Episode 131 Streamed Live Tuesday March 21, 2023 Main Topic: 10 games You can and Should Play if you don't want no stink'in D&D! Randy's List: (will populate asap) Joe's List: Hyperborea Shadowrun Dungeons and Delvers Stars Without Number Mutants and Masterminds Chronicles of Aeres Rifts Earthdawn Scarlet Heroes Castles and Crusades We briefly discuss each one listing its merits and sometimes a flaw or two. Joe's list has many he hasn't played yet, but is committed to playing them each over the coming year. The purpose is to highlight the vast array of games available that haven't the baggage of WOTC and have some support or extended game lines. Also these games have online communities or fan bases that can answer question or just provide a new group of friends.We had such a great response from live chat that we kicked our next segment to next week: To Be Continued: Alignment in roleplaying games Random Geek-itude Call Ins and Emails: Joe finally resolved his sound sharing issue and we listened to John of the Red Dice Diaries podcast ask us what we think of the newest version of Hyperborea. Its in our list of games to recommend, so there is that. Shameless Plug Time: If you would like to support our show, please like, subscribe, and share us where you are listening or viewing the show.

We used Dungeons by Central Casting to inspire the creation of a dungeon (Thanks to Ryan David @nerdcognito and Max @legion of myth for the suggestion) From both player and DM perspective, what makes for a good dungeon?

Past dungeon experience: successes/failures Mapping the dungeon - details or broad strokes Flavor text: more or less? How do they fit in the campaign world? Using Central Casting: Dungeon - not sure it's my cup of tea Random Geek-itude Call Ins - One from John at Red Dice Diaries re: Hyperborea RPG (tech fail) Joe's Birthday he is 56 … the old geezer!
