| Shooting from the hip | 20 Nov 2022 | 00:46:23 | |
Contact the Paladins of Podcast The paladins of podcast are back and shooting from the hip as we talk about all the things on our mind. How do we handle random off the cuff ideas? How do we fix quick issues? What kinds of things are doing with our players? Boons and great gifts of power that could turn a party into monstrous murder hobos? It's all kind of in there and we're happy to have talked about all of it.

| What are mircoshots? | 12 Nov 2022 | 00:48:02 | |
Contact the Paladins of Podcast Honestly, Eli got us hooked on this idea he got from his Dad (who also happens to be one of the Paladin's players) because he didn't want to waste an ENTIRE lemon or lime called Microshots. It sounds like six full shots and Craig and Rob are both entertained by the idea. We catch the table talk bug as we try to discern the flavor for what our session zero's look like with the huge news that Craig has started up a live, in person game! Listen to us catch up all, and try to garner some information from this weeks episodes, even if it's to try to learn what a micro shot is. We should have Eli's dad on the show. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/epictablegames/supportEpic Adventures by OddFish Games, featuring Steve Kellams and Mike Howlett Anime Pulse reviews all types of anime from Shonin to Romance and anything between .

Contact the Paladins of Podcast If you're listening to our podcast, and aren't sure what we're doing, you should probably phone another friend right now because we don't either!

| What is balance, and why would Rob fight a bird? | 29 Oct 2022 | 00:46:49 | |
Contact the Paladins of Podcast Eli wanted to spring a question about balance on us, particularly what does it mean for a game to be balanced and while Craig opened the can of philosophical potential of possibilities, Rob tried hard to separate over powered with balance in the metaphysical sense. Yet, all of it was to learn that we were being lead into a conversation about Rob attacking birds in the name of distaste and balance because of a very... very.. particular moment by Paladin Eli.

| The Social Contract | 15 Oct 2022 | 00:47:41 | |
Contact the Paladins of Podcast How do you get your table to sit down, shut up, and pay attention to the game? How do you get them to participate? How do you get them to show up on time? Well, you simply make them sign a binding contract that states if they don't do these things there will be full fiery retribution filled with hate and brimstone. Okay, not really. But we do talk about what has become known as "The Social Contract," which helps state expectations of the players, the Dungeon Master, and sets the baseline for table behavior and etiquette. This was the first time Paladin of Podcast Rob has really taken the time to talk about one to his party very specifically, and it's now even available as a freebie at EpicTableGames.com. Paladins Craig and Eli both are interested to hear more about Rob's presentation being his first time, and we talk about the whole idea of using one and how much translates between in person games and online games.

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Our Paladin of Podcast Craig had some amazing news to deliver today, and it sent us down only the beginning of the rabbit hole of designing content that is going to be published. We cover a lot of the initial idea formation and the work that is needed to put out content that you're writing for a client and some of the expectations you can set as a creator. This is a passion for everyone, and while we'd all do it for free Craig makes a great point of setting expectations for payment and Rob talks about how he broke his own rule with spec work. Eli really fills our trio with his experience writing for Hackmaster, and talks about his system of organization to keep both himself and the readers of work on track without loosing their minds.

Contact the Paladins of Podcast The paladins of podcast, Craig, Eli, and Rob do what they can to talk about monsters and how for the most part you can just use bears!

| Does anyone else overdevelop NPCs? | 27 Aug 2022 | 00:59:39 | |
Contact the Paladins of Podcast I was listening to this weeks episode when I realized that Rob over develops most of his NPC's because either his players expect him to because they've always asked in depth questions or they expect him to because he always has. But the fact is, these NPC's are way developed, especially the reoccurring ones.

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob and Josh tackle that record keeping. The book keeping. The score counting. The journaling. The dreaded note system. We talk about a few good points, for if you're a Dungeon Master and if you're a player. Did you know that when you shorthand and don't know what you're reading a week or two later, those notes are pretty useless?

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Aspartame is an intense, low-calorie, artificial sweetener. It is a white, odourless powder, approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar. And the paladins of podcast just can't let it go this episode!

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob & Josh started out really strong with this one by mentioning a few things about using media as inspiration in a bid to finish a quick idea from last weeks episode.

| We mourn the passing of Brandon "Potato" Tatroe | 09 May 2022 | 00:03:30 | |
Contact the Paladins of Podcast It is with my greatest sorrow to inform our community of the death of our co-host, Brandon "Potato" Tatroe. Without Potato, it feels hard to move forward and I know that he wouldn't want me to stop or give up. When he suddenly handed me his reigns, I knew from a recent conversation that he didn't want this to end and that I'd have to finish what we started. Something that honors and celebrates Potato, for everyone in the community. Unfortunately, this means that for a few weeks, Epic Table Games will have to pause production on our audio show while we figure out the direction and casting. We can't replace or fill Potato's shoes, but we can march forward with his approval and celebrate his life and love for this hobby. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/epictablegames/supportEpic Adventures by OddFish Games, featuring Steve Kellams and Mike Howlett Thanks for tuning in to SideQuests!

| Cheating, PC environment, and a double dose of monster spotlight | 12 Mar 2022 | 01:03:28 | |
Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob and Potato bring back the conversation about cheating, and how we personally deal with it because it really seems like so many people feel they need to micromanage the games as a DM, and don't allow players the ability time to adjust to the social culture of the party. We also touch a bit on some of the politically correct and inclusive culture and how it isn't a bad thing but can be hard to manage at times, and finish up a bit with a double dose of monster spotlight! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/epictablegames/supportEpic Adventures by OddFish Games, featuring Steve Kellams and Mike Howlett Anime Pulse reviews all types of anime from Shonin to Romance and anything between .

| 5e Chaotic Good Cleric Zealot Concept? | 05 Mar 2022 | 00:35:57 | |
Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob and Potato talk about one of Rob's character ideas in depth about a chaotic good cleric who's all for healing everyone! Good guys, bad guys, party members, and more so long as they submit to their deities. While it's a difficult idea to pursue, we talk about how it has to be acceptable by the party because such a build will be complex and difficult to work with. Also, low and behold there are actual rules to support this character, so we wouldn't even have to make up some home brew things! And unfortunately we had to cut this episode short because all of our technological equipment was dying due to being more mobile than stationary today, so we were able to cover Potato's character build early before ending the episode there. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/epictablegames/supportEpic Adventures by OddFish Games, featuring Steve Kellams and Mike Howlett Anime Pulse reviews all types of anime from Shonin to Romance and anything between .

| We talked about Dune and got hung up on The One Ring | 19 Feb 2022 | 00:48:30 | |
Contact the Paladins of Podcast Potato was pretty excited to talk about Modiphius Entertainment's Dune TTRPG, which does sound awesome despite Rob's carpenter jokes when he mentions how you build your houses (which is still funny by the way). As move through the landscape of political role playing, we actually got hung up when talking about The One Ring, and it just couldn't be saved. Stick with it though because we finish strong with Potato's monster spotlight and a character trope idea that Rob's looking to play in someone's game. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/epictablegames/supportEpic Adventures by OddFish Games, featuring Steve Kellams and Mike Howlett Anime Pulse reviews all types of anime from Shonin to Romance and anything between .

| Why am I back on this Soapbox? | 12 Feb 2022 | 00:56:45 | |
Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob and Potato talk about some horrible expectations from players and dungeon masters alike, when we read a few horror stories that really raise the bar on what we should do or how we should act during our game times. But you know what! When you're a player, you shouldn't chastise your dungeon master for not doing enough, when they're pouring their free time in preparing as much as they can for you. And as a Dungeon Master, stop complaining that your players keep going off the rails - your plan will go out the window, so adapt. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/epictablegames/supportEpic Adventures by OddFish Games, featuring Steve Kellams and Mike Howlett Anime Pulse reviews all types of anime from Shonin to Romance and anything between .

| Deep dive into two games | 05 Feb 2022 | 00:51:23 | |
Contact the Paladins of Podcast Rob and Potato finally have a chance to look closely into Blades in the Dark and Lamentations of the Flame Princess. While LotFP is a call back to the more gruesome and hard core mode of 2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons with really wicked artwork, It's Blades in the Dark that has captured our attention with a Grand Theft Auto heist style adventure setup. Over the course of the next few weeks as we become more familiar with the games I'm sure we'll talk about them more. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/epictablegames/supportEpic Adventures by OddFish Games, featuring Steve Kellams and Mike Howlett Anime Pulse reviews all types of anime from Shonin to Romance and anything between .

Contact the Paladins of Podcast Let's face it, some of us play our fantasy games in the most absurd and hardcore ways. Others play it fast and loose. But what kind of players buy mundane, every day, regular items? Rob and Potato talk about some of the ridiculous items that never seem to come up in actual play but are there for purchase anyway.
