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.

Welcome to your Fourth episode of Geek Chic, a podcast for girls, geeks and everything in between. In this episode, Liz, Lin and I discuss what trends have been forecasted in the gaming world, both RPG & Video, and where we see these trends headed.

It should be noted that these are opinions not fact, even if we tend to present them that way.

As a final P.S. Thanks to everyone who has waited so patiently for this episode to come out. Hopefully the weather and immune systems will be with us and it won’t take over a month to get an episode out again. – Jonikka~

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.
