Sex in RPGs Ep104

Two deviously hot chicks, booze and a dagger… nope, nothing could go wrong here!

“Be fair, alright. Everyone wants Mr. Toad’s wild ride.” No truer words were ever uttered in modern culture. Being one of the greatest motivators in human history, is sex given fair treatment in RPGs?

Is it skewed because of the historical demographic of the roleplaying gamer or simply a product of the fantasy/ sci-fi tropes that inspired many of the early RPGs? Is the increase of females playing the game changing that perspective?

We weigh in with our take on it.

Epic Ep103

If you have a player who uses this picture as an inspiration for his epic level character, beware!

There is definitely an art to high level play. To some that art is masterful with a broad scope and memorable set-piece encounters. To others, it’s fecal fling art.

 

Whether you loathe it or love it, epic level play is something you should experience once in your gaming career.

Project : Ninja Panda Taco Review Ep101

Wanna take over the world with three random things? This game is for you.

If you are a fan of gaming podcasts, then you doubtless have heard of the Jennisodes and know what the significance of Project: Ninja Panda Taco is. Those who don’t know, PNPT is a game designed by the host of the Jennisodes… Jen.

 

Funded several months prior to final production through the indie game staple that is Kickstarter, PNPT has finally been completed and distributed to those who backed it.

 

We received our copy and decided to play it then give our thoughts on the game.

Editor’s Note:

We did record the full game-play session but there is a slim chance that we will release that. Mostly due to its length, but also because we are terrible people and some of the subject matter is wrong… even for us.
