Video raiwcoleLeave a comment

Good morning, you beautiful content consumers. Today we bring you the final installment in our How Do You…? series, and we’re sharing tips on how to make room for diverse characters, stories, and settings at your table.  We also share what to do if you mess up, or feel an enormous amount of anxiety re: messing up. Thank you @Mypsilan on Twitter for suggesting the topic!

We ALSO address everyone’s obsession with reanimating Tolkien’s corpse, commit countless audio sins, and in general this is kind of an ADHD-fest but we DO stay laser-focused on the important stuff (including discussion of James Mendez Hodes‘ excellent work, if you like this episode read his blog because it’s basically what we’re saying but 100% better!!)

Video raiwcoleLeave a comment

Hey, Bonus Babies! It’s entry two in our How Do You…?series, talkin’ all about surprising your players. If you’re looking for how to better keep secrets from them, how to play out entertaining twists, or just need advice on how to maintain a poker face, we have a few tips and tricks for you. Also, we crack wise about Edgar Allan Poe’s terrible mystery writing skills and share our thoughts on Forbidden Pizza.

Patrons (y’know, of our Patreon) can find Margaret’s extended cut of this episode now! Featuring rave reviews of Headspace for your crummy ADHD brain, as well as a treatise on Forbidden Pizza, and an explanation of that one time Rai started a war over pizza in the Misdirected Mark slack. It’s, uh… it’s a pretty pizza-heavy episode, ngl.

It’s a whole new world for us here at BXP. Our Mysterious Program Manager (hereafter referred to as the MPM) has us on this new format, where we do series of interconnected topics. It’s a good thing they’re here to organize for us, because Monica and Rai are both notoriously HEY did we show you our new dice?? And this new minis game with the hot babes?? And this youtube my sister texted the other d–

Our first series is How Do You…? and this week, we’re talking about playing online: best technology and techniques, best practices, and best typing speeds (in which Rai holds the current, improbable record). Patrons (y’know, of our Patreon) can find Margaret’s extended cut of this episode, featuring Rai’s burning hatred of Facebook and Monica’s Freelance Kvetching Hour.

This week’s sponsor: Cut to the Chase on Kickstarter!
