Contact the Paladins of Podcast The paladins of the podcast tackle the Marvel Multiverse Roleplaying game Playtest handbook. As Rob and Potato breeze through some of the quickest chapters and a longer peer into some of the powers and abilities, we think this game is a general mainstay for the newer super hero genre of role playing games. The kicker is that we're not really on the same page as...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Wizards of the Coast purchased D&D Beyond, Paizo partnered with the Foundry VTT, and we try to cover a bit of it without trying to get sidetracked, but if you know us you know it's impossible! We did fall into our typical organized chaos this episode, but its a fun ride through some great announcements if you missed it.  --- Support this podcast: https://po...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Today's episode is a little different than normal, because our very own podcast paladin, Potato, got to welcome his second child into the world earlier this week.

Contact the Paladins of Podcast In todays episode, Potato blows Rob away with content! ?He's got a full on story he found through YouTube or Reddit plus a great monster spotlight that is exactly what alien nightmares are made from.

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob and Potato are talking about some awesome stuff! We talk about some game settings that we want to develop, and have started to lay the foundation for but ultimately it seems like we want to leave it up to you about which one we go for first. Cyberpunk or dark modern fantasy. Very awesome! Don't forget to hear Potato talk about some carpet for his new place,...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob and Potato bring back the conversation about cheating, and how we personally deal with it because it really seems like so many people feel they need to micromanage the games as a DM, and don't allow players the ability time to adjust to the social culture of the party. We also touch a bit on some of the politically correct and inclusive culture and how it i...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob and Potato talk about one of Rob's character ideas in depth about a chaotic good cleric who's all for healing everyone! Good guys, bad guys, party members, and more so long as they submit to their deities. While it's a difficult idea to pursue, we talk about how it has to be acceptable by the party because such a build will be complex and difficul...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob and Potato take it back to an old CBR blog post about some alternative uses for spells that are actually completely legal.

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Potato was pretty excited to talk about Modiphius Entertainment's Dune TTRPG, which does sound awesome despite Rob's carpenter jokes when he mentions how you build your houses (which is still funny by the way). As move through the landscape of political role playing, we actually got hung up when talking about The One Ring, and it just couldn't be save...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob and Potato talk about some horrible expectations from players and dungeon masters alike, when we read a few horror stories that really raise the bar on what we should do or how we should act during our game times. But you know what! When you're a player, you shouldn't chastise your dungeon master for not doing enough, when they're pouring their fr...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob and Potato finally have a chance to look closely into Blades in the Dark and Lamentations of the Flame Princess. While LotFP is a call back to the more gruesome and hard core mode of 2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons with really wicked artwork, It's Blades in the Dark that has captured our attention with a Grand Theft Auto heist style adventure setu...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast For the first time in Epic Table Games Audio Show history, Rob and Potato had to do everything remotely thanks to coming down with this *new* omicron variant of Covid19. While it was interesting we're sure there are some audio hiccups along the way as we talk a lot about some of the coolest sounding TTRPG's that Rob has found recently as well as discuss th...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Today Rob and Potato bring out some of the worst offending horror stories they found this week and there are some really big doozies!

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob and Potato are tackling the new year in the same style and with last years format. We had to pull an episode from the backlog as you may notice, and it goes back to when Potato had to miss a day. But don't worry! We have you covered! We looked to reddit to grab some of our topics, and figure out some of what we should talk about and once again we really don...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast What a year it's been so far! And with so many Epic Table Games Years to come, we decided to celebrate with one of our most.. boring episodes to date! It wasn't intentional, but Potato crafted an amazing character build for pathfinder 1e and while he didn't mean to drone on level through level, that's what he did. If you're a real trooper, a...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Let's face it, some of us play our fantasy games in the most absurd and hardcore ways. Others play it fast and loose. But what kind of players buy mundane, every day, regular items? Rob and Potato talk about some of the ridiculous items that never seem to come up in actual play but are there for purchase anyway. Like soap. But the problem is, if the items are m...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob and Potato learned that some people end their games at certain levels, forcing their stories to cap off at that exact moment. What is wrong with you!? Rob power levels his players until their ungodly and unruly. Potato does the same thing. In fact, why would you decide to end the game at a certain level? WHY WOULD YOU END AT A CERTAIN LEVEL!? But the guy who sai...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast We've known there are more than two players in the realms of Table Top Role Playing Games, and when all you think of is WoTC and Paizo, it means you have to think outside of the box. Rob and Potato take a look at some of the games out there that are really interesting, such as The Expanse by GreenRonin Publishing (the same guys who do Mutants and Masterminds),...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast With the holiday season being truly kicked off, Thanksgiving brings with us a lot of fun things to talk about. We try to stay focused on some neat topics, but true to our usual form we get highly distracted and attempt to come up with some stupid gifts you might find at your local *ahem* certain gag gift and adult themed store.. Yeah, it is what it is and it was fun...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast If you don't know what the XP valley is, Rob and Potato jump right in and talk about what exactly it is and how it effects your favorite table top role playing games. It appears to be the cause of your favorite sessions running into straight grinds, it's the reason so many players turn into murder hobos, and it seems to be one reason most games are played...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Potato brought in an article that asked how the real world could get along with the mechanics of the religious afterlife from our favorite TTRPG's. As we navigate the intricacies, with a few jokes and  some real consideration we actually flipped our decision in the end. Check out how we decided to handle such a weighted conversation when it comes to the in&apos...

Contact the Paladins of Podcast What's up everyone! Potato couldn't make it in today because of a lot of things that happened all at once. Don't worry though, it sounds like things are going to be back on the up and up in no time, and we're expecting him back next week.
