The Glass Cannon Podcast
What is the Glass Cannon Podcast? Well, in the spirit of old school Dungeons and Dragons, a collection of five super-nerds (Joe O’Brien, Grant Berger, Matthew Capodicasa, Skid Maher, and Game Master Troy Lavallee) emerge blinking from their parents’ basements to engage in an actual play campaign of Paizo’s epic Pathfinder adventure path, Giantslayer!
A giantess reaches into the incorporeal dust that is Fairaza’s soul as the battle in the Chapel of Urgathoa continues.
Here’s the link: Episode 193: Dust Issues.
Androids and Aliens
The aforementioned GCP crew take to the stars in an all new campaign in Paizo’s newest system: Starfinder. As a direct result of the Patreon support for Glass Cannon, they’re working through the Dead Suns AP in an all new podcast, and they’ve brought along a new cast member, Ellinor Dilorenzo!
This week’s synopsis:
Chasing down the source of the sniper fire within the ancient elven statue, the team is greeted in the darkness by a grenade.
Tune in to Episode 44: Don’t Perceive the Snipe.
Fortunes Untold
Fortunes Untold is a show where a group of gamers get together and review different tabletop RPGs. But they don’t just tell you about the games, they show you how they play. The crew tries out the rules, test drives the setting, and at the end of the adventure they hand out Experience Points and see if the system levels up.
The Fortunes Untold gang finalizes their play through and review of Kids on Bikes from Renegade Games.
Wait… They had books for your phone back in the 90s? And your address was in it?! Mikey and Jack’s hunt for the matagot leads them to the town librarian’s house in the final episode of our review of Kids on Bikes.
Here it is: Episode 19!
Titans of All’Terra
The Titans of All’Terra is a podcast brought to you by Joshua Lorimer of Sneak Attack! fame. This DnD 5e actual play podcast is brand spanking new, so get in on the ground floor now! It is also 100% family friendly, so round up the kids and make this a family event. This week’s episode’s synopsis:
The battle with Miscreant continues as the twisted creature grows into something more powerful than the team anticipated…but that won’t stop them from trying to take it down.
Here is Episode 16: A Titan Encounter
Find the Path Podcast
We’ve written before about our love for Find the Path, so I’ll point you there. But the tl;dr version is that it is a live play show that is playing through the Mummy’s Mask Adventure Path for the Pathfinder RPG from Paizo. If you aren’t familiar with Mummy’s Mask, think ancient Egypt and you have the general vibe!
This week they dropped Episode 43: The One With the Feather Boa Monsters. Here’s the synopsis:
Welcome Pathfinders! Back at the Temple of Pharasma our heroes must decide how they can best help the city of Wati and gain access to the necropolis once again, but a simple (side) quest to help the local guard turns personal for one of the Doorkeepers…
Enjoy the episode here, and tell them NoE sent you!
