happyjacks explicitStarting adventures/”You’re all in a tavern.”

Bumper from the Slash and Cast Podcast.

Announcing the Happy Jack’s Haiku Contest! Send us a haiku as if written by a monster. Email it to us and we’ll pick our favorite and send the poet some sort of prize (TBD).

Example:

Your Realm beckons me
The Fell Taint is patient, with
Unfortunate name.

Grimm: the RPG where you play a snotty nosed kid, battling your fairy tale favorites.

Laser Ponies! An RPG where you play ponies — that shoot lasers from their eyes!

Prince of Undeath: Adventure E3 for 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. Beautiful product. We don’t run packaged adventures, but includes some cool stuff (and more new epic-level monsters than you can shake a stick at). Also includes a very cool battle mat of a ship.

Sharing WOTC pdfs can cost you a 100k.

Dungeons and Dragons: the Opera?

We discuss campaign starts. Stu defends “you’re all in a tavern.” We offer some alternatives. It degenerates into a tirade about players who insist on bucking starting campaign guidelines.

Featured song: “The Pub That We Call Home” by the Poxy Boggards, from the CD, Anchor Management.

We love feedback. If you’d like to leave us a question or comment you can either:

  • email us at happyjacksrpg@gmail.com
  • Skype Voice mail: happyjacksrpg
  • leave a comment here on the blog
  • register on the blog, click on “forum” and post.

  1. Great shownotes and great episode! And Laser Ponies are the best, specially when mounted by Laser Ninjas… wait a second, do ninjas ride ponies? :)

    Keep on with the show, guys, it’s getting better and better!

    Cheers from Brazil! “You are all in a brazilian tavern…”

  2. Your idea for the Child to adult game sounds a lot like the book/movie “IT” by Steven King.
    I would love to play a game like that. Wether in the Grim game or many others.
    I used to love playing changeling as a standalone campaign without the rest of the WoD.
