We successfully played an evil aligned party on a campaign for seven years & we are still friends! Learn what we did right, wrong, & the best way to run an evil themed adventure.
Description:
We happily played an evil aligned 3.5 campaign for seven years. We recorded it as an actual play podcast that can be found at Geekspective.com. By taking a break from the campaign, we were able to look back and reflect about our game. Obviously, we got some things right; the party didn’t fall apart, we didn’t murder each other, end up in prison, and we had a lot of fun. Our evil characters are the most memorable characters that we’ve ever played. But there are other lessons that we had to learn the hard way, things that we should have done differently or not at all. Through it all, we have found a few pointers to help your game last for more than a few sessions. Learn from our experience in order to GM or play an evil aligned campaign, the most fun and successful campaign you will ever have.

If your tabletop RPG seems dull, one problem could be the characters. Learn how to create more vibrant characters with more personality. We will help you put the ‘role’ back into role-playing!
Description:
At geekspective.com, we firmly believe that role-playing characters are more than stats on a character sheet. Early RPGs didn’t encourage personality, favoring maps and equipment lists. The latest generation of RPGs, however, encourage storytelling and social role-play. If you aren’t sure how to adapt to a new system that requires more role-play, or just love the idea of more vivid and interesting characters, this is the discussion for you! We make actual play podcasts which requires us to create voices for our characters. That helps, but adding personality traits, interesting possessions, and personality quirks in addition to those voices, your characters will become much more fun and your RPG sessions will too.
