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!
This week’s synopsis:
As the heroes continue their delve into the strange tomb within the mountain, they are greeted by more of its strange inhabitants.
Here’s the link: Episode 179: Y Tu Mammoth También.
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:
The crew of the Sarissa arrives in Castrovel to far less fanfare than they received upon returning to Absalom Station.
Tune in to Episode 30: Unwelcome to the Jungle.
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.
This week, they wrap up their adventures with Dead Gentleman’s Demon Hunters system. Here’s the synopsis:
Do you have a leprechaun stuck up in your tree? Do you think that sinkhole off of I-30 might actually be a Hellgate? Would Santa Clara be perfect except for all the damn vampires? Then you need The Brotherhood of the Celestial Torch.
They’re not the police. They’re not the army. They’re Demon Hunters. Here’s the thrilling conclusion!
Here it is: Episode 5!
