Qt3 Games Podcast: the cows play D&D

Posted by on April 4, 2012 in Game Podcasts

This week we are joined by Rudy Basso, a member in good standing of the comedy troupe Cows Come Home and the author of Farming Vader, a series of short stories about Star Wars: Old Republic. We discuss Rock Band: Blitz, the upcoming facelift for Anarchy Online, the Leisure Suit Larry kickstarter, and then our picks for game of the week. We should warn you that Rudy does some weird jujitsu by picking a subscription based hybrid of computer game and tabletop RPG. Mass Effect 3 isn’t mentioned even once.

    I’m curious how they’ll transition the Virtual Tabletop to Fifth Edition  D&D (or D&D Next, or whatever they’re calling it now) now that they’ve pulled the plug on 4th Edition. I’m sad it didn’t come out when it was originally scheduled…but hearing Rudy’s discussion almost makes me want to jump back in.

    That said there are a handful of other good VT clients which aren’t necessarily tied to D&D. Our online group has been using Epic Table (which is free, BTW) to run Dresden Files, and there are some neat things happening with Google Plus as well.

    I’m really curious about Epic Table. I’ve been messing with the D&D stuff and it’s pretty cool.

    also 10 bucks a month, not 15 as we thought

    I would like it known that I knew the frequency of a Groaning Spirit and what a Xorn looks like. But I said 8+8 HD for the umber hulk, and I thought the Ogre Mage had some psychic ability (possibly Ego Whip or Id Insinuation), so I feel my nerd has failed me.

    You would kind of think the Ogre Mage would have some sort of psychic ability.

    I know! What sort of slacker ogre mage are we dealing with, here?
