About Us
We are a group of folks that like to game on Saturday nights! To be clear, we are just a group of friends, who enjoy gaming together. We aren’t sticklers for rules, we will role play, we will bicker, but overall we have fun!
Here is a quick rundown of the group: Vince mostly runs the games, and the game is hosted at his house. We have Steven, David, Corey, Sarah and Jakob, The table has microphones around it, feeding into an audio interface, which feeds into a Mac Mini. We normally record in hour chunks, taking small breaks in between while saving each “episode”.
All of us have a history with role playing games, some of us more so then others, but really who cares, it’s not about experience, it’s about how you play and the story you tell while playing.
The games we play, Marvel, D&D, D20 Modern, Fate, we play for us, we just record it for those out there that enjoy listening to actual play podcasts, and are looking for examples of how games work.
Most of the games played here focus more on story side of things then the mechanics and things will often be judged on the fly to keep the story going. We don’t care, we are here to have fun! Some of the games we are playing are Marvel Superheroes (FASERIP), Ghostbusters (GBI Rules) and more!
