Hey everyone! Terribly sorry for the uh.... unexpected hiatus, but we are back!   Mostly... well we are 100% back but doing a more casual thing for the moment, just because of the whole... situation going on.  ANYWAYS, we are going to do periodic updates, which are less focused on a particular thing, but more just whatever comes up.  Here's a hint, it will almost always be gaming-themed ;) Please enjoy the first episode of the Social Isolation series :D <3 Banjo Attribution: Music from https://filmmusic.io "As I Figure" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

It's game night, everyone is still trying to settle in, some are growing restless.  Why not kick things off with a light warm-up?  Well Bezier Games got you covered.  The One Night series of games has simple rules, can be finished in about 20 minutes, and with the use of the apps, requires no moderator!  With a variety of options, such as Werewolf, Vampire, Aliens, and Supervillains, something is bound to be popular.  These are great for family game night (we'd give it a PG-13), or for roleplaying groups that are improv-heavy.  Grab one, or two and have a few laughs :) Bezier Games Homepage https://beziergames.com/ One Night Werewolf Online App http://onenightwerewolf.com/ Attribution: Music from https://filmmusic.io "As I Figure" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Sick and tired of campaigns that take FOREVER?  Bored with your current game?  Are you looking for something NEW, and EXCITING!?  Well have we got good news for you!  Iiiiiiiits ONE SHOTS!  The perfect solution for any gamer that is looking to try something else, but doesn't want to get bogged down with long-term contracts.

Unlike what you may be thinking.  This episode is actually about twentieth anniversaries.  Specifically the one for the World of Darkness 20th Anniversary edition books.  Raspathir, and Banjo spend a good bit of time reviewing the books, the contents, as well as providing a lot of commentary on the World of Darkness as a whole.  They.... mostly kept on topic this time ;) Attribution: Music from https://filmmusic.io "As I Figure" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Raspathir regales us with the continuing story of Silas the artistically-inclined monk.  Just as in many Dungeons & Dragons games questionable decisions are made, monsters are slain, and injuries are inflicted.  Once in a while, things get more serious.  Attribution: Music from https://filmmusic.io "As I Figure" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

After a long a long, and unexpected break.  Raspathir, and Banjo are finally behind the microphones once again.  This time they're taking it a little easier, but they do manage to have a short discussion about a card-based roleplaying game called Weave.

After a BRIEF recap of Keyforge, Raspathir, and Banjo have a lovely chat about character creation as it pertains to the roleplaying hobby.  This is not an episode about how to fill out a sheet though.  This is more about how to create a -character-.

Keyforge is a collectable deck game that hopes to solve many of the issues that Magic: The Gathering(tm), and similar games have.  Designed by Richard Garfield (of M:TG, and RoboRally fame), this game focuses on creating balance while giving players a fulfilling deck battling experience.  Many of the concepts in this game will be familiar to CCG players but there are enough important differences to make it unique.

This episode was a long-time coming, and we have finally cracked.  With so many tabletop RPG titles out there one would think that it would be fairly easy to find folks that wanted to play something other than "Popular Fantasy RPG(tm)".  But no.  At least not in our experiences.  So far most folks want to play that fantasy RPG that they see everywhere, and may not even be aware that other genres of gaming exist.

It has been several weeks since the last update on Raspathir's D&D game so here it is!  If you haven't guessed by the title.  Things went horribly wrong.  We almost got away with it too, but the players just -had- to ruin that...
