Ep. 11 Role-play

<p>In this episode I discuss, hypothesis, theories and philosophies on roleplaying specifically in Dungeons and Dragons, but it can apply to any RPG. I dive, very briefly into the history behind some of the ideas that people present in regards to role-playing games and D&amp;D. I also explain and critique recent media in their attempts to create a unified philosophy or psychological breakdown of roleplay. DnD, being the first tabletop roleplaying game, has often had the discussion on why and how to properly roleplay. I share my thoughts on what others think and present my own.</p>

Ep. 10 Lit Up: Dragonlance

<p>In this episode I discuss many specifics of the plot, story, narrative elements, themes and characters of Dragonlance. &nbsp;I mostly focus on the first two Trilogies of Chronicles (Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter night, Dragons of Spring Dawning) and Legends (Time of the Twins, War of the Twins, Test of the Twins). &nbsp;</p> <p>Dragonlance was a story that grew out of D&amp;D sessions at the headquarters of TSR, which was the company that made Dungeons and Dragons. &nbsp;The epic story surrounding the series is a direct result of the individuals involved in writing it but also the culture within the company had an influence. &nbsp;The Companions (also known as the Heroes of the Lance) were seeped in DnD lore. &nbsp;So Tanis Half-Elven, Sturm Brightblade, Raistlin and Caramon Majere, Tasslehoff Burrfoot, Flint Fireforge, Goldmoon, Riverwind, Tika Waylan-Majere as well as Lauralanthalasa and Gilthanas Kanan were Dungoens and Dragons characters through and through: Margaret Weis and Tracey Hickman breathed life into these characters and brought us an epic that has been a New York Time's best selling series.</p>

Ep. 9 Campaign Worlds: Dragonlance

<p>In this episode I discuss the Dungeons and Dragons world Dragonlance, created in 1984 by Tracy and Laura Hickman as well as the novels which were written by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis. &nbsp;I talk about the early D&amp;D adventures as well as the art by Larry Elmore that helped to flesh out the world. &nbsp;Dragonlance has existed in several editions of DnD as well as a brief interlope into another game called the SAGA System. but it was brought back into D&amp;D's 3rd edition by Margaret Weis productions and then began to wane in 2008.</p>
