Out of Character

We are treated to another visit from Boyan Radakovich. He helps us answer the challenge of providing the top ten reasons to hire a gamer for city council. Some games mentioned during today’s show include Blokus, Jungle Speed, Patrician, Mr. Jack, Apple to Apples, and Risk. Our Christmas gift talk also includes a shameless plug of Accent Your Character. If you are in the local area, stop by Hats Games to pick up a copy. You can also get them from Paizo.

Family Night has been launched. If you know someone interested in spending quality time with their family, this podcast is suited for them. Send them the link. Our local event got some coverage. Also, be sure also to remember games for your holiday shopping list.

We joined Polymancer in their discussion of running a pre-written adventure. Derek points out an example of railroading in the online comic, DM of the Rings. We also discuss the qualities of the Pathfinder modules that we have been reading. Polymancer magazine is a multi-genre magazine about roleplaying games (RPGs), miniature wargames, LARPs, and more. Articles are written so that they can be useful to gamers of all kinds, no matter which rules they prefer to use. This is done by making the articles “system-independent.” There is a complete adventure scenario in every issue. This is not an e-zine, but the real thing: an honest to goodness, printed magazine for gamers. Find out more at www.polymancerstudios.com.
