Show Recaps

Here are summaries of new episodes from Misdirected Mark Productions this past week:

Mastering Dungeons – Fifth Edition Revisited, Pt. 11
Taking a look at the Expert Classes from the upcoming One D&D, Shawn and Teos break down the new options for these classes. Are they better? Are they worse? Are they balanced or broken? The analysis of One D&D continues!

Bonus Experience 05×12 – Character Development (feat. Terry Robinson)
This is the final episode of Season Five. Terry joins Monica again with the second half of their very long conversation about experiences with gaming and new people. 
Today we talk about character development in RPGs: what that means, what people want when they say they’re into it, and how games do and don’t support character growth over time. It’s a very interesting discussion and a perfect send-off for our fifth season. 

Misdirected Mark #490 – The Doldrums
No matter how good people are at scheduling their games, there are times when life intrudes. It’s nothing new, and that means we miss a game here and there. But I have to ask – what happens when a few missed games go back to back and it’s been weeks, or even a month since you got to game? You start feeling that blah, and kinda drained. An apathy sets in along with the fear that you’ll never game again.
That’s the Doldrums.
On this episode, we’ll be talking about the Doldrums, the effect they can have on us, and ways we can fight those feelings.

GNOMECAST #150 – Riddle Me This
What tries to be a short-form thing, while also diving into a deeply embedded aspect of gaming that can also be considered highly annoying? Well an episode of the Gnomecast talking about Riddles of course!

Panda’s Talking Games 292 – Analysis Paralysis
Show us how you handle analysis paralysis! Senda and Phil talk some reasons why analysis paralysis can happen, and some ideas about how to address them. (Hint: it’s not always just overthinking!)
