Mouse Guard Actual Play Session 1
I distinctly remember sending out an email to Dan, CJ, Brandon, and Jen a bit before Christmas that after reading the Luke Crane and David Peterson’s Mouse Guard PDF, we needed to bump it into the schedule as soon as possible. “As soon as possible” ended up being May, but we were no less eager to delve into the world of David Peterson’s seminal comic. This first session covers character creation, a fairly brisk and entertaining process.

This is very cool. You all do such a great job with your AP and interviews. You showcase games so well, and sound like you have a real good time while doing so. And your post game reviews/discussions are very good too.
I noticed there is some audio problems starting about 1:13:50 and continuing on through the remainder of the podcast. It is like snip-its from the opening half hour are spliced in. It happen in mid sentence and what not. It got really distracting.
Just wanted to point it out.
keep up thegreat work
Brilliant with the slicing. Now I shall be able to listen without that pesky ear-bleeding effect produced by longer ‘casts! Bravo! ^_^
Guys, the penis jokes during 3:16 and the repetitive anal rape jokes during MG chargen are really not funny (to me). Being loud and obnoxious about not caring that you’re being recorded isn’t funny either. I’m close to unsubscribing this cast because the sophomoric humor is annoying.
This makes me sad because I like the games you’re playing and I want to hear your AP, but the table chatter is just a bit much for me.
I just bought the rules myself, and I’m looking forward to running this. I really appreciate you making the effort to record this- it’s incredibly helpful to those of us trying to muddle through the rules. As to the above comment about the rank humor, I feel like we’re eavesdropping your play table. As an eavesdropper, I’m not going to make demands on what you guys have going on in your play sessions.
There are too few people showcasing games in this way. If I was recording my group’s game sessions and people on the internet were offended by it, I think I would just stop recording rather than ask my game group to behave differently.
So please keep recording, don’t worry about your table chatter, and please please please record your first play session; I can’t wait to hear how the rules work during play.
Looking forward to the actual play of the Actual Play for Mouseguard. I bought the rules within a week of getting the graphic novel – can’t wait to hear how it plays.
About the remarks from Rich (above) I do not think you should edit the chat – regardless of what is said – it is all part of the play. I agree with Echowing- “If I was recording my group’s game sessions and people on the internet were offended by it, I think I would just stop recording rather than ask my game group to behave differently.” Just don’t stop recording.
Love the show, I can’t stop listening to the 3:16 AP (I bought the game after listening to the first instalment – can’t wait to play it).
Keep up the good work chaps & chapesses.
[…] Walking Eye Mouse Guard Actual Play Session 1 – Manual download worked beautifully. I’m happy to presume that last time was merely a ZiePod […]
The rape and penis jokes are hilarious, if you don’t like them listen to something else, this is a bunch of friends in a room having fun, not the super bowl half time show.
Political correctness has to stop
Keep penis jokes cumming!
