This is the corrected version of 167. The first version ran the main episode audio into the outro due to an editing mistake on my part. My apologies. -Peter We’re back with episode 2 of our alignments series, this time talking about Lawful Neutral. We start off with the story […]
This post is going up a little later in the day than usual. I got my timing goofed up with the holiday weekend and the subsequent need to move recording time to Monday. -Peter The party in my Sunday game has started to do something I’ve been wanting to do […]
We’ve been promising it for a while and here it is, the first episode in our series on alignment. We last talked about alignments as a topic waaaaaayyyy back in episode 2 of the podcast (if you listen, we’re so sorry about the audio quality), and we figured it was […]
Since I committed myself to the project here, I figured I’d check in again here. NaNoWriMo, despite not being an actual novel, is going significantly better this year than last. I fell a little bit behind on my word goal yesterday after an exceedingly busy weekend that also included some […]
#Every33!Mike Perna of Innroads Ministries, Game Store Prophets, and Bard and Bible joins us as he does every 33 episodes to talk about something he’s been itching to talk on the mics about for ages – unlikely heroes with a strong emphasis on Mike Mignola’s Hellboy. We also give a […]
Hi folks, this post comes at the end of some intense discussion on behalf of the hosts. We’ve been discussing what works, what doesn’t, how it affects our lives, and who is in charge of what here at Saving the Game and we’re simplifying and changing a few things. The […]
Today may be Halloween, but tomorrow is the start of NaNoWriMo, and I personally get more excited about that! As some of you may recall, I spent last year trying to get the setting of the “motorcycle game” into a full-on book form. I made some progress, but I ultimately […]
After several episodes with either more or less than the three main hosts, Grant, Peter, and Jenny finally get to sit down together and talk about monsters just in time for Halloween! First, though, there’s a bit of catching up to do, and a delightful question from Patreon supporter Richard […]
This past Sunday was the first proper session of the new campaign. And like any good campaign, already my PCs have done something I was not expecting. Before I get into what happened, though, I should probably introduce the PCs. Edborth is the leader of the party and the captain […]
With Grant out again for chaotic work-related reasons, Jenny and Peter are collaborating again—this time on setting material for Peter’s new D&D game! First, though, we answer a Patreon question from Douglas Underhill, who asks us “If you statted yourself as a 5E character, how would you allocate the default […]
One of the things that I’ve struggled with of late is the overwhelming number of useful tools for GMs out there. It’s a good problem to have, but it’s still a problem, because if you just dip shallowly into everything, you’re going to wind up with a mess where you […]
Professor, researcher, leading thinker in the psychology of RPGS both tabletop and LARP, and contributor to the first college textbook on RPGs Dr. Sarah Lynne Bowman joins us for a second time (we first spoke to Sarah back in episode 111) to discuss more of the psychology around RPGs. The […]
