GamingPerspectivesEpisode 303: Light RPGs, Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene Saul was looking at Reddit and found a post about how the person didn't like playing "Lighter" RPGs because they were more work for him in roleplaying than a crunchier systems like Pathfinder.

Listen to hear what Saul and Jolene have to say on the subject.

There are right-wing conservative Dungeons & Dragons players, and there are left-wing liberal Dungeons & Dragons players, but can they play at the same table?
On this weeks episode, we examine a passage from David Ewalt's "Of Dice and Men: The Story of Dungeons and Dragons and the People Who Play It" and ask the questions, can gaming bridge our cultural divides?

Given that he's the son of the founder of Dungeons & Dragons, we felt like his words hold weight and deserve to be analyzed.
Inspired by his recent appearance on "Live From the Bunker" (Episode 277: The Return of TSR Games) and some of the comments he made, Gretchen, Rob, and Amanda decided to get all judge-y.
