In this episode, we examine the following article by Grant at Look Robot: http://lookrobot.co.uk/2013/06/23/stanislavski-vs-brecht-in-tabletop-roleplaying/.  In short, we disagree.  Also, we have plenty of story times and lots of unnecessary cruelty to players!  Enjoy!

First of all, we would like to apologize for this second episode’s lateness.  It’s taken us a month and a half to get this episode up, which is ridiculous, and we’re sorry.  It’s been recorded for a month, but we needed to edit it and find time to record the new intro, which, again, took a long time.  Sorry!  In the future, we’re going to establish consistent release schedule (probably bi-weekly).  More on that in the next episode.

In this episode, we discuss character backstory and creation, and how to incorporate these into a campaign, both as a DM/GM/ST and as a player.  Also, we introduce our third host, who was originally supposed to be a part of this project in the first place.

Enjoy!

We are Banish DM, the role-playing and gaming podcast.  We’ll be posting our podcasts here when we make them.  This week’s episode deals with Quick and Dirty Rulesets (games that can be run with minimum prep time) and the concept of Railroading.  Also, please note that the outro has a minor error which will be corrected in the next episode.  We are not going to be posting our files on podbean, instead we’re going to be hosting them on Archive.org.  Please subscribe to our feedburner feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/banishdm
