Tutorial: A Fast and Dirty Ginger Brew
Hey everyone! I know some of you, like me, harbor a fondness in your heart for a chilled adult beverage. Enjoyed responsibly, of course. However, some of us may be restricted to a very tight budget. Today I am bringing you the results of a little exbeeriment I have...

084 Dungeon Talk 2 (Mp3)

Creating a RPG – Setting – Big Boundaries
Hi i'm Tondi I've worked in the Information Technology field for my entire adult working career. I've never watched or been interested in Star Trek but have always loved the original Star Wars films. When I was a kid I used to run around the yard pretending to be a...
MFGCast: Getting Into Character
Kurt gets together with Alex from Battlebards, Rohit from Gamers Plane, John from Legends of Tabletop, and Taylor from The Leviathan Files to talk about getting into character. They chat about character backgrounds, character conflict,...
Creating a RPG – Mechanics – Rules Light or Heavy
Hi i'm Tondi I can't remember the edition but the first table top RPG I ever played was ShadowRun. I have a lot of trouble remembering peoples names. My favourite edition of Dungeons and Dragons is 4th Edition. The longest character backstory i've ever written was...
Creating a RPG – The Journey Begins
Hi i'm Tondi I've played many games from many genres, rules heavy & rules light. I like games that promote role-play but also like power gaming and the mechanics of gaming. I've been part of the Legends of Tabletop network for about a year now. I've only made...
Being Your GM’s Best Player
A lot of people talk about what it means to be a good Game Master and how to make your players happy. Well, I'm going to tell you players that it's not all about you. If your GM is not happy with the party, then he is going to make things difficult - if not downright...
Games for Extra Life Charity
So we've joined the MFGNU Team for Extra Life Charities. You can find our individual page here. Why should you care? Well, it's a great cause and you can help kids who really need it but if that's not reason enough how about this? Legends of Tabletop has partnered...
Time for another update
Ok time for another update. Things continue to move forward at a breakneck speed for us here. Some things we still can't talk about quite yet as we're still working out details but should prove to be pretty exciting once implemented. There are a couple of things we...
Being Your Player’s Best GM
Often times people think that being a Game Master means simply having a story that you want to tell, writing some names down, and then throwing some monsters in for the players to fight. While this is true for the game side of things, what people (and many players)...
Expanding the Empire
As we continue our slow but steady growth we have decided to branch out into another area, actual plays. There is something in the works that will lend itself to this additional avenue for your entertainment. I don't want to say anymore then that at the moment but...
Game Master: Friend or Foe?
I've heard of Game Masters described as story tellers, who work with the players at the table to create a dialogue that will eventually evolve into the tale of an epic journey. I've heard of Game Masters as a vile creature of the Underworld, who is tasked with...
Quick Update
Just a quick update, we are continuing to schedule awesome guests for your listening pleasure. Next up we're going to have Dennis Detwiller on to discuss his upcoming Kickstarter. We have Adam Scott Glancy and Kenn Hite queued up. The awesome keeps on coming. Vince...
August’s Theme
So the theme for this month is all things conventions. GenCon has just past and Vince and I are rapidly approaching our trip to NecronomiCon. We hope to have some cool surprises while we're there. Will we be successful? You'll have to come back and check us...
What to Prepare for when Changing Games
Hi i'm Tondi I've been playing table top role playing games for about ten years and since the very beginning i've been absolutely fascinated by them. I love them. I'm lucky enough to have a regular gaming crew and have played in and run long term and short term...
And now time for something completely different . . .
Let me start by saying I’ve noticed a trend to speak more to #GMproblems in our posts. I’ll try to maintain some balance though because let’s face it, by default, there are probably more players than GMs out there. Free entrepreneurial opportunity, make a game with...
Introducing New Systems
I guess I'll be the first one to tackle the sometimes tricky topic of introducing new gaming systems to your group. I am not as loquacious as either Neil or Jesse so this could be pretty short, we'll see. When I got back into gaming it was with D&D 4E. No...
Balance of the Game Master
Storyteller. Judge. Actor. These are the three bars that are forever fluctuating on the mental interface of a Game - or Dungeon - Master. They will never be equal, nor should they be, but one should never stray too far from the others. And allowing one to take...
July’s Theme
We're going to try something a little different this month in regards to our articles. There will still be reviews and crafts and other random articles but we're going to have a topic for the month. If it goes fairly well then we may move to this type of format for...
Six is Company, Seven’s a Crowd? (Part 1)
My ever more enjoyable Star Wars: Edge of the Empire game recently required a tough vote by the group whether to add another player. But Neil, don't you WANT more players in the game? The more the merrier, right? In a lot of gaming groups, I'd say ABSOLUTELY! But most...
