    Escapist Podcast: 164: Getting Back Into MMOs with Warlord of Draenor

    On the subject of finding modern and sci-fi games lacking in major ancient civilizations and magical artifacts and the like, have you ever considered Shadowrun? It's got ancient magical ruins that predate human civilization, artifacts, albeit fewer, but with more pronounced effects. You won't...

    Escapist Podcast - Tabletop: 015: Sometimes Simple Games Are Best

    As an old school Shadowrun DM, I would absolutely love to hear about Crossfire. If it scratches the itch I've had for Shadowrun lately, it would be perfect!

    Escapist Podcast - Movies and TV: 018: A Nap Among The Tombstones

    The whole time you were talking about Shocker, I thought you meant the Spiderman villain in diamond patterned jammys. Didn't help that you then brought in Spiderman's Electro for comparison! Curse your cross genre comparisons. Though a new serial killer movie starring the Spiderman Shocker would...

    Escapist Podcast - Tabletop: 008: Domains at War Putting Epic Battles Into Your Campaigns

    Ah, neat! I tend to play a low magic sort of pathfinder game anyhow, so with a bit of fudging and the like, may be able to pull something off. For 4E I ended up writing my own rough mass combat system for my players, and seemed to work, but was worried about doing the same here.

I'm using that rule system currently, but Domains at War sounds fascinating, and...

    Escapist Podcast: Bonus: Game of Thronescast, "The Lion and the Rose"

    I agree, they don't have a moment where say, Lady Olenna or Littlefinger or Dontos or whoever actually does it stands in the middle of the room yelling "I killed the King!" But I believe one character explains to Sansa how the plot went off, and who did what when.

    Escapist Podcast: 117: PlayStation 4

    I'm still convinced he was, and that Josh was just doing an incredible Jim Sterling Ventriloquist Act. Seriously though, loved having Jim on the podcast, love his videos, but when he is playing off other people, like at a panel or some such, he really shines in my opinion.
