    Hello again, one and all, this is Coarey here for the GameKnights. We finally saved that pesky little dwarf and this week things are better, no more derailments. We back on track (as close as we ever get to that). We got loot, and a brand new mission that seems just a little too easy. So join us for this weeks tale Of Treasure and Traps!

    Things to apologize for:
    Not too much. Tried to make the sound as good as possible, so I hope you enjoy it.

    The In-Jokes:
    Lawyer Joe!- Recently while at dinner at a friends house we were talking about different creative ideas and Joe kept saying that he had had that idea and that he was going to sue us for all the different ideas. He was joking and we were having fun laughing and after another declared lawsuit by Joe I improvised my variation to the G.I. Joe cartoon theme singing, “Lawyer Joe! A litigation hero, Lawyer Joe is there!”

Tales From the Table

In todays Tales I'd like to hear stories of humorous moments in campaigns or about a humor campaign. I'm going to share one of from a friend of mine. Their GM had set up this adventure where they had entered this town where everyone was "happy" almost to the point of tears and there were these giant white fuzzy...things...like cartoony mascots walking around hugging people. When the mascots would hug people they would whimper "Kill me" or "Help me". Come to find out the town was under the rule of a tyranical dictator who demanded happiness and if anyone defied his rule they got turned in to the white fluffy "Huggy Mascots" for all eternity. so their job was to bring down the happiness empire!

If you've got a great Tale to share, post it below. Or e-mail it to us at GameKnightsPodcast@gmail.com and I'll put it up for you!

Tuesday Tip of the Week

Be sure to inject some humor in your campaigns. If you've listened to our podcast, you know all too well, that we don't take ourselves too seriously. Our GM's usually are sure to put that one situation in there to try and throw us off and make us laugh or shake or head at what we have to deal with. Try running a humorous campaign sometime, an entire ongoing, absurd, series of adventures. It's a nice refreshing twist from having to save the seriousness of having to save the world all the time. Give it a go sometime.

If you have a good role-playing tip or idea, share it with us at GameKnightsPodcast@gmail.com and maybe I'll use it for the Tuesday Tip of the Week, and give you the credit to boot.

Hello again, this is Coarey for the GameKnights. As you can surmise by this weeks title our derailed train is still off course. Not horrible, but you can tell that towards the end of this episode Justin had had just about enough herding the cats. Will we ever save this dwarf? Who knows, but you can slap on your headphones and find out if we find him or if we're Still Wrecking.

Things to apologize for:
Nothing that hasn't been said before

The In-Jokes:
Here comes the German!-A couple of years ago, on a New Years Eve, we were at a friends house just having a quiet party. We were playing cards, talking, snacking, and having a few drinks. Things were pretty tame, and after midnight, my wife and I left only to have missed the nights real entertainment. Dan shortly after midnight had gotten completely drunk. According to our friend who was still with Dan, he said that Dan sat down on the couch and start watching Comedy Central. He then began shouting in German at the shows (Dan does know some German, so he wasn't possessed). Later in the evening I believe there was also some puking, but the German story overshadows that.

The infamous ninja-to story-This is what happened. My girlfriend and I were lounging on my bed. To really set the scene, we were laying across the width of the bed not the length, so our legs we hanging over the edge with our toes near the floor. As we laying there a friend of ours walks in an picks up this ninja-to sword I have on my shelf. He then eyes us mischievously and pretends like he's going to attack us. Now he's standing where our feet are, and after he lowers the sword (which I thought was at his side) I thought I'd pretend to attack him by lifting my foot up towards his unprotected crotch. Well the sword's blade wasn't at his side as I thought, it was across his lower legs and as I raised my foot I sliced my middle toe open, an injury that required more than a dozen stitches. Never let anyone tell you that a cheap piece of shit sword isn't functional, I've stubbed my toe harder than my toe hit this thing, I had barely even moved my foot. Now this story, as my friends enjoy making it out, was that I seemed to have wanted to intentionally kick the blade like I was trying to me Mr. Macho or something. I'll be first to agree, that you should never try and kick anyone holding a sword, no matter where you think the blade may be, but it was an accident.

A new weapon for Aaron- Aaron was a guy we play D&D with off an on and in one particular game he played a gladiator, using the Dark Sun rules so that he could be proficient with any weapon. We weren't playing Dark Sun, just using the character kit. Well he was pretty happy with his character, at first, but then he felt he needed his own signature weapon. Proudly he presented his idea to us...a rock...tied to a rope. I can see the brutality of such a weapon, of course, but when I asked him why not just used a flail or chain whip, he felt those weapons did not offer the menacing image that the rock and rope concept seemed to embody. <Shrug> ok...

This is Coarey again with episode three, hopefully more entertaining than what Lucas had to offer. Fresh off of our most recent, and seriously strange, quest; we've returned to the town we were called to as heroes. Well...we returned. We were a hero to one person, who paid us a total of fifteen gold...each! WE'RE RICH BIOCH! So what do we do? Buy new stuff? Drink? Dance? Get it on? Find out in our latest installment Happily Hog-Tied!

 

Some things I need to apologize for:

I have a cold, so if you hear me sneezing or blow my schnoz, I apologize for it. I was a bit under the weather. This also accounts for why I was talking a bit soft, so, sorry for that.

 

The In-Jokes:

The High-Low Pregnancy Test- Many moons ago in someone's game, I can't exactly remember who started it, might have been me. Some of the players at the table decided to start boinkin' barmaids and so the GM (possibly myself) asked them to choose high or low, and then he rolled percentile. If they called the percentage right (under 50 low, over 50 high) then they were safe. If they called it wrong, a little bundle of joy would be on the way sometime in the future.

Tales From the Table

It's Thursday and time for Tales From the Table! It's your chance to share a role-playing game story from one of your sessions, and I'll share one of mine.

For today's tale I have decided to tell you all "The end is near!"

I was playing in a game and running a priestess, who was less than morally bound. The party and I had been asked to undertake a task in the capital city, that went not at all as planned. Needless to say we attracted the attention of the city guard and were on the run. We decided to try and hide out in an abandoned building in the poor section of town. As we were waiting it out quietly, our scout alerted us that an old woman was walking through the streets opening doors and shouting out to anyone she saw, "You there, the end is near!" To make matters worse, the city guard was in the neighborhood.

It was the consensus of the party that if she opened the door, saw us, and shouted, "The end is near!" She would be giving the guards a heads up people were in this building. In the midst of our frustrations of whether to wait it out or risk escape I made the declaration that if she opened the door, I was going to kill her!

Right on cue, the old woman opened the door, and shouted those all too familiar words. True to my word, and throwing any form of caution right out the window, I marched out in to the street and clubbed her to death with my mace. The GM then proceeded to act out her final moments saying with each of my blows she continued shouting, "The end is near! The end is near! The end is near!" and finally ending with, "THE END IS HERE!". and died.

Then the town folks came out and surrounded me, none too happy with my actions, and a man asked me. "Why have you killed our Oracle?!"

I immediately answered. "I was fulfilling a prophecy."

Laughter ensued at the table, the GM included. The people then became impressed by me and saw me as their new Oracle. I went along with it, why not, it got us safety from the guards because I convinced my subjects the guards were corrupt. So the moral of the story is this, at least it is for me, if you can make the GM laugh you just might live to tell the tale.
