Episode 005 – The Veiny Hammer

RENTON FOOD CO-OP

This time it’s all about how to get the most roleplaying juice out of your characters – strategies for building and playing characters that help you get to the super-fulfilling and awesome RP experience. We talk about what has worked for us, and some things that have kept us from ‘getting into character’ in the past.

Also included: curmudgeonly grousing about there being TOO MANY nerdy conventions to attend in Seattle, failed visual gags, and real live conflict within the party of hosts!

Also, also: If you have anything that you’d like us to talk about, or even if you just think we’re spectacularly wrong about something, let us know in the comments! We’d love to hear from anyone and everyone who listens to this business!
