Bards Ep110

Look out ladies.

In our quest to shine some light on the character types we play, we decided to talk about a very underused and misunderstood character class in fantasy, the bard.

Are they truly “Jacks of all trades” or are they merely under-powered when compared to the prime classes?

Gen Con Primer Ep109

Are you ready?

Is it that time again? You betcha!

Every year at this time we start gearing up for our favorite destination, Gen Con. We have been going for several years and have some insight on prepping for the trip.

If you have never been there before, or are Gen Con veterans, maybe some of our tips can help. Maybe not… but we love talking about the best four days in gaming.

Aces & Eights Ep108

This game is one of the best RPG’s ever made.

If you have listened to us for any length of time, you undoubtedly have heard us reference Aces & Eights. We were exposed to this Kenzer & Co. game a few years ago at Gen Con and it blew us away.

It is an old west genre game that is beautiful in its intricacy as well as its insanity.

We constructed characters and played out a scenario for the benefit of Shawn, Shannon and Dave who’ve only heard us talk about it but never played. This episode was recorded after that scenario was completed.
