* (0:29) Fear the Boot raises a glass to Willie.
* (3:07) RPG tropes we individually find annoying or overused. Plus counterpoints on why each one may not be so bad.
* (27:59) Jumping into an NPC as a way of staying involved and adding color to a scene. We focus on the implicit player-GM contract, when it’s appropriate (or not), what it can add to the game, and how much plot leverage you should grant yourself while doing it.
Hosts: Chad, Dan, Johann, Pat, Wayne
NOTE: If you hear some clicking during a couple minutes in the middle of the show, that was an issue with our audio setup. Nothing is wrong with your download or MP3 player, and it ends a few minutes after it starts.
