Dungeon Master's Corner 2

These questions come straight from Pateon and are not edited for spelling or grammar. They are listed in the order they are answered.

 * 1) I think I remember Noah saying he enjoyed Snowcrash and Neuromancer. Maybe a Cyberpunk 2020 game in the future?
 * 2) How do you find DMing for the podcast different from DMing for a regular group? I ask specifically because I LOVE the story aspects of real play podcasts but I find I rarely get the same type of story pay-off in regular groups that I play with. Also, can we get the bread chart?
 * 3) Is D&D the best game to get people started on tabletop RPGs? I have friends who I know would want to play but they shy away from the D&D label.
 * 4) What are any recommendations for a first time RPG player with a 14 year old son that would also love to play? Sci-Fi preferable, but any recommends are appreciated.
 * 5) Will there be more Lasers and Feelings? Or was that just a one of? Also, how long do you guys usually play for? Can you get multiple episodes from one session or is there too much banter and newbie questions? How much gets editted out for the sake of the listener?
 * 6) Any idea when livestreams will start?
 * 7) Are you guys using maps during your play sessions or is everything theater of the mind? And could you discuss what you think are the pluses and minuses of each type of play?
 * 8) I love character creation, I find it fun but other people think it's a drag. What is it like for you to create a character for the game or show?
 * 9) Any plans to have a creature that poops tar, awakes every two hours to perform a psychic attack, and enthralls its victims?
 * 10) I really struggle DMing the more role playey bits. my group are pretty novice (to be fair so am I) and everyone now seems to know what they are doing in a fight but getting then to actually "role play" is like pulling teeth. I'm currently trying to do a little bit of a mystery but find myself needing to spoonfeed things because everyone starts to get frustrated if they don't know exactly where/what they should no next. any suggestions?
 * 11) How do you feel about the recent discussions to remove the crit fail? Some people think that it's rediculous that 5% of the time,an otherwise competent person (character) would utterly and completely fail at a task. How do you personally handle a 1?
 * 12) I’m the only one in my family who is into D&D. Are there any online gaming groups you know of that are reputable and open to new players? I would be ok with Skype wir something like that. Thanks!!
 * 13) Are there going to be guest appearances on the show for specific episodes or arcs because I know I would really enjoy that.
 * 14) How do you keep things from going totally off the rails in these games? I don't mean pushing them to their next plot point, but with things like Morgan stealing robes and jumping out of windows.
 * 15) Are you a fan of MCDM? If so, have you seen  the latest video on D&D’s inherent racist and conservative biases? I’ve been grappling with the implications of that, and real Eli seems like the kind of person who would have thoughts.
 * 16) What is your favorite real play podcasts? I started listening to adventure zone after the last Dungeon Master's Corner and am now looking for something new.
 * 17) Does Morgan/Caw actually have 10 wisdom or did you not include his wis mod in his monk defence
 * 18) How do you handle a player who isn't honest with their rolls and how does Heath react?
 * 19) As a DM where do you draw the line when trying to include representation in your NPCs? When I DM I try to include different genders, sexualities etc, both as villians and heros but still shrink away from playing characters from outside a traditional western culture, because... it feels weird. Any thoughts or suggestions?
 * 20) Are you guys using any alternate rules like feats or are you sticking purely to the vanilla rules?
 * 21) I'm excited to add asswolves into my family's D&D game. What is the best way to introduce asswolves to new players?
 * 22) What would you recommend for a first time adventure writer?
 * 23) Eli, have you ever fudged a DM dice roll to better the game play or save a player?
 * 24) Have you tried Starfinder (based on Pathfinder).  I’ve played it twice and liked it
 * 25) Will the music of D and D Minus be added to the eventual PiaT song collection? Or would you consider releasing the on songs on their own as patron only tracks?
 * 26) How do you balance reminding players of their character's inventories and abilities without tipping your hand as to what you have planned for the adventure/episode?
 * 27) How many voices and accents can you do, and what will happen when you run out?
 * 28) Favourite monster?
 * 29) How much time do you spend prepping between sessions hr/day & hr/ week and developing an overall framework for your overall story?
 * 30) Did you ever have a moment while playing or DMing wher you became truly angry at the game or another player?
 * 31) Can we get more original music? The interludes are one of my favorite parts of the pod.
 * 32) Not all creatures naturally produce lactase. I'm not sure if Dave can eat cheese, but I have a feeling that it could become an issue.
 * 33) Since Carl is a demon in this universe, does he have feathery wings like other Carls, or bat like wings?
 * 34) Any plans on taking your party to the underdark? Also how long do you plan on doing this campaign? You gonna start a new one at the end or have them continue with a new story and harder enemies like Gith?
 * 35) Are we bad parents for letting our kids (10 and 12) listening to D&D Minus?
 * 36) Will Heath get a comeuppance or redemption arc for being boastfully ignorant of the rules? I've just gone back to being a DM for the first time in ten years and Heath's behavior is making me pretty anxious.
