Comics Cast #20: May 2011

Posted in Comics Cast on June 23rd, 2011 by CJ

May comes in with a Free Comic Book Day, and goes out with a… massive revamp of the DC Universe? After talking about the month’s books, Dan and CJ work through their first reactions to DC’s new plan. This was recorded before the full September solicitations information was released – though I don’t know whether that would have made us more or less confused!

  • FCBD: Captain America and Thor: The Mighty Fighting Avengers
  • FCBD: Young Justice / Batman: The Brave and the Bold Super Sampler
  • FCBD: Green Lantern Special Edition
  • FCBD: The Amazing Spider-Man

GMing Discussion with Clyde

Posted in Discussions, Lady Blackbird, Non-Actual Play, RPG Only on June 12th, 2011 by Kevin Weiser

Kevin and Clyde talk over skype about their recent gaming experiences at Forge Midwest. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of Lady Blackbird, and Clyde offers Kevin some constructive criticism about his GMing style. What follows is a pretty good discussion about how to use Bangs and how to identify when you are blocking another player’s desires.

Bonus Content: Tale of the Poisonous Flying Feathered Rocket Slug

Posted in Bonus Content on June 8th, 2011 by Kevin Weiser

Usually the first fifteen or so minutes of banter and discussion are cut out of our Actual Play episodes, but this week Troll told a very amusing story about some of his experiences with the video game Dwarf Fortress. A quick note: the laughing woman is Kat, a guest we have for ICONS, since Jen’s not too big on the whole Superhero genre she stepped out for this one. Worry not, she’ll be back soon!
