  • Siskoid has finally bowed down to public pressure and produced an episode about Dungeons & Dragons.

  • For the first time, Let's Roll discusses a role-playing game Siskoid has never played.

Then, Siskoid talks about creating diceless moments for players in out GM Advice column.

  • Dream Park - it's a series of novels by Larry Niven and Steven Barnes ABOUT the future of role-playing, and then turned INTO a postmodern role-playing game by R. Talsorian Games. Siskoid not only ran this game for years, but also modified it considerably to suit his purposes. He re-invited one of his key players, Daniel "Pout" Ouellet, to discuss the experience of playing a player put through his paces by a GameMaster played by a GameMaster. It gets META! Plus, our GameMaster Advice column, and your feedback from the previous episode.

  • Next up on Let's Roll, Siskoid and his players Daniel Ouellet and Alexandre Hébert discuss GURPS Old West, where the latter two played brothers, and Siskoid started a cross-genre story that is sure to get more play on future episodes. But for now, what is GURPS? How do you role-play a western? And in the GameMaster Advice column, how much should you plan, and how much can you improvise?
