Hex Talk

Ever wonder how hex crawls work? Want to know how to run a procedural campaign, where even you are not sure what exactly will happen? Need help getting over that initial trauma after you kill a bunch of henchmen, and probably some player characters, too? Well, this is the podcast for you. Jason, Eric and Jose discuss how they run a hex crawl campaign, and they give examples and reports from their shared-GM, hex-crawl setting, The Forlorn Shores. They also answer questions and make inappropriate comments. It's good fun.

    Hex Talk #6 – Agency and Anxiety

    “Just sit right back and you’ll hear a cast, a pod ’bout a hex or two. It’s three old nerdy white guys, hex-talking right to you.” Sing that to the theme of Gilligan’s Island. Not sure why, since we reference the Love Boat theme in this episode. Whatever. Anyways, the guys are back with another irreverent episode of Hex Talk! In episode six, Jason, Eric and Jose talk about player agency and GM anxiety, and they give underpants talks on their shared-GM hex crawl setting, The Forlorn Shores. They also answer a listener question and read some comments. This is the most important thing you’ll listen to during your morning poop, probably. Thanks for listening!
