Check out the latest episode, 3.5, for our discussion about World Building and Morality / Ethos / Religion
This project has been long in development and we’re finally ready to go forward with it. Have a listen to Episode 0. What we are doing, essentially, is creating a gaming podcast designed for absolute newbies and non-gamers to use to learn more about the art and fun of roleplaying games of all kinds.
We’ll be covering indie RPGs, the old classics, and all kinds of play styles.
We’ll have sections having to do with how to be a beginning game referee, how to choose a game that is right for you, and many other things you’ll want to think about if you’ve never played a RPG.

I had the opportunity and the privilege to do the podcast for “After Serenity” as part of the “Shaken Not Stirred” event. I’m going to put this podcast out on “The Bear’s Grove” feed as it does pertain to adult-level discussion of roleplaying as a storytelling art in the Serenity / Firefly ‘verse
