Episode 112: Socially Distant Gaming and Onyx Path Con!

by

In which the trio talks about online gaming in various forms.

  • We’re going to talk about online gaming!
  • Alice is Missing
  • ViewScream and the Ripper FMV
  • Koldunic sorcery egregiously bad?
  • 12 minutes in, Eddy is on topic
  • Matthew was a Moderator
  • A bit on our usage of Roll20 and Astral
  • Some talk about chat-based roleplay
  • New Bremen!
  • We reminisce about early days of computing
  • The olden days of scrambled pornography
  • Audio- and video-based roleplaying
  • Performing a game, versus playing
  • Discord gaming
  • Onyx Path Con

A Note: During the podcast, Eddy says the Pugmire Kickstarter was in 2017, which leads to some timeline confusion. It was actually finished in March 2016! Time is, however, a flat circle right now so we forgive Eddy this error.

  1. The Onyx Path dice roller app does a pretty good job of adapting to the different games to address the issue Eddy mentioned about the dice being confusing.

    • Oh totally, and there are lots of specialized tools for that. But it goes into the same area I mentioned with the Fantasy Flight version of Star Wars — it requires an extra tool. It’s not a deal breaker in many cases, but it adds a layer of logistics.
