Description

The show after the show! Each month Kevin & Gabe get together after playing a specific tabletop roleplaying game system or setting and discuss the experience. We answer what is great about the system and what is not. Did combat grind the game to a halt, again? Join the conversation by calling in to reflect on your own games.

We will also be adding bonus episodes under the Analytic Dice Studio name in which Kevin interviews a creator in the tabletop roleplaying game community with such hard hitting questions as, "if you were a polyhedral die, which one would you be?"

In this 40th episode of Analytic Dice we take somewhat political call and then talk about one of our favorite games, Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars by Modiphius. Analytic Dice is a monthly podcast in which we, Kevin and Gabe, analyze a tabletop roleplaying game system or setting. Before recording each episode we will have played the specific role-playing game or setting under discussion.
