. Make sure you or your veteran players are explaining why something would be good, but without “mansplaining” it or belittling new players. Just to emphasize that it is their decision... empower themThis is also very relevant for the DM to player relationship. Don't be an overbearing or judgmental DM. Avoid the sarcastic "really." Make sure you're being kind, keep the choice in their hands. Be patient, and be more patient to someone who is trying, as opposed to caring.Body odor. If you're going to have the hygiene of an old west prostitute, Give it a whore's bath or a spritz of lemon water before stepping back out into the saloon between tricks. Seriously though, you will be sitting next to multiple other humans for a few hours, don't be nose deaf.It is a very difficult conversation to have with a friend to tell them that they reekIf for example you came to D&D right after performing analingus on an asparagus farmer, use some mouthwash first. Some foods and drinks are not table-friendly, some are.No messy BBQ. No corn nuts. No easily tippable cups. But also, keep in mind that if you're planning on cooking during the early phase of a D&D session, that you are careful not to use blenders, slapchops, pressure cookers, food processors, deep fryers, espresso machines, live animals, or anything else that would be loud and fool the DM into thinking that you're not listening to his carefully prepared environment descriptions. Smoothies are delicious, but not for making during D&D.Be aware of dietary restrictions, whether they be choices or allergies.Good Southern table etiquette things like slurping, gulping, chewing with mouth open... Be aware of the noises you create while masticating.As the host, make sure you have shit taken care of, get a sitter: a dog sitter, cat sitter, toddlersitter, grandma sitter, little brother/sister sitter, bird sitter, whatever it is that is co-habitating with your house that is determined to be a dick during your campaign. Good etiquette to meet each player as they enter, never been a fan of the "we're in the basement, just let yourself in", which is rather creepy and also the plot intro to several pornographic films. Greeting people at the door is a proper way to be like the guys on Cheers.Again, the #1 rule of D&D etiquette - be ready. Get your shit together, as a DM or Player.Gadgets of This Very Night  Podcast:Encounter: Game within a game: Legend of Legaia, Chronotrigger and every JRPG.  Caravan from Fallout: New Vegas. Poker in FarCry 3. BioShock pipefitting minigame. Horrible Mass Effect minigames. Quidditch in Harry Potter. Used occasionally, or maybe just once. Bond played Baccarat. Then, make the PCs do something else while playing. A great way to make the players feel like the characters do in a tense encounter.Character Concept: Gizmo the Warforged (robot) Artificer, a battle-scarred robot who creates gadgets and seeks to avoid melee combat.Tee Shirt: Jesus Saves… http://www.redbubble.com/people/jd22/works/1726425-jesus-saves-dnd and a million other placesAdventure Hook: Focus on the plot impetus of the Encounter of the Podcast, for example: a side quest to talk to someone, who never would talk to a stranger… unless it was at the game-within-the-gaming table. A mission to coolly infiltrate and blend into the game environment and make contact with someone, rat out someone, seduce someone, or convince someone that a rumor is true or isn't true. "It's only true... if you beat me at this game..." Your campaign world does not have to include a casino in order to get players to play games. Magical Item of the Podcast: Ebony Fly - practical, but giant horrifying transportation. Specifically from some D&D source material, but useful when you want to force the PC's to choose between beneficial logistics and horrifying the normals. They have to use it stealthy, discretely and infrequently, lest they be associated with it. Like the floating space poop in Star Trek IV. Nobody wanted to be associated with it.Player Tip:  Don't be a dick … and you can avoid dickitude by… listening to this podcast. Use it to open up a dialogue and potentially start the conversation on player etiquette at your table, including but not limited to, a very passive aggressive to point someone's behavioral flaws at the table. Just Kidding of course, don't be passive aggressive.DM Tip: Top 11 Game AIDS as per request from listener Michael F.Status markers - W: signature flags, C: bottle top rings, also: magnetic basesTurn keepers - W: notecards for initiative, C: dry eraseDM Screen (for cheating!)  Personalize this with landscape images of your terrain currently, etc. Camera (for interrupted sessions) Overland mapNPC names listNPC profiles list Micro - That night's session notes, including notes from previous sessions. Who is carrying what? Who said what?Macro - Keep overarching plot points up to date in a reference doc somewhere, so you can keep track of important details.Project Blocks (from your local hobby store) foam bricks for making structures. W posted a build thread for something and have posted pics in the past of large, light, easy to build structures. As far as terrain goes, there are many options and probably another podcast's worth, but the idea would be to try and use different ones as much as possible. Dwarven Forge dungeon sets, official D&D terrain things (for example the Underdark 3D set of stalagmites), handmade trees and shrubs (thanks Meg!), wet/dry erase markers on a battlemat.Food, for focus, attention occupation and energy. Mike n Ikes, especially. BONUS: A podcast to give you gadgets and ideas to help break your writer's block or give you inspiration for new twis ts and turns etc. Like this one?Big Thanks for music, once again big thanks to the Diablo String Orchestra, The Kobolds, our listener Chuck for the intro to the gadgets of the podcast jam, and mega-fan Joshua Bentley for voice-overs galore (@voiceofthebigjb).Right-click and Save-As below, or us the RSS feed built into this page.Mirror 1 (128kbps) (Oregon US) (83.9mb)Mirror 2 (128kbps) (Atlanta US) (83.9mb)Check us out on iTunes and give us some reviews and/or ratings and/or hurtful criticism!What do you think?Welcome all our new listeners to the family of ExemplaryDM!
