Is it listed on the zune marketplace or did you have to manually add the podcast yourself?

The RPPR podcast is listed (which is how I found you guys to begin with in a random browse)...
As for the AP podcast, I don't know... I manually added it after you guys put it into effect...

I go through the Zune marketplace (yes, I have a Zune... let the flaming commence) and I don't have any problems getting the podcast. (suck it, apple)

If you ever have a few moments to kill... this is an amusing way to do it.

That's why my old group always played with the "Blue Flag Rule"... it was when someone said something, and it wasn't in character, they had to give a notice that it wasn't in character (i.e. crossing your fingers visibly while jokingly saying "I wonder if my polar bear would be strong enough to dig through the floor... let's find out...")

The two best examples of us holding ourselves to this came in the underdark when, after recieving the description of seeing a physical manifestation of Lolth for the first time, a player (who had played with us for some time but neither he nor his character knew much about the underdark) proceeded to say "So, who's the bitch with all the spiders?"

... ... ... yah... that didn't end well for him... But at least he didn't get mad when he realized that he had, accidentally, said that in character...

There was another time when I caught the GM in a Blue Flag moment... I had a shape-shifting character who had disguised himself as an attractive female to gather information and was... *ahem* ... very successful. The GM proceeded to jokingly say "Congratulations, you recieve 3 skill points in profession: prostitution" to which I replied "I add my CHA modifier to that particular skill, right?" ... He had said it jokingly but gave it to me anyway since he was following his own rule. Later on in that quest, my character had some free time and decided to put his new skill to use... (I rolled a nat 20... you can imagine the money he got from THAT one)

I have an AP of MAOCT author Ben Baugh running Candlewick Manor (I'm a player yaaaay). There is a horde of mongooses fighting snakes and that isn't even the weirdest part.

I think I remember you talking about that in one of your podcasts... You should definitely put up that AP... I'd love to hear it played out.

Honestly, after hearing the accent and seeing the tendrils, a prototype Omega Red was the first thing that came to mind... I have NO idea who Whiplash is...

As a GM, it's funny (at first) when players over-think stuff and over-complicate things... for a while... then it just gets frustrating... It's hard to find that healthy balance between giving them just enough info to keep moving and reving up the chainsaw.

As a player, it's ALWAYS frustrating when other players over-complicate stuff... Especially when "it's not your turn" so you can't do what you know they should be doing...

Listening to the Call Of Cthulu AP's makes me wanna go find the books... Once the holidays are over and my bank account is back to its once glorious state, that is...

I found myself randomly laughing to myself at work today when the phrase came to mind
"Of course we didn't kill them... We're German... We would have just shot them" when referring to horribly mutilated bodies.

Well, they do say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... Makes me want to make a character with Hep C but not tell anyone he has it... Just hope it's a long term game and have him die for no apparent reason.

Me: "Has it been two weeks or three since (insert event here) ?"
Other Player: "Man, what do you care if it's been two or three?"
Me: "Trust me... it matters..."

So, I've been reading the threads and, so far, my favorite groups are "Exemplars" and "Guardians United"

Once I get word back from the GM, I plan on bringing in a shape-shifting character "Mr. Smith". It should be interesting.

Edit: "Mr. Smith" approved and added to "Guardians United" - look for him in upcoming issues.
