Episode 69 – Mundane vs. Powered

Mundane vs. Powered

When it comes to tabletop RPGs, the world the game is set in usually dictates the choices a Player has for their characters (We all like to break the rules – and game – sometimes).  Seeing as their are LITERALLY and endless supply of gaming worlds (thanks imagination!), that also means there should be endless options for characters, but we here at To-Ag studios are going to keep it simple.  Join us this week as we discuss two opposites on the heroic spectrum and weigh in on mundane and powered Player Characters and the worlds they wreak havoc in.  Put in your storytelling caps, suppress your inner munchkin, and get ready to face the music on a whole new episode of Monkey in the Cage!

My Top 6 Gaming Moments of 2012

Critical Hit Bears

2013 is only about a week old, so I feel it’s still young enough in the year to reflect on my personal top five gaming moments of the year past.  2012 was surely filled with plenty of gaming – from board games and video games to RPGs and podcasts – so I thought I should give a nod to those out there that made last year one of (if not THE) best years in gaming I’ve had.  The following are in no particular order.

064 MayanzWell, boys and girls, another year has come to an end.  2012 has been good to us over here at the podcast, and we hope all of our efforts have brought you a great many laughs this past year.  Behind us lies a failed apocalypse, crappy politics, and an awesome year of geekdom.  We don’t know what all 2013 has in store for us, but you better believe it’s going to have some kick-ass geek times, sweet movies, and MORE PODCASTS!  Join us this week as we B.S. our way into the New Year and talk about whatever randomness comes to mind.  Throw away that useless old Mayan Calendar, cast aside those unneeded show-runners, and pimp out your E-Z Bake oven as you prepare your ears for a brand new episode of Monkey in the Cage!

Are Horror Settings the Best Settings?

Last week, we delved into the topic of Horror in Gaming on the podcast, so, in the spirit of Halloween and in keeping with our creepy theme for the month I figured I would revisit my “Are *blank* Settings the Best Settings” opinions and go a little more in-depth into my thoughts on the topic.  Also, the fact that we’ve restarted Karen’s World of Darkness / Hunter: The Vigil game, it seems to be more than appropriate.

Episode 53 – Horror in Gaming

With Halloween fast approaching it would be remiss of us here at… wait.  Did you hear that?  Was that a scream, or just the wind?  Hmmm… maybe we should split up and investigate to cover more ground, or better yet stick together and try to survive!  Join us this week as we get more into the mood for the bestest of best holidays and talk about the joining of two exciting forms of entertainment – Horror and Gaming!  We cover it all, with some wackiness in between, so make sure your cardio is up, bring along some competent friends, and be careful of fatal camera angles as we talk Horror in Gaming on this week’s episode of Monkey in the Cage!

Episode 50 – Why We Love RPGs

Of the multitude of geek hobbies and influences that guide the MITC crew through their everyday lives, there is one in particular that has served as glue to keep us together.  It’s the ketchup to our mustard, the salt to our pepper, the dungeon to our dragon, and while we’ve talked about it plenty, our listener David from Quebec wants to know more!  Join us this week as we open up, share our feelings, and discuss what it is about role playing games that “does it” for us.  Snatch up those character sheets, buy some new sets of dice, and get ready for some sexual tension on an all new episode of Monkey in the Cage!
