The age old debate, do we get together around a table this week or just play over the internet? Which is better, what works the most and how do I run a game in person if I don'y have a tone of mini's? Today we talk about our experience with both formats of play and the weird hybrid we created to deal with scheduling difficulties.

Ep 3. - Prep Prep Prep Oct 18, 2018

Show notes

Prepping for a game of D&D is like marmite, some Dm's (like Joe) Love it and have a full and well detailed world bible that they can read and add to and never get unhappy with. Some Dm's (Like Ben) Spend days pouring into their notes and then don't prep for a really really long time because they burnt them selfs out in the original planing session. Ben needs to prep, so to get in the zone this week we discussed how we get ready for that next big session of D&D. This weeks we dive in to the house rules every table should use... or at least house rules we think you should really consider thinking about maybe using in your game if you want. Ben talks resurrection and coming back from the dead, while Joe focuses on sending players out with a bang! Music: "Street Dancing" by Timecrawler 82 From the Free Music Archive CC by NC

Ep. 2 - Where to Start Oct 11, 2018

Show notes

So you've heard of D&D, you've seen it on the tele and you know its pretty nerdy... but how do you play, where do you find more people to form a group and what's the best product to start with? Well buckle up kids, those are the topics we're covering today, Welcome... to We Speak Common. In this weeks segment we discuss our favourite Classes and Sub classes. Ben talks all things magical with the wizards and Joe smites us all with his love for the paladin. Music: "Street Dancing" by Timecrawler 82 From the Free Music Archive CC by NC
