Show Recaps

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

MMPlays 39 – Misdirection and Red Herrings
We’re touching on a topic that most people say is terrible in RPGs. The Red Herring. We get into how it should be used, when to use it, and why you might want to drop one in your game. We also have a few asides, especially one about old school gotcha monsters.

THAC0 with Advantage 31. Our Favorite Scary Monsters
Welcome to THAC0 . . . with Advantage! We’re two friends that have been playing D&D a long time. While we both love lots of other RPGs, D&D haunts our dreams, always lurking just beyond sight . . . in the shadows.

It’s all about those spooky monsters that make us feel that uncomfortable unsettling unnerving waver in the pit of our stomachs when they show up in our games. Ang and Jared talk about the scary monsters, the ones that should be scary, and why those monsters that do scare us make us feel that way.

Panda’s Talking Games 332 – Play Moar Games
Show us how you play more games! Phil and Senda….both had quite a few weeks there, but we’re happy to be on mics again, even if we kept it pretty short. This week, we talk about some ideas for getting more games to the table — a constant struggle for the polygamerous among us! If you have more ideas, let us know, because we need help with this too!
