In Episode 16 of of this podcast we talked about the process of creating a Character's Backstory. But once you have that backstory, what do you do with it?
This episode we talk about how backstories are integrated into game play. We discuss the differences between writing an elaborate backstory or creating a simple character concept. Halfway though this episode we inadvertently develop a new backstory generation technique. We discuss that and more, this week on Dungeons & Tangents

Sometimes, when the mics are on, we start talking about some odd things.
And sometimes those odd things are worth sharing with our listeners.

Role-playing games have had a difficult time getting along with religion, and specifically American Christians.

We'll discuss how players become Murder Hobos, this week on Dungeons & Tangents.
