Part 2 of our guide to making characters. We tackle story things and mechanical things to think about when making a PC and how to balance it, as well as some common pitfalls to watch out for. "Adventure Assemble!" is kinda meaty totally because we have a lot to talk about and not because we are struggling to remember things, not at all!

We get a liiiiiiiiiiiiiittle distracted with random generators and a little silly...so it's a normal show! We tackle how to handle writer's block when making game posts in our need to comprehensively and exhaustively describe every aspect of RPGs and PbPs in the most minute detail possible!

Have you ever had that experience, you know the one, where you can't think of... uh... words! For the... uh... place with other words? You know, that feeling? WRITER'S BLOCK is the topic this month, and boy did we have technical difficulties all MONTH! Hopefully, I manage to minimize their impact but please be forgiving, and be giving. The annual charity drive is happening RIGHT NOW, so if you can, donate. And if you would like a chance for a free year of CS leave us a review in itunes before the end of the drive!

My precious. My beautiful preeeeeeeeeciousssssssssss. How to properly inject things and create a living world. Another unusually on-topic discussion as we continue our exploration of worldbuilding. People are enjoying these surprisingly. Oh, and if you pay attention you will hear something in this episode that we repeat next month.

Music: Supernatural by Kevin MacLeod (license)

(1h02m56s, file size 58 MB) added 23 Nov 2020

RPG Crossing Radio Episode #36

So this one is a bit harder to nail down as it's a little more ephemeral. But I think that, as always, it is a concise and definitive look at what to include in your considerations of worldbuilding, and how to attack the project without destroying yourself. Basically, how to succeed at worldbuilding without really trying.... Ok, for real done this time.

We wrap up our review on Outplay 2020 and say a reluctant goodbye to one of our hosts. While this is the last formal episode of the month there will be a bonus one coming out later with a final set of interviews that would have been just a bit much for this episode.

This is a meaty one about round three of Outplay and with special inclusion of one of the players eliminated in round three. We gently and with all due respect and care remind them of that over and over and ask them to think hard about why they failed. All kidding aside it's a fun one!

Round 2 Outplay coverage with our special guest! KingMonkey is surprisingly quiet in this one. I think he's like a child when the parents have a new baby, he just feels left out because he is no longer the center of attention. But we have a new and improved version in our guide through Outplay 2020. The legend himself: Bhelogan! We are continuing our look at this year's competition and even hear from one of the contestants. Spoiler Alert! We will hear from another next week, and one of the winners the final week! We even have a special judge interview planned for the last week so strap in, it's a wild ride!

We begin our hard hitting deep dive into Outplay 2020! We cover the basics of the beginning of Outplay 2020 with "special" guest Bhelogan. HE was a good sport and we hope he decides to stick around a bit more. Next week, look forward to actual players from Outplay to weigh in. It was definitely planned to be next week and not this week and I just didn't get it done. I don't even know why you would ask that!

We talk multi-dice systems and alternative to dice systems. Surprisingly, we stay on topic for much of the episode. We touch on Serenity, Genesys, and the 200 word RPG contest. We also talk about the role of dice and their replacements, what makes telling the story feel right, and how it is a collaborative effort. And Scimmy finally goes too far....

Continuing our exhaustive massively in-depth study of ALL RPGs by core dice type, we cover d10/d100 systems. Using our base knowledge and doing little to no outside research we cover d10/d100 systems with our normal professionalism and laser focus. That is to say, we use the dice to talk about whatever we want and sprinkle in the occasional "this is also a dice thing." We talk skills percentages and World of Darkness and generally what sort of experience should a game provide. It's an extra long one so come join our return to podland!

RPG Crossing Radio Episode #26

We begin our explorations of various dice systems through the lens of RPGs that are popular and also we know, starting with d20 and the D&D/Pathfinder systems. Our opinions may surprise you a bit. If you've been here before, you shouldn't be surprised at how distractable we are, but the overall theme is d20 and how it affects the viability of gameplay and narrative decisions. Come along for a pretty fun ride.

We have an extra Monday in June, so kingmonkey and I watched the official Dungeons & Dragons movie for YOU! This movie... is an experience. There are good movies, there are bad movies, there are movies so bad they are good... this is none of those. This movie isn't sure what it wanted to be and the actors weren't sure what was wanted of them and so you have a wild and crazy ride of so much insanity. Thankfully you have your buddies Scimmy and kingmonkey to go through it all with you and we discover the hidden truth behind the movie! (57m07s, file size 52 MB) added 29 Jun 2020

As we always do, we like to end the month on a strong and uplifting note, so, naturally, we are talking about death. Game slowdown and death to be precise.

What's in an App... lication Thread! That is the subject of today's episode as we continue the broad strokes of running a game in play-by-post and on RPG Crossing. We continue talking about getting a game and move on to possibly the hardest part, the one that involves other people. But don't worry! You, too, can have success, if you just follow our easy steps clearly outlined in this episode with no fluff or extraneous content at all. Come with me, and you'll see: we got it all figured out!

RPG Crossing Radio Episode #16

Today we begin our series on running a game at RPG Crossing. We start at the before time, coming up with the idea and preparing for implementation. We focus a little more on play-by-post specifics, as running a game for forum posting requires very specific planning and thought, though many of the big picture concepts remain similar. Also, sorry for the audio weirdness, somehow KM's audio came through on my channel for this one but I believe we caught it before the next one was recorded. Lastly, you can contribute to our next recurring bit! Head on over to the general discussion thread to check it out now! (50m45s, file size 46 MB) added 01 Jun 2020

Have you ever not gotten into a game and wondered, "What is wrong with me? Why didn't they want me?" Well, The SimianSupreme and ScimplyAmazing have your answers this week! We wrap up this month with the hardest thing for people to handle: rejection. Now, please keep in mind we are only covering rejection as it applies to play-by-post, so seek other help for anything outside that niche, but within in it, you have the two greatest minds who ever set out to revive a podcast hosted on RPG Crossing to give you definitive and unambiguous answers. Come find out some of the common things that can mess you up, and learn ultimately that you are powerless! (38m14s, file size 35 MB) added 25 May 2020

Three-pete! It's time to make an game application and, no matter how many times kingmonkey misunderstands me, we will get to the actual point. App making is a huuuuuuuuuge topic and I for sure did not plan to cover it all in this little aside. Nope, not at all! Instead, we are touching on it and some of the main points because it was requested. We could spend an entire month at least talking about game applications and maybe we will. You won't know unless you stay tuned for more to come! And also make your voice heard on Discord or in the general discussion thread. (43m32s, file size 40 MB) added 18 May 2020
