A Dark and Stormy Night!

At last! Now that the players have come together and the characters are built, it’s time for our first campaign session!

I apologize for the intermittent sound glitches, they shouldn’t be too bad. Lyn Hill, Jason Tondro, Theron Bretz, and Rick Jones play while James Dawsey GMs.

Avengers Revisited!

Spoilers again! Sorry, gang, but The Avengers is just too big an event for one podcast about supers gaming! Tonight I’m joined by Cam Banks and Jack Norris to talk about Marvel Heroic Roleplaying and how you can relate to the film in terms of gaming. We spend time discussing Milestones, unlockables, resources, and the difference between “Talky” scenes and “Transition” scenes. I hope you enjoy it! As always, feel free to comment on the show and let us know what you think!

Avengers Re-Assembled!

SPOILER ALERT! Tonight, James Dawsey is joined by Mutants and Masterminds creator Steve Kenson and Pop-Culture Evil Mastermind Professor Christopher McGlothlin! Tonight we discuss in detail the Avengers film, and how Game Masters and Players can relate to various scenes from it in terms of a Mutants and Masterminds game. Watch carefully for the Sanford and Son cameo. ;)

Thanks for tuning in! Let me know what you think in the comments section… and as always, Stay Vigilant!
