Show Recaps

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

Mastering Dungeons – Running Intro Adventures Part 2
Shawn and Teos list out every single possible option for everything a new DM could run… kidding! That would mean an episode that was 4 years long! They do offer advice as to where to start looking and some options as to how to go about narrowing the nearly infinite options to what appeals to you and your players!

They’re a Super Geek #5 – Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall pt. 1
Banana Chan (she/they) joins hosts Jeremy (they/them), Kristin (she/her) and Mariam (they/them) as they play Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall—an RPG about a Chinese family running a restaurant in one of America’s Chinatowns, circa 1920. They face threats of racism by day and jiangshi (hopping vampires) by night. Content warnings: the supernatural, murder, ritualistic sacrifices, cults, racism from the police, annoying gangs, and lots of lizards.

Bonus Experience 04×10 – Build a Better One-Shot
In today’s episode we discuss the art of the one-shot, including: games that are suited for short play, how to MAKE a game suited for short play, and how one gets ideas for short games anyway.  All this and more in the extended cut.

Gnomecast #123 – A Gnome and a Kobold Walk into a Podcast
Jared is joined by special guest Meagan Maricle of Kobold Press to discuss Meagan’s work in RPGs and various Kobold Press projects, including Tome of Heroes for 5E on Kickstarter now!

Misdirected Mark #444 – Guest Stars
Phil, Bob, and Jerry discuss adding a new temporary player to an ongoing campaign and share tips both for running the game and playing in it. Aftershow and preproduction show notes available for Patreon supporters!
