Siskoid has finally bowed down to public pressure and produced an episode about Dungeons & Dragons. But it's too big a topic, so he and his guests, fellow DungeonMasters Fred Melanson and Jonathan Schaefer-Hames, are drilling down into the specifics of D&D's default setting - the Forgotten Realms! What's so great about this world and why has it become THE choice of sword & sorcery adventuring? Plus, GameMaster advice and your feedback from our previous episode. Let's Roll... NOW ON ITS OWN FEED!

GURPS again? Yes, well, it's quite versatile. And with GURPS Black Ops/Warehouse 23, Men in Black as if directed by John Woo, we certainly tested its limits on the cinematic side of things. Players Chalif and Fred discuss their experience with GameMaster Siskoid on this short, but high-octane campaign. Then, Siskoid talks about creating diceless moments for players in out GM Advice column.
