In this episode, we talk about how to best use lying and secrecy in your games.
The secrets of this episode:
Good evening, hepcats, greasers and squares. We got the skinny on playing hardboiled in La La Land in the early ’60s, a land of queens, dreams and inbetweens. Dig Lyal laying on some heavy RPG experiments. Dig Wayne going talk, talk, talk (over Lyal). Dig Chris offering some funky advice.
So, tune in and dig the baaaad vibe we lay down. It’ll be a gas. From the podcast that’s on the record, off the QT and never very hush-hush.
Correction: Elfenland is actually like the travelling salesman problem, not “dilemma”.
Special Note 1: The Ryan and Matt mentioned in the podcast are the forum’s very own Ryan and Matt.
Special Note 2: It’s not mentioned in the episode, but we used the World of Darkness system.
Everything you always wanted to know about pen-and-paper role-playing games but were afraid (or couldn’t be bothered) to ask.
The Idle Red Hands are blessed with some great friends who, despite having no clue about RPGs, listen to our podcast. One recommended that we record an episode that explains some of the basic concepts to help him follow along, so we did. This is for him and all those who have ever wondered why some people choose to spend their Saturday nights rolling dice.
