    Episode 7: Making Combat more intense

    For those of us who love the roleplay aspect of RPG, combat can feel like a necessary evil. But what if combat was PART of the RPG? What if combat was integrated, making it a part of the storyline. No more fighting random lions because the dm is bored, but truly fighting it out with a dad or a brother, or lover, or someone to make the story that much more intense. In this episode, Soham Manmohan and Sarah Decker discuss combat, as two players who LOVE roleplay and well-done homebrews, but honestly could do without combat a great deal of the time. Join us as we discuss Sarah fighting her dad, Soham designing battles and more, in our seventh episode to date.
