UnderDiscussion 56: Gaming Paraphernalia

Oct 032011

This week on UnderDiscussion Hooligan, Kat and Slacker join WDR and myself to talk about Gaming Paraphernalia, all the extra stuff that can improve gaming. We talk about minatures (taking the time to pimp Reaper), tokens, standees, battle maps (like Gaming Paper), cardstock terrain (like Fat Dragon), the D&D 4e terrain, Paizo Gamemastery stuff, the basics like pencils and paper, Digital stuff like character builders (Hero Lab is a good example) or digital character sheets on a laptop or tablet, the Sultan Gaming Table, and the ultimate piece of gaming paraphernalia: the custom gaming cave! We also give a shout out to Obsidian Portal and Perram’s Spellbook. This episode clocks in at just over 42 minutes.

Here are a few pictures from one of WDR’s recent HERO games. We (The Freedon League) were responding to the theft of nuclear material from a power plant and had to fight a team of Nazi Supervillians in the nearby forrest. We learned an old foe was selling advanced power armor to the highest bidder, but thanks to our mentalist we didn’t have to come to blows with “Bismarck.”
