Prismatic Tsunami is creating Tabletop Gaming Podcasts and Materials. With our flagship program Metagamers Anonymous now in it's sixth year, we are building a network of geek and gaming-related podcasts and focusing on creating excellent material for RPGs, original games, and similar products.

It sounds like your group will really love Adventure Two, then. My wife is very into procedural shows, and she actually started a crime board when they were investigating the case in that Adventure:

Apologies for not answering this sooner, Levistej. And thank you for the kind words. I actually worked pretty closely with Ryan Nock on the conversion material, and a lot of the ideas we discussed have since appeared in the EN5ider articles outlining the players guide and campaign guide info...

My players have yet to hone in on Harkover's secret, and they're currently in Adventure 7. That being said, they asked him for some aid in Adventure 6 and noted that he was a little uncomfortable spending any time in Ber. I remember a couple of my players speculating about his reticence and one...

I wanted to share a composition I recently posted to my Patreon page, entitled The Royal Homeland Constabulary. I've been running a Zeitgeist campaign off and on for the past few years. I typically take a break in the fall around our local convention, TsunamiCon. (I run the con, so it gets...

I might also recommend Metagamers Anonymous. It's focused on immersive roleplaying.

I had actually had a similar concern (also running it in Pathfinder). I'm not particularly fond of the proliferation of generic magic items, and I was worried about just opening the proverbial book and letting them choose. What I've discovered, however, is that even though the process of...

The Kickstarter for TsunamiCon 2015 is approaching the home stretch! TsunamiCon is Wichita's premiere tabletop gaming convention, happening October 23rd, 24th and 25th at the Wichita Holiday Inn. We're following up on a successful first-year event with an even bigger and better convention...

On this week's episode of Metagamers Anonymous, one of the discussions that came up in passing was the use of illusion magic and adjudicating illusions fairly. D&D has had a lot of different rulesets for handling illusions over the years - to a varying degree of effectiveness - but I was...

In our ninety-fourth regular episode of Metagamers Anonymous, the cast discusses the challenges of revisiting previous campaigns, whether to freshen them up with new ideas or just to try and pick up the threads of a languishing story. They also spend a few minutes on the TsunamiCon Kickstarter...

The Kickstarter for TsunamiCon 2015 is now live! TsunamiCon is Wichita's premiere tabletop gaming convention, happening October 23rd, 24th and 25th at the Wichita Holiday Inn. We're following up on a successful first-year event with an even bigger and better convention, with tabletop gaming of...

I am currently running a Kickstarter for our upcoming fall gaming convention in Wichita, Kansas, and I have a question for the assembled masses. My core management team is principally comprised of roleplayers, with a lot of similar interests kind of sprinkled into the group. I'm wondering how...

Thanks for the advice, Ryan. And the good word! If there's anything I can do to actually help perpetuate the crazy idea of making your way to Wichita this November, Let. Me. Know. I'd love to buy you a beer, and you know my group would be kinda giddy getting the chance to meet you in person...

As Morrus was kind enough to link our TsunamiCon website on the front page yesterday, I thought I'd take a moment to elaborate. My team is currently building a gaming convention for this fall in our home city of Wichita, Kansas. If you're anywhere near us, I encourage you to check out our...

TsunamiCon 2014: Wichita's Premiere Tabletop Gaming Convention is happening November 7th, 8th, and 9th at the historic Hotel At Old Town in Wichita, KS! TsunamiCon is three solid days of gaming and related geekery, with RPGs, board games, card games, miniature games, tournaments, LARPs, cosplay...

In our fifty-second regular episode of Metagamers Anonymous, the cast dives back into the psychological brain bin and drums up a discussion on applying Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to the art of character development. They also banter about the applications of thematic versus generic game...

True, but I would posit that the front end is still pretty weighty. While it is possible to build characters whose abilities distill into very specific die rolls that are quickly resolved, the general layout of the combat system is such that a broad variety of builds can still take heavy...
