* (0:30) Battletech, the map case, and why we’re hesitant to let certain people play characters of another gender.
* (5:24) The start of the next March of Dimes charity auction. You have 10 days to bid on a complete Dresden Files set with a GM book, several player books, and plenty of Fudge dice. The books will all be signed by Fred Hicks, Rob Donoghue, and the Fear the Boot hosts. If you wish to make a donation apart from the auction, you can do so here.
* (8:08) Themes we’d like to see more often — or never again — in roleplaying games. Topics discussed include romance, evil, mercenaries, redemption, addiction, friendship, moral complexity, tragic endings, ambiguous endings, discovery, world context, and the single-dimension quest.
Hosts: Chad, Chris, Dan, Pat, Wayne
