The Catch Up On Feedback Episode Yes, we're still podcasting! Thanks to everyone who cared enough to email us and ask if we are both still alive. But really, rumors of the demise of the ExemplaryDM podcast are mostly exaggerated. In this episode we respond to listener emails in a number of ways, including some inspiration from LinkedIn spam, responding to listening feedback, cordially...

Season 2, Episode 6

exemplarydm@gmail.com (The Exemplary DM Podcast) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 18:45:41 PST

This episode focuses on the Delve game format, a concept that has been pushed forward by DND 4th edition but is good for any gaming system. The idea is to have a combat-only, role playing-lite three-battle night that focuses on education for new players, ground-breaking for experienced players, solid experience for new DM's and fun for everyone.

As in, yes, we're still alive. And yes, we've got plenty of ideas for a whole slew of podcasts. If podcast ideas were cats, we'd be widowed spinsters. With lots of cats. And we've been playing DND recently too, campaigns and delves alike. Check out some of our picture tweets. And we've been enjoying pleasant repartee with our tweety friends, and...

Podcasting Progress Goes "Boink"

exemplarydm@gmail.com (The Exemplary DM Podcast) — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 18:32:01 PST

Just checking in with some updates and pics. We don't update this blog nearly as often as we tweet. If you like our blog posts, you'll probably get sick of our tweets! One of the reasons why is that we're both pretty flippin busy people, what with Chad and his advanced studies in underwater basketweaving and William working for "the man". Twitter is stupidly easy to update,...

Jinx, buy me a podcast

exemplarydm@gmail.com (The Exemplary DM Podcast) — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 23:31:49 PST

So, I totally jinxed us a few weekends ago with a premature tweet on recording. We didn't, and we've been so stupid busy that we haven't gotten a chance to record. We have played a little (will post pics) in our respective campaigns but no recording... yet. Pardon us for not recording at Chad's Halloween party too... we totally could have done a remote podcast. Oh well. ...

Reaper Ron - solving all my figurine problems (well, just the one, really)

exemplarydm@gmail.com (The Exemplary DM Podcast) — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:23:31 PDT

William here, just oversharing a bit. I ordered a dragonborn-ish looking figurine for my upcoming dragonborn fighter/rogue hybrid character for Chad and Ian's startup. I wanted Golanth, with the optional "boneyard" piece to give the fig a left-hand sword instead of a left-hand shield. Read more »
