On April 5th, the Prismatic Tsunami web community and the cast of Metagamers Anonymous hosted yet another live event at The Burrow: Gifts for Geeks in East Wichita. It was an all-day miasma of tabletop gaming with gamers from in and around the area. As the evening drew to a close, the cast recorded a live podcast with the participation of the numerous players, GMs, and casual game enthusiasts in residence, discussing their games, drawing prizes, and generally having a good time.  Afterwards, Erik and the ladies from Geek Chic sat down the next morning to discuss the event.  Enjoy!

In our fifty-second regular episode of Metagamers Anonymous, the cast dives back into the psychological brain bin and drums up a discussion on applying Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to the art of character development.  They also banter about the applications of thematic versus generic game systems, wax philosophical about indie gaming, and delve into the high concept of catharsis through roleplaying.  It’ll mess with ya.  Metagamers Anonymous is a weekly podcast dedicated to tabletop roleplaying games and (mostly) related material.  Join in the fun by posting comments or questions to our forum, or drop us a line at feedback@prismatictsunami.com.

In our landmark fiftieth regular episode of Metagamers Anonymous, the cast tackles the complex question of how to prepare for a new campaign, what to look for in a campaign pitch, and how to extrapolate genuine opportunities from an idea to help make a campaign successful.  The cast also reads a couple of emails, talks about some exciting systems they’d like to try, and waxes predictably anecdotal about some of their recent gaming activities.  Metagamers Anonymous is a regular podcast dedicated to tabletop roleplaying games and (mostly) related material.
