The Elf and Dwarf

After talking about some recent news such as Buzz Aldrin’s blasting of popular Sci Fi, the Elf and Dwarf bring in some friends to talk about their first impressions of the new Dungeons and Dragons.  Focusing exclusively on the game play experience they talk about what’s new, what’s kept and what changes they like so far and what they don’t.

That’s right to mesh with our Halloween theme, the Elf and Dwarf talk about the classic RPG Vampire the Masquerade.  First comes some news (well a LOT of news) from the fantasy/ sci fi worlds including info on Pushing Daisies, the JLA movie, WoW news, and oh yeah, Dumbledore is gay.  Then usual quick email segment (the Dragonlance Trailer is out there!) and then Ady does a book review!

So where do you start when you make a character?  This episode is one part article review (thanks to the folks at WoW Insider) and one part RP advice column.  In addition to our Topic of the Week, we talk about news, goings on, and Adeldia uses her own Bully Pulpit to talk about the challenges facing those that help adopt animals.  Oh and there’s a new contest/ poll for the show!

Okay so that’s not all we have this week.  First the Hunter Pair go through the news wire and gab about some of the more interesting stories to come down the pipeline.  Kodath reports in on the new voice chat for WoW that’s finally implemented.  Back to gaming talk we go over how MMO’s and Table Top gaming seem to be converging again, but with MMO’s seeming to be winning in the conversion.  Some email reactions round out the show.

 Yep an extreme erotic RP guild got nailed.  Apparently Blizzard is NOT okay with people using their game to particpate in, and encourage what would be illegal actions in the real worlds in their game world.

Harkens a bit to the various slash fic and similar “mature” fanfic circulating which was recently purged from Live Journal.

Adeldia’s cold has worsened and she was unable to return this week.  But in an effort to fill her microphone, we’ve invited several friends to comment on a variety of RP related topics.  This week we are joined by Jim Moreno of /rolecraft and our guildies Mabon and Askashia for a panel-of-experts-style discussion.
