We finish our talk about making characters with talking about the people in their life and how it helps shape the story for you and the GM. For those listening to these episodes as they are released, apologies for the delay. Life just does not seem to want to let up, but hopefully we are back in the swing of things and can continue to make regular …

Baking the character into the story is a balancing act and we teach you how to walk that delicate tightrope, as well as a completely on topic discussion of how quantum leap is the perfect example of all our points. Music: Brittle Rille by Kevin MacLeod (license)Door Scimmy and kingmonkey
  continue reading
 
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! Music: Kings of Tara by Kevin MacLeod (license)…

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! NOTHING TEDIOUS ABOUT THAT! Link: December 2020 RPG Crossing Membership and Charity Drive information Music: Piece for Disaffected Piano One by Kevin MacLeod (licens…

Someone didn't think this idea all the way through, but you still get almost an hour of high-quality content out of us! GO DONATE. Also, please be patient with me, I have been working a lot and not feeling great.

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 …

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)Door Scimmy and kingmonkey
  continue reading
 
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 …

Joining us for the bonus sesh is the winner of the Shadowrun Outplay bracket, whom we will only call UF, and one of the Shadowrun Judges, Marshmallow. Their thoughts are excellent for anyone considering being part of it all next year! Enjoy! Music: Ambiment by Kevin MacLeod (license)Door Scimmy and kingmonkey

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. So listen to how Round 4 played out and then check back later this week for an interview with one of the winners and one of the judges! Music: White by Kevin MacLeod (lic…

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! Music: Evil Plan by Kevin MacLeod (license)…

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 …
  continue reading
 
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 …

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.... Music: Farting Around by Kevin MacLeod (license)…

You have all been begging for it so we did it. We covered the system you have been clamoring for and give it its full and fair due. Come hear about this important up-and-coming d6-based RPG!

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 …
  continue reading
 
We begin the month 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. Lastly, please contribute to our next…

And now the end is here... so join us to talk about how to know when to step away from a game, and how to do so in a way best for you and your fellow players. You are the most important part of this equation, but doing things the "wrong" way will ultimately leave you hurting more and feeling like you can't return so come on this journey with us and…

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3! We talk about how to handle combat posts, including some of the common pitfalls, and generally just ask you to think bigger than your moment when writing those posts. We also explore some site tools. So boom! And don't forget to fill out our Google form to contribute to the new segment coming in the fall! Please don't make …

As promised we are covering roleplay today! No, not that one, this is a PG-13 site thank you very much and we RESPECT that! We talk about site conventions, how we have done things, and what is generally expected when you make an RP-type post. From content to formatting, we have all your needs covered this week! And don't forget to fill out our goog…

Continuing with our how-to PbP series, we tackle what to do once accepted into a game and how to get started on the right foot. We also do some ins and outs with formatting and being a good player and eventually discover who the big bad of the Adventure Assemble series is. It's kooky and only getting more so as we go so join us off the rails on thi…

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 …

It's the fourth Monday of the month and we are all sunshine once more. We discover our warm and comfortable blanket answer that has almost turned into the easy button of the podcast and explore some options you can use when tackling these issues and maybe some ways to prevent them. We also take listener feedback to heart and generally treat things …

Today we tackle some of the hardest things in gaming, especially in play-by-post gaming: writer's block and group friction. As always, our answers are definitive and leave nothing to the imagination. This also might be one of the funniest episodes we have done yet, so come along for the ride and don't forget to fill out our google form to contribut…

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! Check out our ten …

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…

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 …

Application 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 t…

Last week, we talked about things to look for when finding the game for you. So, naturally, now that the perfect game is found, we have to teach you how to come up with a character to maximize your chances of getting in. Note that this is distinct from making an App which we will talk about next week. Ultimately, we for sure give exacting and detai…

We are starting with the very beginning: how to find the right game. Ultimately, there is no single right answer for everyone but we discuss our process and some of the core things to consider. Expect some real breakdowns in future episodes in May as we look at making a character, writing an app, and dealing with failure.…

And now, the end is near. Which is appropriate because we talk about the ultimate in “My Way” gaming as we cover being a GM in play by post and on the site. We cover such topics as things to consider about running a game, what tools are available, and some of the barriers you might run into. It's a very fun episode if I do say so myself, and I do, …

Scimmy and the Simian are back with more earth-shattering insights about play by post. Truly, if you aren't listening to this podcast, why are you even reading this? But by listening to this episode you will learn everything you need to know about combat in play by post. This is the definitive only way! Unless you prefer some other way, then whatev…

In the second episode of the new RPGX Radio we continue to get back to basics. We talk about what we look for in games, how to find a game that works for you, the most excellent tool available on RPG Crossing, and take credit for other people's work. We continue to assemble the adventure from the last episode as well as introduce our first Dramatic…

In the first episode of the new RPGX Radio we start at the very beginning and all discover some new stuff. Play by Post is such a different monster from table play and kingmonkey and Scimmy wanted to get us all on the same page as we explore all the facets of this hobby we have chosen. We start with a broad overview and lay out some of the things t…
