Conjurations 2011 official podcast bumper (English)

04/16/11 • -1 min

>Conjurations is a game convention for fans of roleplaying games (RPGs), miniatures wargames, collectible card games, non-collectible card games, board games, live action roleplaying games (LARPs), and similar hobbies. Running over the course of two days (the weekend of May 14-15 2011), its goal is to put as much fun and as much variety as possible for enthusiasts of the hobby under one roof. It is held in the reception room of The Church of St. John The Evangelist ("The Red Roof Church"), at 137 President Kennedy, conveniently located in downtown Montreal at the corner of President Kennedy and Kimberley (which is between St-Urbain and Jeanne Mance). For more information: www.ggconventions.comYou are encouraged to place this into your podcast as often as you like up to and including the date of the convention. Just download the MP3 file.

Previous Episode

DiceCast Episode 13: Dark Dungeons!

In this episode, we interview Andrew and JD from Boolean Union about their recent animated film adaptation of the infamous Jack Chick tract "Dark Dungeons." Their work is a serious adaptation of a work that is inherently funny. It is produced to a very high level of quality. We found Andrew and JD to be as animated as their movie, articulate, and perceptive in our interview. And for the record, they are not in the least bit "anti-game."
In brief, "Dark Dungeons" is a short comic book (called a "tract") about a teenaged girl who gets swept away into the occult from playing a fictitious RPG called "Dark Dungeons" (which, as described, is D&D in all but name). The comic contains a number of amusing misconceptions about RPGs, including the notion that players can start to believe that they really are their characters or that the goal of RPGs is to make people learn how to cast "real spells." It has gained a cult following among roleplayers for its humor value.
