Episode 81 – Thac0: The Movie

In the time that we here at To-Ag Studios have been recording, we’ve taken our fair share of shots to the chin, as individuals and as a group. This week, not only did we take that shot again, it was followed by a shin-kick to the groin and a wet-willy to boot. Join us this week as we take an errant trip down the rabbit hole resulting in a questionable experience with Thac0: The Movie. Take inventory of your dice, be sure to steam-clean your gaming cloak, and whatever you do… don’t hassle Neil Gaiman as you prepare for a brand new episode of Monkey in the Cage!

Episode 78 – NPC’s, Allies, and Adversaries

NPCs; they are the lifeblood of any adventure, campaign, or gaming world. Sure, the story is created by the actions of the Player Characters, but without NPCs, who would the heroes turn to for help, sell all their (sometimes ill-gotten) treasures off too, or shiv prison-style in a back-alley for some easy XP? Join us this week as we jump back almost two decades to discuss some of the memorable NPCs – allies, adversaries, and otherwise – from our epic AD&D 2nd Edition campaign! Ready your fantasy cellphones, lock down that split-personality disorder, and for the sake of your family take out a life insurance policy as you prepare for an all new episode of Monkey in the Cage!

We here at To-Ag studios say “We need more money, dammit!” Join us this week as we discuss what we would do if we suddenly woke up and found endless amounts of disposable income at our fingertips. Sure, sure, world peace, green energy, and wiping out starvation are important, but we’re talking REALLY important stuff. Fire up your jet-packs, call in the contractors, and get ready to game until your eyes, ears, and fingers bleed as we talk instant geek riches on a whole new episode of Monkey in the Cage!

Which decade was the best decade? That’s right, it was the 80′s…. NOT! Sure, the 80′s may have been aiight, but back in the day, we were all that and a bag of chips. Don’t believe us?

Playing the Anti-Hero – It Feels So Good to be Such a Jerk

Do you ever want to just punch someone in the face, insult them for no reason, or just plain shoot them from under the table mid-sentence? Sure, we all do, but in both the real world and the game world, this can bring about a whole slough of consequences. Luckily, around the gaming table, Player’s are free to test the limits of societal norms and common decency, and as every GM knows, Players don’t just test those boundaries, they obliterate them. Recently, I’ve assumed the anti-hero archetype in a game, and I have to admit, I might be enjoying it a little too much.

Episode 56 – Japan, You Crazy!

Well, today is election day in the United States. The day we finally find out how pissed we actually get if our candidate loses, how screwed we are if this proposition passes or that measure fails, and threats to move to Canada start flying faster than mashed potatoes in a cafeteria food-fight. But, do not despair, for not only do we stop being bombarded with political ads, we here at To-Ag Studios bring you a bolt of crazy awesomeness to brighten your day. Join us this week as we discuss our fascination with the insanity that is Japanese pop-culture! Hold on tight to your companions pillows, because it’s about to get crazier than a vending machine dressed as a tentacled school-girl on this week’s unintentionally (but probably) offensive episode of Monkey in the Cage!
