Show Recaps

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

Bonus Experience 05×10-Games Without Randomizers feat. Chazz
Hello Bonus Babies! 
Rai had to tap out of hosting early this season, so Monica set up a lobster trap outside her house in order to catch a few new co-hosts.  The last few episodes of Season 5 will be Monica + a friend. Join our Patreon or Discord for details about the nonsense we have planned for the off-seasons!
Here’s the long-awaited new episode. Chazz of Pain in the Dice, OPPCast and Systematic Understanding of Everything joins Monica to discuss games without randomizers. No cards. No dice. No coin flips – just a variety of narrative resolutions. We break down what we like about these games and what makes them work and (most importantly) what’s worth stealing for your own homebrew.

Panda’s Talking Games 289 – Driving The Game

Bone, Stone, and Obsidian – Episode 24: June Soler and Athascon
The sands of Athas are unforgiving to those without bone, stone, or obsidian to protect their water–and their lives. In this episode, Jesse and Robert feature June Soler an actual Templar of Urik to discuss Athascon.

Gnomecast #148 – Know When to Roll’em
On this episode we’re going to talk about that GM skill of knowing when to ask for dice rolls and went to not. As the saying goes, “Y’gotta know when to roll ‘em, y’gotta know when to hold ‘em…”
