This week's discussion topic: exile and banishment. What do you do with a bad guy that you just can't kill? And what if your hero can't return to his home? And who is that mysterious man in the iron mask that the PCs found in the dungeon?


Free RPG Day is coming up this month (on the 23rd of June, 2014), Josh and Ryan discuss their adventures in Mining and Crafting, and a bit of discussion of game design, including Dwarf Fortress.

Ryan illuminates last week's topic with an Evil Cat from The Shadow of the Cat: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055438/ and relates some of his adventures in Marvel Avengers Alliance https://www.facebook.com/avengersalliance .

In this episode, Ryan expounds on the idea of the statless curse, that ineffable essence of something just being wrong, whether it's the dwarven gold, or the too-easy dungeon maze. There just has to be a curse here somewhere, doesn't there?
