The Goblin Beat

Listen in this week as we do character creation for a new (hopefully long term) fantasy campaign using Savage Worlds rules.  We will be relying heavily on the new Weird Wars Rome sourcebook from Pinnacle as well as the Fantasy Companion as we adventure in this home-brew campaign setting.  You can check out the Obsidian Portal page for the campaign as well if you are interested. We would love to hear your feedback on the podcast at podcast@goblinbeat.com which we will either answer via email or on our podcast.  If you know an artist that would be willing to help us out with our maps and character portraits feel free to let us know about that as well.  If you leave us great reviews on iTunes (which we appreciate greatly) we might read those as well.  Thanks for listening.

While at GenCon we played many different games, one of which was 7 Wonders, a board game where each player takes on the role of a city attempting to build an ancient wonder of the world while still building up their science, military religion and public works.  It's an interesting game with a fun card swapping mechanic.  Listen in as Terry, Matt and Danny play the game for the first time. We would love to hear your feedback on the podcast at podcast@goblinbeat.com which we will either answer via email or on our podcast.  If you leave us great reviews on iTunes (which we appreciate greatly) we might read those as well.  Thanks for listening.

Hey everyone out there in Goblin Beatnik land!  We spent last weekend at GenCon and this week we force you to, err allow you to listen to some of our thoughts on the con, what we did and what we wish we had done.  Take a listen and let us know what you thought about GenCon and if you saw us let us know! As always it helps us a ton if you (and your friends!) subscribe to the Podcast on iTunes, give us a good rating and tell others you game with about the show.  If you leave us interesting feedback or send us an email at podcast@goblinbeat.com we might even read it on air!

We finish our first ever game of Cthulhu Dark in this week's episode.  Listen in as our players come to terms with this new system even as their characters go insane when forced to stare into the deadly truth of the universe!  Or something like that.
