Episode 83: Conan one shot part 3, Monsters!

In this episode the heroes deal with the beasts of Zogar Sag, I mean some other Pictish shaman. There are heroics and a mighty monkey slap.

Episode 82: Conan one shot part 2, more fighting Picts

Today the heroes attempt to warn the settlers that the Picts are coming by recreating Paul Reveres’ ride through Massachusetts only on foot and through the Conajohara wilderness. There’s more sword play and fewer British redcoats. The GM shares some ideas on PC death at the end.

Episode 80: Workshop: Session Zero

Today we discuss the importance of having a good session zero. Session zero is when you lay out everyone’s expectations and meld the player group together. We carry the conversation a little bit farther afield to discuss when you should hold another session zero and the sorts of problems you can encounter if you don’t get everyone on the same page about what game you are playing.

The fantastic post about running combat is at The Angry GM’s site. There are many other articles there that are fantastic.
