#38 – Playin’ and Slayin’ – RPG Rituals, DungeonFog

Posted by Troy

This episode the guys cover what they have been playing, building and buying as usual, then inspired by the Critical Core game they discuss rituals in RPGs. Not “cast a spell” rituals, but those things you do (or should be doing) before, during and after each session. In “Play it or Slay it” they review DUNGEONFOG, an online map authoring tool that Ty has been trying out.
