EDU Podcast - Conspiracy X, Bigfoot?

EDU Podcast - Conspiracy X, Bigfoot?

In today’s episode, I decided to pull out another gaming system that is under utilized call conspiracy X by Eden Studios. It’s a D 10 Base system. Think of this system as playing an X-Files or a men in Black role-play game.

Its game I've played a few times and I thought about running it with agents chasing after Bigfoot.

EDU Podcast - Talking D6 World of Aden Fantasy Setting

Hey there, in today's episode, we're shaking things up a bit! I'm super excited to announce that we're rebranding the podcast to 'The Evil Dungeon Master Universe Podcast'.

Big shout out to you, Batman-Tim, you rock!

But that's not all we've got lined up for you today. We've also got a question from another listener, Stephanie R. She's curious about something that doesn't get a lot of airtime - an underplayed fantasy setting. So, buckle up as we dive into that. Stay tuned, folks!

GMless RPGs are......stupid?

GMless RPGs are......stupid?

Talking about a topic that annoys the crap out of me, GMless RPGs and how they make zero sense to me and I am not sure why all these people are pushing games with no GMs. There needs to be someone who is the referee or the judge of a game to make sure people stay in line, follow the rules and someone needs to control the NPCs and monsters. Otherwise its a narrative storytelling game, so pass around the stick and have at it.
