Show Recaps

Here are summaries of new episodes from Misdirected Mark Productions this past week:

Mastering Dungeons – DnD Direct
Big news has come out of Wizards of the Coast, this past weekend, so what does it all mean? Shawn and Teos work through it and break it down as only they can. Plus: Hippo-men, space hamsters, and whatever Scro are?! Well, maybe not yet!

Misdirected Mark #471 – Culture Club
Phil, Bob, and Jerry discuss ways to create a table culture for your gaming group. Aftershow and preproduction show notes available for Patreon supporters!

Bonus Experience 05×04-DEEP DIVE: Core Systems Loop
Rai and Monica had a very chaotic two weeks and were unable to get a recording in. However, Margaret had this dusty tape under her desk and was kind enough to edit it for us. (We shudder to think about what else might be lurking under there… best not to consider it too long.)
D joins Monica for another Deep Dive! We discuss the concept of a “core system” loop, aka what central concepts make a game’s system tick. We go in-depth into the mechanics of a handful of our favorite games to demonstrate.
