#GMtips #GMAdvice #RPG On today's podcast I started off by talking about players who don't spend time to bother learning the game you are playing together and then in the latter half I decided to talk about whether you should be an adult and game with people regardless of their political beliefs, we are adults.

#Gumshoe #RPG Today on the podcast I decided to talk about the Gumshoe system and Trail of Cthulhu. It appears to be a rather simple system that focuses heavily on investigations and horror. The system is a simple d6 with modifiers to beat a target number. The system I would say is a very lite roleplaying, but can be as complex as you need it to be when playing.

#ADnD #TSR #Greyhawk The Dungeoneer's Survival Guide, a book often overlooked when playing AD&D is actually a great resource if you take the time to read it.

These are interesting rules, so I give a little advice how...

#RPG #StarshipTroopers Today on the podcast, I decided to talk about a game probably forgotten, not because its old, but because it came out during the d20 boom and its probably a game that doesn't have longevity to for gaming sessions.

#RPG #CovertingRPG Today on the podcast I wanted to ponder about the idea of converting your favorite gaming system into the game you want. I think its a fun exercise for any experienced Game Master at some point during their hobby time, to take a game they absolute enjoy, strip out the system, and try to make their own idea work. We've all probably done it a few times. Support: Humble Bundle...
