Join the gang this week as we take a look at the DLC phenomenon that has manifested (and plagued) this generation of gaming. Access to this week’s topic discussion is also now available for the low low price of $14.99! So get those credit cards out and let’s do some microtransacting!

But first, Kyle, David, and Penrod set sail on the MOBA boat. We have a legit League of Legends hour, Penrod looks on disapprovingly as Kyle plays DOTA, and everyone is in disbelief that we never knew how amazing Awesomenauts is. Plus Aaron tries to survive in Metro 2033, and we all try to find the challenge in Crysis 2. Thanks for the money!

In our thirty-seventh regular episode of Metagamers Anonymous, the cast anecdotally explores the complex challenges of introducing large-scale conflicts into an immersive RPG experience.  They also talk briefly about the new Lords of Waterdeep expansion, mull over the story application of traps in RPGs, read some listeners emails, and visit with one of the locally infamous D20 Girls about an upcoming charity event. Metagamers Anonymous is a weekly podcast dedicated to tabletop roleplaying games and (mostly) related material.
