In this Episode Saul and Jolene talk about knowing the rules for a rpg game. How important is it, how necessary is it for a GM to know the all the rules? What about the players?

When you interview someone that has been around hobby gaming longer than you been alive you never know what you going to get. We did know we were going to get a wealth of information about local gaming conventions. We discover why Mark is one if not the only person that GM's Arduin at Dundracon, because of his special connection to that classic rpg. Also as the event planner for DDC, Mark also gives us an inside peek of cons that we as attendees don't usually see. Add a very frank

Another bonus interview episode this time is with Kublacon GM Mike G. He has been running games at local cons for many years and he is one GM that is not afraid to play new or different games. We learn about his early intro into rpgs and why he likes to play rpgs that are a bit off the beaten path. Mike also shares with us how his gaming con experience has changed for the better because of a different way of looking at attending gaming conventions. This interview gives great insight

In this episode Saul and Jolene talk about Shadowrun 5th Edition. Saul started running Shadowrun back in the early 1990's. He ran a campaign that lasted a couple summers. He loved the setting which was a mix of William Gibson's Neuromancer and the magical world of Tolkien. Jolene discovered Shadowrun last year at a Gaming Flea market where she encountered a few Shadowrun books and asked me if I had ever heard of it. She had bought me four or five supplements. She was enticed by the art

In this Episode Saul and Jolene talk about a "Bad GM". They discuss things you should do as a player when you have this problem in a RPG. First is identify the problem. Then get consensus with your fellow players. Then once the problem in confirmed then its time to be an adult, and have that kind of conversation. This is much more complicated issue so Saul and Jolene discuss the many different aspects of this problem. Of course Saul has to digress a couple of times to share a stories that

Matt joins us on our 2nd Pre-Kublacon interview. It is strange to think that over the last 35 years Saul and Matt had crossed paths many times but only really got to know each other by going to local game cons in Bay Area. Matt shares with Saul and Jolene quite a bit of his history and how a kid from North Dakota came to the Golden State and settled in the Bay Area. Matt is a popular GM at game conventions. Matt tells us why Kublacon is very special to him. We apologize for the wonky

Saul and Jolene discuss this useful tool to utilize when running RPGs. What it an X-Card? When should you use it? Why should you use it? Saul and Jolene talk about these topics and Saul remembers when he thought he didn't need to use such a tool because he didn't run "those" type of games. As usual Saul deviates from the topic, but there is some relevance to his meandering stories. Thanks to all the people to download and listen to our podcast from England, Canada and many states in

In this episode we decided to change things up a little and discuss a skirmish/miniature game called Gaslands by Osprey Publishing. This neat little miniature game that uses Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars uses an easy set of rules to play. The setting is a near post apocalyptic setting where deadly races are televised across the Earth. At a local game con, Dundracon, Saul played with his good friend Bay, Augustin his son and Ian with very little prep or terrain. We all had a blast. Jolene

In this Episode Saul and Jolene talk about Magic Items in your campaign. They discuss what thoughts and processes they use to come up with magical items. First decision for the GM is how much magic is in your world. Whether its a home brew world or one that you buy this first decision has a great impact on the amount of magic in your world and therefore the amount and type of magical items in that world.

Fresh from going to Dundracon, Saul and Jolene talk about one of the most influential literary works that has influenced Fantasy Role Playing Games. Middle-Earth the world created by J. R.R. Tolkien is one of the most well known worlds in the fantasy genre. Saul proposes that if it were not for The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings books that RPGs as we know them probably would not have existed or at least not in the way they are today. That is because, Saul says that Gary Gygax was

The Last but not least of the Pre-Dundracon interviews, this one is with Ezra Denney. I got to know these GM's by going to local gaming conventions. Ezra is one of the best at running games that uses a lot of improvisation, which is not an easy skill to develop. I had the pleasure of playing in one of his Paranoia games at Big Bad Con about 5 years ago and it is the best Paranoia game I have ever played in. So when I sent out a call to do the interviews, Ezra was one of the first ones to

Saul and Jolene discuss what systems are good for running mystery adventures. Saul really likes the Gumshoe line of RPGs which are specifically made for running mystery games. Also good for mystery games is the Fate Core system as it is not a combat heavy game. Jolene reminds Saul that he had run a couple mystery games using Pathfinder and 5th Edition D&D. Other subjects relating to mysteries are discussed in relation to rpgs from movies like Murder on the Orient Express and tv shows
