Episode 135 - Open the Kimono

[Mike]

Mike gets a question from a new listener and spends a half hour explaining what roleplaying games are. Thanks Irish Fan. Then a few little topics and observations to clear the list, and it's time for the Pod-O-Matic. This week, Mike and Aidan answer five listener-submitted queries including an FMK on Norse gods, a would-you-rather on losing body parts, co-op vs. adversarial games, Redwall, and the spice Melange. Mix in some Listener Betrayal, and you've got yourself an episode. Come sit by the fire with me, and we'll chat.

Enjoy!

D-RAM-IT! That 'SILENCE' gets me every time!

Karma?

[Mike]

Especially if you just listened to the Angry Geeks right before it. Theirs was a little quiet, so I had the volume cranked all the way up.

[TheMaster]

that is exactly what happened

If you're new to roleplaying, here's a couple of good places to start.

by S. John Ross. Very simple, very clever. And free.

If you want the D&D experience, try --it's a stripped down version. It's also written to make it easier for newcomers. It's much longer than Risus, but also free. As is a huge amount of other stuff for BFRP.

I thought Mike was going to bone me on what toys he likes. And then he comes through!

Also, I may well send your son some MLP.
