Podcasting D&D Games 46

Posted by Zonk from the nerd-stuffed-with-dork-wrapped-inside-geek dept.
Reader PoC wrote to give us a heads up on RPGmp3.com, a site that (wait for it) allows you to download reviews of D&D modules in audio format. These include live, unscripted excerpts from gaming sessions trying out the modules. If you've never played D&D before, this is a safe and cheeto-free way to check it out. They even have exerpts from sessions in the awe-inspiring ($100 US) World's Largest Dungeon.

    The third comment on the page (dated October 26 @ 16:59:07 GMT) has the following complaint:

    Some of you may have noticed that the site was down today was we had reached our bandwidth allowance. I have now upgraded the bandwidth to 17GB per month, which should tide us over for a while.

    I predict that this will happen again, just 8 days later...

    Oh yeah, I will so be downloading all of these and playing them right alongside my Vivaldi and Mozart mp3's. I tell ya', nothing initiates a Zen-like "self" moment quite like listening to the gorgeous, awe-inspiring arrangement of Vivaldi's Four Seasons Spring movement by Vanessa Mae, replete with hard-pounding trance-like fluidity, followed by 6 geeks arguing about the composition and chemical makeup of a 2d6 fireball.
    • This word, replete, I do not think it means what you think it means.
      • Replete = "Fully supplied with..." according to OED.
        • It's defined as "abundantly supplied" from Dictionary.com, which is pretty much the same as the OED. Further, replete is not a synonym of complete, which is how the OP uses the word.

          The context is: "Player (replete with pocket protector and buck-teeth induced lisp)." The singular usage of "protector" indicates the OP only meant one. One pocket protector is hardly "abundantly supplied."

          After that, the OP uses replete in a different context: "replete with hard-pounding trance-like fluidity." This could be a

        I listened to the first 17 minutes of the first file in their "World's Biggest Dungeon" game. The first 10 minutes is nothing but them coming up with a list of drinks and munchies for the game...

    So rather than having a turducken [thesalmons.org] this Thanksgiving, have a nerdorkeek! Be sure to leave out the pencil-necks [wwe.com] though...

    And they've only talked about snacks and food. Sounds like a D&D Session to me! Plus they're English. The only thing to dissuade me from verifying its authenticity is the fact that there appears to be a female player :) Ok.. Having written that it's now 6 minutes in and they're still talking about snacks. All my doubts have been allayed

    2: WHERE ARE THE CHEETOS?!?!
    Graham: They're right next to you
    Galstaff: I cast a spell
    2: Where's the mountain dew?
    Graham: In the fridge, DUH!
    Galstaff: I wanna cast a spell!
    2: CAN I HAVE A MOUNTAIN DEW?!?!
    Graham: Yes, you can have a mountain dew just go get it
    Galstaff: I can cast any of these right, on the list?
    Graham: Yes, any of the first level ones
    2: I'M GOING TO GET A SODA, ANYONE WANT ONE?!?! HEY GRAHAM I'M NOT IN THE ROOM RIGHT?
    Graham: What room?
    Galstaff: I want to cast MAGIC MISSILE
    2: THE ROOM WHERE HE'S CASTING ALL THESE SPELLS FROM!
    Graham: He hasn't cast anything yet
    Galstaff: I am though if you'd listen- I'm casting MAGIC MISSILE.
    Graham: Why are you casting magic missile? There's nothing to attack here.
    Galstaff: I... I'm attacking the darkness!

    (LAUGHTER FROM ALL)

    Graham: Fine, fine... you attack the darkness. There's an elf in front of you
    4: WHOA! That's me right?
    Graham: He's wearing a brown tunic, and he has gray hair and blue eyes
    4: No I don't, I have gray eyes
    Graham: Let me see that sheet

    Graham: Sigh... there are seven ogres surrounding you
    Galstaff: How could they surround us? I had Mordenkainen's Magical Watchdog cast
    Graham: No you didn't!
    2: I'M GETTING DRUNK, ARE THERE ANY GIRLS THERE?
    Galstaff: I totally did! You asked me if I wanted any equipment before this adventure and I said no, but I need material components for all of my spells, so I cast Mordenkaiden's Faithful Watchdog.
    Graham: But you never actually cast it
    2: ROLL THE DICE TO SEE IF I'M GETTING DRUNK!
    Graham: Arghhhh... yeah, you are
    2: ARE THERE ANY GIRLS THERE?
    Graham: Yeah...
    Galstaff: I did though- I completely said when you asked me...
    Graham: NO YOU DIDN'T. You didn't actually say that you were casting the spell so now there's Ogres okay?
    2: OGRES? MAN, I'VE GOT AN OGRE-SLAYING KNIFE, IT'S GOT A +9 AGAINST OGRES!
    Graham: YOU'RE NOT THERE! You're getting drunk!
    2: OKAY, BUT IF THERE ARE ANY GIRLS THERE I WANT TO DO THEM!

  • Head of Vecna and Eric vs. The Gazeebo ;)
    • Mark Steuer recounts this tale:

      Many years ago (back when we all were still playing D & D), I ran a game where I pitted two groups against each other.

      Several members of Group One came up with the idea of luring Group Two into a trap. You remember the Hand of Vecna and the Eye of Vecna that were artifacts in the old D&D world where if you cut off your hand (or your eye) and replaced it with the Hand of Vecna (or the Eye) you'd get new awesome powers? Well, Group One thought up The Head of Vecna

      In the early seventies, Ed Whitchurch ran "his game", and one of the participants was Eric Sorenson. Eric plays something like a computer. When he games, he methodically considers each possibility before choosing his preferred option. If given time, he will invariably pick the optimal solution. It has been known to take weeks. He is otherwise, in all respects, a superior gamer.
