Any AQI style Podcasts for 13th Age?

[cavalier973]

I have been trying to listen/watch to some of the Youtube Videos of people playing 13th Age, to get a better feel for how it plays. There's one dungeonmaster named Aaron who has done yeoman's service putting up videos, but they're a little difficult for me to follow.

Is there any podcast/vodcast that are comparable to the Acquisitions Inc. podcasts for 4th edition?

Yes.

One starts here: http://www2.kisw.com/listen/bj-sheas-geek-nation-13th-age-part-1

There is at least one sequel to that adventure as well.

The only other one I know of is MadCast. Can't speak to the quality, I have little patience or time to watch or listen to APs.

I second the BJ Shea podcasts. They're entertaining, easy to follow, and relatively short.

PLUS, they have Rob Heinsoo himself acting as AgeMaster. I always enjoy learning from the style of master GMs. Rob's highly improvisational style and his constant negotiations with his players was a real revelation to me.

IIRC during one of the playtest podcasts mearls used "Heinsoo" as a verb to refer to his negotiation-centric DM style.

Even though I don't tend to like the games Heinsoo designs (they always seem to rub me wrong somehow), the guy has brought a ton of ideas to my gaming. His game design articles in the KQ guide to game design have been a huge influence on how I see a lot of things in life.
