This week on UnderDiscussion Hooligan, Kat and Slacker join WDR and myself to talk about Gaming Paraphernalia, all the extra stuff that can improve gaming. We talk about minatures (taking the time to pimp Reaper), tokens, standees, battle maps (like Gaming Paper), cardstock terrain (like Fat Dragon), the D&D 4e terrain, Paizo Gamemastery stuff, the basics like pencils and paper, Digital stuff like character builders (Hero Lab is a good example) or digital character sheets on a laptop or tablet, the Sultan Gaming Table, and the ultimate piece of gaming paraphernalia: the custom gaming cave! We also give a shout out to Obsidian Portal and Perram’s Spellbook. This episode clocks in at just over 42 minutes.

Sep 122011

On this week’s exciting episode of UnderDiscussion WDR and I are joined by Hooligan, Slacker, Nockergeek, Hida Man, and new guest Jolly Rodgers for a discussion of the d20 system. What d20 is (and what it isn’t), Pathfinder (long time listeners will of course be shocked at that), D&D through the ages (Basic, Advanced, 4e, Gamma World), and the various offshoot games (like Mutants & Masterminds). We also learn that I (8one6) apparently cannot pronounce granularity.

This one clocks in at one hour and forty-three minutes.

This episode clocks in at around 43 minutes.

UnderDiscussion 42: Mistakes, We've Made a Few More

UnderDiscussion 4 Responses »

May 162011

In this week’s episode the Undergophers follow up the previous episode recounting the mistakes in their sordid careers as roleplayers with another batch of stories sure to entertain you and embarrass us. We recorded this one a few hours after episode 35 (there was another Gamma World actual play recorded in-between, but as I’ve mentioned in the past that is part of the strategic podcast reserve) and this episode clocks in at just over 38 minutes long.

Feel free to share your own tales of gaming shame in the comments.
