This is the first episode in a new series we here at High Level Games are releasing in our actual plays. In this new series the group plays the D6 Star Wars Roleplaying Game with a new game master and different group of players than our Aether Sea actual plays.
In this episode we have an introduction to the players and characters in the game, and have the group start to form up and get ready for their first mission all while meeting with some famous rebel heroes on the planet of Hoth, about a month before the events of "The Empire Strikes Back".
This is the third episode in our "Leveling Up" podcast series, in which the hosts VP Quinn and our Blog Manager Josh discuss religion in gaming. In this episode they begin with how religion and gaming interact, as well as some history starting with the “Satanic Panic.” They then discuss how you can create and work with religion in a respectful way in your games without reducing it to a trope or just assuming that atheism is the natural order of things. Finally they talk about how to work with religious players in such a way that you are respectful of their beliefs while still allowing players to explore religion in the context of the gaming world.
This is part four of an actual play from the table that VP Quinn and Assistant to the Assistant to the Regional Manager Joel play at. The game is run by Andrew, and the players are Quinn playing a murderous goblin, Joel playing an elven plant magician, Ryan playing a human bureaucrat and Anthony playing a human diplomat and the ships captain.
This episode picks up directly after part 3, and continues the story. The crew is still being attacked by ghosts, and is struggling to agree on what to do about the Countess and her artifact the Soul Bubble, as well as her zombie servants. Below is a brief introduction to our campaign as written by our Game Master Andrew.
In episode 7 of the High Level Games podcast we begin by talking about the concept of a "geek off" as a way of playing and then move on to talking about our play through of "Greyhawk Ruins." This module was originally from AD&D and was converted to 3.5e by VP Quinn for our table.
We discuss how the play style differed from our usual games, and what we liked about the module and a few of the issues that we had with it. We also cover ways to help make this module more interesting for your group with ways to add on to the content in the published book.
