Episode Summary In this action-packed and delightfully chaotic episode, the RPGBOT hosts kick things off with a thrilling unboxing moment from Hero Forge, revealing a spectacularly 3D-printed D20 die. Naturally, this leads to a deep dive into the wonders of forced movement in tabletop RPGs. Whether it's pushing, pulling, or just shoving characters into awkward situations, the hosts dissect every angle of this often-overlooked mechanic with their signature blend of humor and expertise. The discussion takes some wild detours, including tragicomic battles with printers, a debate on the best and worst jobs (spoiler: San Diego weathermen have it easy), and a flurry of pop culture references and questionable impressions. But fear not, the conversation steers back on track with an in-depth analysis of how forced movement mechanics have evolved in Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder 2, and Tales of the Valiant. From grappling tactics to spell-versus-martial balance, the crew explores the intricate dance of battlefield control and the ever-present struggle between player creativity and game mechanics. Ultimately, the hosts leave no stone unturned, questioning the effectiveness of push mechanics, analyzing historical shifts from 2014 to 2024, and debating the fine art of battlefield manipulation. Along the way, they uncover the power of tactical play, uncover absurd yet effective spell interactions, and ensure that no D&D rulebook remains unscathed in their quest for ultimate RPG enlightenment. Key Takeaways Disney Whispers: Technically not forced movement, but we won't tell if you don't. What Counts as Forced Movement? If something is physically moving you against your will, it's probably forced. Bull Rush: The football tackle of RPG mechanics. Dungeon Crasher: The best way to turn your Fighter into a wrecking ball. The Meta of Pushing: If pushing mechanics don't become meta, what are we even doing here? Push 'Em Away! Keep enemies out of melee range with strategic shoving. Every Class Has a Move: If you look closely, every class has at least one forced movement option. Battlefield Control = Power: If you can control positioning, you control the fight. 2014 vs. 2024 Meta: Not much has changed, but we're still talking about it. AOE Spells Still Reign Supreme: Sometimes, the best way to move enemies is to make them disappear. Martials vs. Casters: Who controls the battlefield better? Let the debates rage on. Tales of the Valiant's Shove Mechanics: Adds some risk-reward spice to the push game. Pull Weapons in Tales of the Valiant: Because yanking enemies into danger is just as fun as pushing them away. Pathfinder 2 Loves Forced Movement: More mechanics, more options, more fun. Grappling in Pathfinder 2: It's a full-time job, requiring constant upkeep. Pathfinder 2's Organization Woes: Finding the right rule shouldn't be harder than fighting a dragon. Hero Points to the Rescue: Because failing a flat check is the worst. Bonus Fun Mechanics Hydraulic Push: It's a spell, it's water-powered, and it's a force movement MVP. Decanter of Endless Water Shenanigans: Turns out, infinite water is useful in a lot of unexpected ways. Grapple Like a Pro: Knowing how to grapple effectively can change the course of a fight. Weapon Traits Matter: Sometimes, the right weapon makes all the difference. Multiclassing = Brain Hurts: Every choice has trade-offs, so choose wisely. Ritual Casting for the Win: Sometimes, taking a few extra minutes pays off. Creative Combat Scenarios: Thinking outside the box leads to legendary moments. Know the Rules, Avoid the Frustration: Nothing ruins a session like rule confusion. Optimal Class Dips: The right multiclass decision can unlock powerful combos. Wizards Stay Winning: Utility and ritual casting make them indispensable. Final Thoughts From printer woes to battlefield strategy, this episode was a whirlwind of insights, laughs, and deep dives into RPG mechanics. Whether you're a die-hard rules lawyer or just here for the comedic side quests, there's something for everyone. Tune in, roll your dice, and remember—sometimes the best move is just shoving someone off a cliff.

Episode 184 Streamed Live Tuesday March 26, 2024. (R) Catch-up from the past week This past Friday 3/22/24 we live streamed Horde Wars Ultimate Campaign – much death and much miraculous recoveries. The Priest/Acolyte was, as always, One and Done! Hirelings & Henchmen- Tools of the Trade or just Tools? https://oldschoolroleplaying.com/henchmen-and-hirelings-in-dungeons-and-dragons/ Henchmen: is a better grade of hireling. While money may still be a motivating factor for them these are permanent retainers or allies for the player characters. They are sidekicks. Advantages Gives use for the hard-earned coin. Allows for PCs to feel like big shots and build up to Domain play in an organic way and at lower or the lowest character levels. Challenges Who plays these NPCs especially if there is many of them? Additional burden on the DM??? How do you stop them from becoming fodder or “trap detectors”? How do you handle these characters leveling up? How long will the follow the characters? A PC is level 5 and a henchman is level 4…does the boss-worker dynamic change? At what point would it be ok to have a BBEG convince one of the hirelings/henchmen to turn on the party? Kill them in their sleep? How do they/did they work throughout the editions? Story Mechanics in TTRPGs? Bennies, Re-rolls, Narrative Control, Hero Points, Fail Forward, Success with a Cost …others? Yes, no, maybe, always good, sometimes good , never good? How do they aid play? How do they hinder?

You asked for it! One of the Fire and Water Podcast Network's Patreon stretch goals was for us to finally pull the trigger on a live (well, live-to-tape) DC Heroes role-playing session with Network hosts and guests taking the roles of superheroes they are associated with. A long time in the making (and even longer in the asking), GameMaster Siskoid sits across from the virtual gaming table from players Shagg, Chris Franklin, Bass and David Gallaher and runs the Bwa-ha-ha JLI introductory adventure from the 2nd edition boxed set, "Exposed"! But who's playing who? For that, you have to listen! Check out the image gallery for the character sheets and more! Have a question or comment? Looking for more great content?

We dive deep into the revamped mechanics of the D6 system in this episode. We try to wrap our minds around a different approach to Hero Points, experience some the new combat rules, and also try out the chase mechanics for the first time. But by the end, the story has still moved along as our heroes are trying to confirm their theories of the impostor Capitan's scheme.

Lex & Brett return to their in-depth discussion of the Dungeon Master’s Guide. This week’s topics include hero points, honor and sanity. They might have also stumbled on a compelling alternative to alignment if you’re looking for a different way to play with morality in your D&D game. Finally, they revisit skill variants from episode 264, giving some examples of when they might be just the thing to use.
GameMasters Siskoid and David Gallaher discuss the 1986 DC Heroes adventure module Dream Machine, by Mark Acres, starring the one and only Joker. Can the New Teen Titans or Your Own Heroes defeat him and their worst nightmares? It's an unusual adventure we think can be adapted for a variety of games. Check it out. (The Hero Points Podcast is in no way affiliated with the upcoming Joker movie, but we're opportunists.) Have a question or comment? Looking for more great content?

Before we get started, I want to talk about something you’ll notice as you listen to this episode. We’ve made the switch to a new gaming system, Pathfinder 2nd Edition. Throughout the 20+ years I’ve run games, I’ve switched between a number of gaming systems. For a long time, the World Walkers Universe was played using the first edition of Pathfinder. Now, with the release of this new version, I’ve made the decision to switch things up again. Honestly, I think from a listener standpoint, you’re not going to hear much difference. It still uses the same dice, a lot of the same words, and we’re still playing the same stories, characters and worlds. So! If this part isn’t very interesting, skip ahead till you hear the theme song, and you’re just about to the the latest episode! Go ahead. It’s fine. I promise I won’t be offended! For anyone else that wants to hear a bit more about what’s changed, let me break it down. The big difference is that you’ll hear the players doing more during combat, because players get three actions for each turn, instead of the usual move and action D&D has. Besides that, you’ll hear some new names for Saving Throws. In Pathfinder, there are 3 Saving Throws, which players use when they’re in real danger, like fighting off the effects of poison, falling off a cliff, or driving a psychic force out of their mind. Fortitude is for physical stuff, Reflex is for dodging things, and Will is for charms and mind-control effects. Also, each player starts with a Hero Point each game. They can cash these in reroll similar to Inspiration in D&D. Not only that, if they’re dying, they can use all of their Hero Points to save their life! They gain more for performing acts of heroism, but points don’t carry over from game to game. The players have redesigned their characters as well, and we’ll be sharing their character info as well! The biggest changes probably came for Shannon’s character Tristana. She plays a Summoner, a class I wrote for D&D. While I was at GenCon I was able to talk to the developers of Pathfinder, and using their guidance, I built a new Summoner class for Pathfinder 2nd Edition. Huge thanks to the Paizo staff for their time and insight. In the end, I think moving to Pathfinder will make for a better experience for both the game and for all of you. I’ve read the book cover-to-cover and I think it’s going to make for better combat, adventures, and most importantly, better experiences for all of us. EPISODE DESCRIPTION In our last episode, Leila convinced the group to go to sleep, hoping that it would take them out of the Nightmares and into the Dreaming City of Mercurious. One by one, each of the others trusted her, begrudgingly or not, and drifted off into a deep sleep. Outside of a building. Out in the open. In a twisted dreamscape where nightmares have been seen absorbing bodies and carrying them off. SO. Let’s see what happens in Season 4 Episode 20 - It’s Never Fine.

It's finally here: BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, and we've assembled the entire FIRE AND WATER PODCAST NETWORK to talk about it! Listen to Shag, Rob, Chris & Cindy, Ryan, and Siskoid discuss about what they liked, didn't like, and what's next for the DCU movie universe! DISCLAIMER: BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE has become the most polarizing thing in popular culture outside of a political stump speech. Some of us at the FIRE AND WATER PODCAST NETWORK hated the film, some enjoyed it, and some had mixed feelings; but we all got together to review the film as our first ever Network All-Star Special. We hope you listen to and enjoy our review episode, even if you disagree with our opinions. Even if you *strongly* disagree with our opinions. Even if our opinions on BATMAN V SUPERMAN make your blood boil and your teeth ache. Like we said, polarizing. If your feelings about the movie are so strong that you'll hear no dissenting opinions, maybe you shouldn't listen to this episode. There are plenty of other quality podcasts on the FIRE AND WATER PODCAST NETWORK (and also HERO POINTS). If you do listen to the show, we would love to hear from you! Share your feedback on the episode and on the movie in general, but please keep your comments respectful. Seriously, don't be a bigger dick than Ryan is during this episode. Thank you!
