Hey there, space cadets! The gang finally jumps into the actually game of Fate in the Firefly ‘verse this week!

Hello space cadets! I know you want to hop into your star boat and jet into the galaxy and beyond. This is why we decided to play some gorram Firefly using the Fate system. Long story short, when we said “Let's add the Firefly tabletop game to Kickstarter!” we didn't realize that it was out of print and in some sort of legal purgatory. Fate seemed like a great way to learn a popular new system and play around in the Firefly universe. This first episode is our standard less interesting, but neces...

What a long strange trip it has been, huh gang. The beginning of the end. A climatic battle to finish off our Shadowrun campaign! This episode is full of danger, ghosts, explosions, hacking, puppies, bad rolling and more decapitations than you can shake a monofilament whip at! Standard stuff for our group of adventurers. Of course, this is not the final episode, so don't let your gaurde down! If you do, for just one moment, then everyone on the podcast will die! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Follow us on ...

This is our most drug positive episode of Drunks and Dragons Random Encounters. Sometimes when you are in the shady underground you have to pass certain tests. In this particular underground we both had to do some murder and some various future drugs. It was weird. Shadowrun is still fun and different enough to scratch that roll-player itch underneath my reinforced armor. Follow us on Twitter! Tim Lanning , Mike Bachmann , Jennifer Cheek and Michael DiMauro .

The gang is a little frazzled after their plan to retrieve the first code did not go exactly according to their … well, plan. But a proper runner group cannot be slowed down by a little blood! No, not at all. Listen as we scheme and plot our way into figuring out the yet another plan to retrieve a special fancy code. This time it is being protected by the notorious gang leader, Razor (sp?). He runs a huge section of the slums and he is not someone you want to mess with. We, of course, will be me...

Things go from bad to worse when, somehow, our plans don't go entirely according to our initial plans. But, we are smart and strong and a slight deviation is nothing to be worried about. We are runners, danger is a part of the job and frankly if we have to cut a person in half from time to time, well that is why we make the big bucks. Follow us on Twitter!

Shadowrun is cool, and you know what, we like it! We get right down to completing our mission by trying to track down our mark.

In this installment of our playthrough of Shadowrun I think we start to get a grasp of how to actually play and what makes each of our characters tick. It is still a little shaky here and there since there are so many dang rules, but Tondi does a fine job letting us feel our way through the whole experience. The crux of this episode centers around which of the targets we want to go after. Now, we are not ones to rush into a dangerous situation blindly, no siree bob, so we had to have all the top...

We hop right into Shadowrun this week on Random Encounters. Having spent hours creating our characters we were both excited and nervous about our first interactions in the Sixth World. Some of us chose to min/ max our characters, some decided to focus on a theme while others rolled a dice to figure out who they were going to be 10 minutes before the show.

Please extend your loving appreciation to Tondi ( @diceheroes ) for agreeing to join us on this dystopian adventure! In this, the first episode, we take some time out to learn about the world of Shadowrun. We knew that several of you wonderful listeners would be just as ignorant of Shadowrun as we were so we decided to make the first 2 e...

As we are preparing for the next phase of our Random Encounters based world domination we decided to check out the game Durance. From the makers of Fiasco, Durance tasks the players to make tough choices and create a harsh prison planet for your harsh prison colony to exist on. You have to choose whether you want to have a geologically stable planet with breathable air and no aliens vs being able to grow crops on a cool day and maybe have a glass of non-poison water. It is a difficult process. L...

Please only listen to this episode while you are: carving a pumpkin, trick-or-treating, stuffing straw or leaves into old clothes to make a scarecrow creature or applying stage makeup to make yourself look like a ghoul.

We did some of the planning behind the scenes, but we left a little in so that you wouldn't be totally lost. Let us know what you think! Want to add Fiasco to your gaming group? Follow this link!
