On this episode of Polyhedron, we interview freelance tabletop developer Mike Welham. He has been tabletopping since well before it was cool (ha, cool). We talk about how he came to write for a number of indie (and not so indie) developers over the his years as well his general philosophy on designing monsters and encounters.

Episode 037: "Do you want to catch a ride?"
This week on Polyhedron we recharge our shields, load up on phat loot, and...perform a series of quicktime events and choose dialogue options. Its more exciting that it sounds, I swear Telltale games are just like that. That's right, its Tales from the Borderlands! Many EXPLOSIONS(?!) and a whole lot of feelings. We spoil the hell out of the game and talk about just how much we love it from beginning to end. We also take our usual diversions into discussions of E3 and other Telltale games.

Episode 036: "Who isn't flawed?"
Stop and consider for a moment that it is not your virtues that define you, but your flaws.
We go deep into understanding that a character's flaws help shape their persona far more than any goodly aspect. They can bring with them a lot of tension and drama, for not only the player, but the entire troupe as well. This makes them necessities for a robust table. However, too many flaws or flaws taken to their extreme can just make them a burden that saps the fun right out of the game. So sit back, relax, and try not to herd too many lama's because Polyhedron is on the air!

Episode 035: "I think the V is for Vampire?"
This week on Polyhedron, things are getting spoopy (I know what I said). It just so happens that White Wolf has announced Vampire: the Masquerade: 5th Edition, and we could not be more cautiously optimistic. We talk about everything we know so far, as well as rabid suppositions about what the future might hold for the VtM:5 rule set. Ryan also takes a lot of shots at the former editions of Masquerade, which he obviously loves. So, strap on your goth boots and pile on the eyeliner, cause we’re going to have a fangtastic time. See...its like fantastic, but with fangs...cause Vampires.

Episode 034: "Who are these guys?"
"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a man of wealth and taste."
Enough with the song lyrics. Lets get started. Our listener numbers are up and so we take a moment to reintroduce ourselves. We don't want to be strangers after all. Also, we have a friendly discussion on how media has influenced roleplaying games and how RPGs have influenced it right back. It's a peanut butter in chocolate situation. You'll love it. So without further ado. Please sit back, relax, and don't get any schmutz on the arm chair, because Polyhedron is on the air!

Episode 026: "Why so antagonistic?"
Whether your group is a plucky gang of murder hobos or a crew of super sexy vampires, RPGs aren’t very interesting without a bad guy. But what kind of bad guy? Are they a mastermind who gets others to do the fighting for them? Perhaps they’re a Warlord who wants to be king. Maybe it’s just a big damn demon who wants to do demon stuff…which is generally bad.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy these tales of incompetent villainy.

Episode 022: "What is that bear doing here?"
Why are you attacking the gazebo?
“Steve. Seriously. It’s… come on, why are you doing this? Everyone else is ready to go into the dungeon... Yes, I understand the ranger who brought us here was a bit of a jerk… Dude, for fraks sake… OK, we’re rolling initiative.”
If this sounds familiar to you, then you’ll want to listen to this episode of Polyhedron. Your three hosts have a casual discussion about problem players of various stripes and how to deal with them, both as Game Master and a fellow Player. We tackle the subject from both a table top and a LARP perspective, and break down the causes and motivations of crappy player behavior and tell a few war stories of our own. So grab your headphones, and hope that you’re not one of the people we’re talking about, Polyhedron is on the air!

Episode 019: "What questions should I ask?" w/ Michael Goodwin
Have you ever been told you ask too many questions? We’re lucky in that we haven’t - at least when it comes to our guests!
In this, the 19th episode of Polyhedron, we sit down with friend-of-the-show and all-around swell guy Michael Goodwin, who was kind enough to chew the proverbial fat regarding game design. We talk about the right questions to ask yourself when attempting to design your own tabletop game. As is so often the case, we feel we have come away from our time with Michael a bit wiser than when we sat down at the table, and we hope his insights will give you inspiration, too. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the impending expansion of your mind.
