Show Recaps

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

Mastering Dungeons – Starting Strong Part 1
The Masters of Dungeons take a look at the opening adventures (or adventure setups) of the hardcover adventures from Wizards of the Coast, breaking down what’s good, what could use some polishing, and how to use the content best in your campaign.

They’re a Super Geek #6 – Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall pt. 2
In this episode, 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.

Gnomecast #124 – Memorable Encounter Locations
Join Ang, Chuck, and Tomas for a discussion about memorable in-game locations: where to find them, how to use them, and some of their own favorites.

Misdirected Mark #446 – Session Zero (Redux)
Phil, Bob, and Jerry return to the topic of Session Zero, discussing how to best take advantage of an introductory session for your campaign. Aftershow and preproduction show notes available for Patreon supporters!
