The Evil Dungeon Master Universe

#detective #Noir #RPG On today's podcast, I discuss my solo roleplaying game I had this weekend, using the Cinematic Unisystem rules, and playing a detective in the 1930. I used the Mythic One Page emulator, along with the 1920s and 1930s random tables for names and inspiration. It was a good time and the cinematic unisystem just gets easier over time to use for games.

#AOD #AVE #EvilDead On today's podcast, I decided to answer an FB Message asking me about one of my solo gaming experiences from Jessica. So I decide to talk about a game that was fresh in my mind that I just started, Ash vs Evil Dead solo game, using the Army of Darkness Rules.

On Today's Podcast, I decided to chat about the DC Universe Roleplaying Game. Its a game that wasn't well received by fans using the West End Games "d6 Legends" system. The game had a lot of work put into it as far as giving fans supplements and ideas, but the game was lacking a lot with its mechanics.

#Underground #MayfairRPG #RPG Underground is a satirical "grim and gritty"-style superhero role playing game set in the near future.

#Usedbooks #DMTips In today's episode, I discuss buying used books from the store and finding a hidden gem, like a map, or a creature, or an entire dungeon. Its joy to find these things inside the book as it makes you think about what you could do it with it!

Listen in as I tell you how this can be done...

The question is about designing missions and what advice do I have about making the missions interesting.

On today's podcast, I decided to take a look at the limited wish spell, breaking it down and giving my interpretation of the spell, how it could be used and how it should not be used. Of course just like anything in any game, the opinion is subjective to the reader's interpretation, and in this case its mine. Maybe you'll rule things differently and that's where the voicemail, emai...

Which is superior, which...

#dungeonsanddragons #druidspells #dnd In this episode I shine the spotlight on an often-overlooked spell called, Goodberry. Join me as I look at it from AD&D, and how its evolved through out the editions of D&D. Its a very versatile spell and it should be in every Druid's list of spells.
