Bonus Experience 05×03-BXP Talks D&D 4e (feat. David Castro)
Rai was ill during our usual recording time, so we brought in a friend to help! In today’s episode, Monica is joined by David Castro of Ink Stained Studios to talk D&D 4e: the good parts, the bad parts, its history, and its impact on current design. We’re very pro-4e, in case you’re wondering where we come down on the subject. If you’re looking for hate, this one ain’t it. Also discussed in the extended cut: Hot tips for using trash as play aids, the true origins of “video game” powers, opinions about high-math rules and the nature of Monica’s dice magic.
Panda’s Talking Games 273 — Nothing But A Good Time (Substance Expectations at the Table)
CONTENT WARNING: discussion of alcohol and adult substances with mentions of substance abuse.
Show us how you deal with adult substances at your table! Phil and Senda talk about table behavior expectations, and some ideas about how to make sure they’re aligned to hopefully avoid or resolve any issues. A strong note, although we said it in the episode as well: we can only speak from personal experience on this one, not professional expertise — and always, always, if you are not safe in a situation, please get out if you can instead of trying to implement a fix.
Bamboo Lounge available for Patreon supporters!
