The RPG Ancients

The Ancients Practice in their Echo Chamber

The Ancients get together to find our who has the biggest echo! Also listener questions from Frank Filz, AsenRG, and Mia the Dragon. We talk about how we generate cultures, determining if an NPC is male or female, how do PCs seek out worthy problems, how to use RPGs for educational services, and whether or not we have ninjas in our games! Enjoy!

The Ancients Consult Our New Electronic Overlords!

Today's questions are from ChatGPT, the Artificial Intelligence application. I asked if it would like us - the RPG Ancients - to answer any questions, and it supplied 12 solid, concise questions! We answer I believe four of them. 

Slaves of Mia! Four doddering old fools enslaved by the mighty Dragon Mia try in their fumbling way to do her bidding!

In which we answer a slew of complex and multifaceted questions from Mia the Dragon to our entertainment and delight!

Damn Kids On The Lawn Again! Where'd I Put That Bazooka!

The Ancients field more questions from listeners - Subjects are: What is your ideal gaming group size range? How do you handle trading? What do you think about 'Knife Theory'? and the ever thrilling Medievalism???

The No-Bill Prize!

The Ancients decide to ignore the pleas of their listeners and ask each other questions for a change! Bill Reich had a senior moment and lost track of what day it was, but luckily Frank Filz stepped in and we had a wonderful time. It was so pleasing to ignore our listeners! It felt so... God-like! So we will be doing this more regularly! Enjoy!

Son of Return of the RPG Ancients

The Ancients talk about their most exasperating experience with players, how they deal with magic in their games, In game puzzles and riddles, and how best to track things in a game - particularly a living world sandbox type of game like we all run. All these are responses to listener questions.

The Return of the Ancients

The RPG Ancients are back! Full of something stinky and brandishing their walkers! The Ancients delve into the pile of fan mail from flounders that has been sitting around and have an unspeakable amount of fun!

The Ancient Go Off Topic... But I Digress

The Ancients have one job to do, one job! But they skitter off topic like dogs chasing squirrels! Where will they end up? On someone's lawn, protecting it from those damned kids! Somehow they wend through ancient stone age computers, maps, proportion of fighting to non-fighting in RPGs, Troupe Play, and end up with a unanimous thumbs down on Grimdark! Join the fun!

Are you Experienced? The Ancients certainly are!

The Ancient Frank could not be here this week, but wanted the other Ancients to discuss the topic of "Experience" in role-playing games. Now if there is anything Ancients are experienced about, it's Experience, and sounded like more fun than yelling at the kids to get off the lawn again!

The Ancients Go On a Quest for a Dragon

The Ancients take advantage of the innocent questions of Mia the Dragon to skitter off in nineteen different directions at once, offending everyone in the process, as is their wont!
