Join Mick and I as we continue our chat from last week. Mick asks all the pressing questions to look behind the curtains. Did you want to know what would happen if Oraqi returned to Dabu? Are you curious about why the Tosculi incursions? What did Kalen see while being a captive? What of Elbrim’s leaf? Will Callidus ever find his slave Daryl? Will Akmenos know peace? For answers to these questions and more ... listen!This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about who is the Princess Karima, will Elbrim get lucky, and what are the similarities between the princess and a Pierson's puppeteer (Ringworld, Larry Niven reference)?

Finally let’s find out what’s inside Callidus’ box, what was the deal with his Vril Stone, and why is Sil murdering pixies? Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about players that find enjoyment, and take time from busy lives, for a good story where they can be the heroes. Did you ever wonder how much more time there’d for RPG if there was no school, job, family?!?! Eep! Does this mean to be a kickass player you can’t be a student, can’t have a family, nor a job? What should be done with players that like to do the talking versus those that don’t? Nope, not gonna say the word “engage”! How does a group achieve the comradery of CriticalRole, or the joviality of Acquisitions Incorporated? Is it done by weaving real world experiences into story arcs? Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about streaming a campaign with twitch and what should a viewer see? Having a production engineer to take care of audio levels and viewer content while streaming. Players that take on the role of NPC store owners to switch up and have fun with immersion from another point of view. How Fantasy Grounds extensions like Dulux Oz’s Sounds can add to the immersion by introducing more drama or humour. The nature of RPG is changing and that is because of great peoples like, to name a few: Critical Role, Maze Arcana, Dice Camera Action, Encounter Roleplay, Digital Dungeon Master, and Dragon Friends. Finally we chat about various models of revenue for VTTs. Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about companions that have gone off the deep end, and what you must do to keep everyone safe? What is the smart thing to do with a familiar? What to do with players that like to introduce roleplay that throws and tests the GM’s ability to ad-lib. Handling cut scenes for players during shopping downtime, when players venture off on their own for their own mysterious reasons. Promoting interactive player roleplaying and not just player-to-GM roleplay. Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about when do pieces of information change from valueless to valuable? The GM scatters clues and the players find none, the puzzle remains. Then comes the ah-ha moment, when a player grasps a larger picture. Are there merits to post-session conversations with no GM? Is there beauty behind anonymous discourse? Can the phrase “no offense” remove culpability? What new tools has Fantasy Grounds introduced to remove creature meta? Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about why players enjoy trying to mess up the GM? If the players go out on a bender, is that the right time for a GM to introduce the NPC that will rob the players blind? How do you get players to loosen up and start haggling with the NPCs? What can happen when the players are allowed to roll against each other? What will a GM need to do if the players want to make wealth by creating and running a bank in a world of money lenders? Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat again about seeding a plot point ages ago and finally seeing it bear fruit IRL months later, and then using that reveal moment to tie in another character’s backstory. What should the Grey Company feel when the build up for the Pallid Court visit had been months in the making, to finally meet a powerful NPC, maybe an ally, and ... she’s not there! Instead new NPCs, and one that sounds strikingly similar to a well known pop-culture villain. What are the rules for breaking an attunement? The consequences of player decisions; going left instead of going right? Should the GM use NPCs to remind characters how magics work? When to have downtime when 11 months pass IRL and only 2 weeks within the game? Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about whether a GM should retcon a scene when they make a mistake? Will healing potions keep a person from getting drunk? If there are 5 players in a party, then doesn’t that mean there are 5 sets of eyes searching a room, and so nothing will remain hidden? Will the players realise that the most valuable loot in the hideout are the barrels of salt? How does one answer the question “How did they fit those barrels through the manholes”? Mick starts to see how the pieces of the puzzle assemble together and lead back to ... do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we continue our review of the overall narrative since we started the Embers from a Chimney campaign. We take a look at how the main plot has developed, as the individual characters flush out their own personal stories. What, how, why has SS entered Per-Bastet? How does a wizard convert a water breathing spell to sand breathing? When a new player joins the campaign, do you hand them 100 pages of player notes to get them up-to-speed? Should a campaign do periodic OOC player reviews, to foster more plot connections that might get lost due to IRL time.This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

It was a stand-up comedy course, and a dare from a mate, that got Mick Meredith started in comedy. One moment a Sydney muso playing bass, the next Mick was a successful stand-up comedian, and soon after striking it big with a regular spot on Nine Network's The Footy Show.   In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast you'll learn how Mick went from open mics to TV, life on the high sea as a cruise comedian, and the benefits of mixing comedy income streams.

Join Mick and I as we review the overall narrative since we started the Embers from a Chimney campaign. We take a look at how the main plot has developed, as the individual characters flush out their own personal stories. The one bit of non-story conversation is about how critically important it is to take notes, take notes, take notes; which is very evident while we do this review.This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about using a dagger to cut a bowstring. What happens when an invisible wizard gets smoked with an arrow, does the arrow disappear? Does the blood appear? Hey I’m invisible, they can’t hear me ... not! Should melee attacks with a swinging weapon be at disadvantage in a narrow passage? What is the wingspan of your tiefling? Should that span be on the character sheet, and if it's not, it defaults to wee tiny Puff the Magic Dragon size? A secret Dogs of Bastet sewer hideout must have treasure ... right? What will the Grey Company find? Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about lessons learned from swimming through sewage water, what checks should be done for sight, and to keep from vomiting. Can you have a sewer session without a giant crocodiles fight? Fantasy Grounds Unity release and its dynamic lighting can’t arrive soon enough so that this GM doesn’t have to remember rules around dim light, dark, darkvision, blindsight, etc. When you shoot an invisible wizard with an arrow, should the arrow turn invisible, or remain visible? The Grey Company enters the secret hideout and the alarms sound, should the NPCs have reactions? Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about accents, new players, first time at D&D, starting at level 1 to learn the Fantasy Grounds interface, stealing “good stuff” RP elements and making them your own, to better your own role play. How quickly, immersive role playing can make a three hour session fly by, and nothing is accomplished. “Fly-By” ... a Crimson Nib Flying Carpet is just what every would-be, serious, adventuring group needs! The Grey Company is seeking their missing benefactor, should they break and enter the home of a known criminal, that likes to murder and eat the ex-lovers of their benefactor? Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about an interesting role playing scenario when the Grey Company decides to make a quick stop at the house of Hakaan. Elbrim and Callidus are keen to B&E the house, and maybe find Daryl. Whereas the new party members have no idea what the older 2 members are about. Elbrim and Callidus’ uncomfort was palpable as they are barraged with questions. Cold-blooded murder and slavery! The GM loves every moment listening to such unexpected and delightful role playing gems! Mick spins many theories in this episode as he tries to connect the dots between a multitude of NPCs, while I listen closely and gather ammunition to alter the plot and make things more … convoluted! Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about the voyage back to the city of Per-Bastet with the evidence from the Pool of Blood, and visions that cause Elbrim’s heart to ache. Now that the party has reached level 5, how do they prioritise their next move? Notes, usually just from the last session, don’t often look at the big picture, so what’s a good decision? How can listening to CriticalRole provide insight on keeping track of the plot? How do NPC motivations guide their emotional reactions when player’s say “excuse me, we need to have a private conversation, go away!”? Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about GM’s using player theories to craft and mold the campaign ... wait ... is that legal, can you do that? How does one integrate a seamless skill challenge to replace travel, and not be deemed trivial? What should a GM do when the player’s wanna hire more players to do their dirty work? How can a famous show like Critical Role guide and help keep the group dynamic together when there is conflict and dice rolls against each other? And of course, whatever has the Grey Company decided to do with this Pool of Blood? Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about trapdoors; do you check for traps when there’s no rogue in the party? How old players take for granted that all backstory lore is known and the new players must act accordingly; whereas the new players are like WTF mate, why the hell are we gonna do that?! What IC secrets should you reveal, and how do you role play it, when the GM whispers information in your ear? Does IRL culture affect role playing, and should IC boundaries be softened when an obvious story element is introduced? These questions and more as the Grey Company decides whether or not to enter the trapdoor’s hole. Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we conclude our Pool of Blood encounter chat with Mick’s concoctions of plot hypothesis’; that the flying Tosculi was actually the shepherd boy Cade, that the Nebr mayor killed Cade for learning about the secret pool of blood, or that Cade was actually 1 of “The 12” ... Killing Eve anyone? Perhaps everything is tied to an overthrow of the government and there’s a secret alliance with the Corporation of the Tosculi?! The GM takes notes madly and wonders how to implement such far-fetched ideas! The icing on the cake? Is when Mick tries to envision how Callidus can have a “happy slave” named Daryl! Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about blindsiding players to come up with meaningful tidbits for their character’s backstory. Is backstory important? What should an intelligent creature do when firing from a large distance? How bad tactics can easily turn the tide of a battle. Effective storytelling for travel in a campaign; West Marches style versus interactive narrative skill challenges (thanks for the advice Matt Colville!). What are good consequences if the party fails their travel skill challenge? Mick sneaks in a mention for the Royal Wedding! What should happen when a Paladin doesn’t follow their oaths?

Is it wise to share a room in the local Inn, or get your own? What’s the right amount of Dwarven Stiffmace whiskey to drink? When your comrade asks a question about your history, should you tell them, or remain tight-lipped and hold those precious memories close? That first night out in the desert with just a backpack, the temperature drops to 0C, your freezing cold, what’s the correct course of action? Buckle down, continue on and complete the mission! Or call it and return to civilization to resupply? A strange buzzing noise on the other side of the ridge, your destination is so very close, but that sound, you know it.

Join Mick and I as we chat about exploring from the deck of a sandship and experiencing the soaring and freezing temperatures of the Sarklan Desert! How the Grey Company convinces the captain, against her better judgement, to make haste and sail through the night; and how such persuasions can result in giant scorpions attacking the ship. What questions should you ask the strange Nkosi that just saved your bacon from a TPK? Should you believe gossip and rumours when your party is named? Do you start connecting the dots and map out a conservative governing regime that is on the verge of collapse as one of the governing members undermines the Council of Sands authority? Thank virtual tabletops, where players can’t see the GM’s facial expressions, as he falls off his chair in shock at such conclusions. Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about getting scolded in public by a daywalker for reneging on a promise. The Grey Company makes haste to get underway and begin their sandship voyage. They move quickly and are scolded once again by a harbour master that is shocked at adventurers without backpacks! Kalen’s hands are slapped for not having proper travel papers, nor Southlands Identification papers! In the moment between breaths, a dire sending stone call is received. The Princess Karima has not checked in. Enter the ethical quandry that is the Trolley Problem! What direction will the Grey Company take? Board the sandship and fulfill their promise to the Pallid Court, or renege once more and search for Elbrim’s, hoped for, sweety pie? Do you wanna know more?This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about taking a moment to recover from a battle within the tomb’s inner chamber, only to discover that your new potential companion, has been cursed. Should the Grey Company abandon this fellow? I mean, they don’t really know him! What of Rakim and Nakwa? Will they finally put their clothes on? Outside the pyramid Lugo and Hazi are arguing, but they quickly shore up the conversation and the GFA greet the wayward ambassadors for the Pallid Court.

Lockpicking the ancient, massive, golden doors, that surely lead into the mummies lair, without a rogue! Clumsily knocking over and breaking a priceless urn relic, and discovering that it wasn’t just placed for the room’s Feng Shui; accident or DM helping the players move along? Introduce a new PC, mysteriously found within a pyramid, and they escape the 3rd degree because they are wearing Crimson Nib armour!This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Join Mick and I as we chat about, the Pyramid of Cobal and the untold dangers that lurk within! The Grey Company boards the Pallid Court’s sandship and plots the course to the Pool of Blood; but they don’t go far before Elbrim pays Captain Bonita to make a pitstop at the ruins of Anu Asir. Horrible skill checks find aid and advantage from the Pallid Court’s ship, and the Grey Company finds entrance into the ruins pyramid. Once inside the oppressive atmosphere weighs heavy on the company, stifling sound, dampening moods, and finding surprise around every corner. Within they find creepy crawlies, monsters, traps, and astonishing discoveries. Do you wanna know more?
