  Out of Character #2.01 – Hydras and Barghests and Chimera – Oh My!

  A new year, a new season, and a new format! Join Out of Character hosts Jupiter Sanders and Cotton for a discussion on what they believe are the top five monsters to use, or are used, in a tabletop roleplaying game.
  It can be animal, vegetable, or mineral - but to say the player isn't the most dangerous foe at the table would be Out of Character.

  Out of Character #19 – Roleplaying A Different Gender

  A checkbox on a character sheet or a meaningful choice in how you play the game, gender is a subject that catches the spotlight this week!

  OoC Host Jupiter Sanders interviews Bamce, Xarcara, and Oz about roleplaying a character whose gender is different than your own, the frequency in which each do or have done so, and the reasons why or why not.

  For some playing as another gender is Out of Character as you can get - but for some it isn't, and we support each and every one of you.

Sometimes, the answer to the question of 'what to do?' is for the game master to toss the offender out on their ear, as difficult as that may seem to accomplish.

  Out of Character #17: White Hats

  he Outlaw with a heart of gold. The Robin Hood. The Hitman with a heart. No matter the dark horse archetype, the white hat is one plenty of players like to wear when their sheet is on the table and it's time to saddle up. But - what is a White Hat? When is it preferable? When is it not? Can being too good ruin a table, or is it another step on a path to redemption?

  Out of Character #16: Season One Retrospectives: The Burning Dice Podcast
