In this Box Breaking Matt takes a look at the Skycoach from @Wizkids. The Skycoach is part of the D&D Nolzur’s Marvelous Miniatures line. The Skycoach is a staple for travel in the Eberron campaign setting or any setting where your gm allows flying ships. #dungeonsanddragons.

I have been using this for a few months now and I am loving the model.

I hope you enjoyed it. I think I will be picking up a few of these.

In this Flip Through Matt takes a look a the complex cultures found in Golaria. Exploring the realms’ modes of travel, trade and architecture.

This is unlike many of the travel guides I have used in the past. Most of those are just superficial information about areas and places. The Lost Omens Travel guide goes further; introducing cultures, food, habits and even architectural flavors to Pathfinder 2e.

My Dragonfire play through and review. This is my first attempt at a real play through.  I hope you like it. I do believe  I made an error or 2. I think i’m going to post a follow up video that is a play through of the first round. I learned a lot and had all kinds of problems with software. That caused issues with YouTube postponing the publication of this video. In other words I’m sorry this took so long.

With it all said and done I can say that I thoroughly enjoy Dragonfire and I hope to see a lot of expansion items for it in the future.

In this Flip Through Matt Takes a look at Tomb of Annihilation for Dungeons and Dragons. Tomb of Annihilation has a story rooted and inspired by Tomb of Horrors.  I tried real hard not to spoil too much for you.

For me this book has been a trip down memory lane because Tomb of Horrors was one of my first gaming experiences

In this episode of Role-Play Ramblings Matt talks with, his guest, Jason Hardy of Catalyst Game Labs about social tension and how it can be applied to role-playing. Filmed at Origins 2016 this is one of my favorite episodes of all time. This episode was inspired by the transgender bathroom debate that was socially prominent early in 2016. Jason and I don’t actually debate an issue here; we discuss how to apply an issue appropriately with your community.

This is a really great episode for thse who truly want to create an extremely rich game world.  Thank you Jason Hardy for making this topic make perfect sense

In this episode of Role-Play Ramblings Matt discusses spotlighting. Which is the art of allowing player characters shine at the right point in time for them to become integral to the story.

I have been GMing for about 30 years and I still find this to be one of the most difficult things to do!

In this Role-Play Ramblings Matt talks about Story telling, He shares some of the pitfalls he has experienced as a GM and he talks about how writing fiction differs from writing an adventure.

This is probably a topic I will come back to in the future, it’s one of those rare topic where you can always learn and apply something.

In this episode of Role-Play Ramblings Matt talks about planting seeds.  Which in this conversation is a combination of foreshadowing, note taking, listening and even closure.

 


This is something that I think newer GM’S struggle with, but once it’s learned it is very rewarding.
