Gaming With Gage + Friends

Welcome back to the Gaming With Gage, your podcast for roleplaying games and the periphery. Thank you for being here for the finale of our first season. It’s been such a wonderful experience and I’m so grateful for all of the positive feedback we’ve received. I’ve had the opportunity to chat with some of my favorite creators about my favorite topics and I’ve been able to share that with you. It’s truly been my pleasure. For the Season Finale we’re going to actually be Gaming With Gage. For some of our listeners who are completely new to gaming, who have reached out with questions, you have been heard. Hopefully this brief Actual Play with fan favorite and my wife, Amanda Verronneau, will give you a snapshot of what tabletop roleplaying game can be.  In this showcase you’ll hear Amanda’s character, Agatha Nolan, drop into a crazy world where nothing is like it seems. You know, Boston. We used Pinnacle Entertainment Group’s Savage Worlds system for this game and if it strikes your fancy you should definitely try it out.   These showcase episodes are a new thing for us so let us know what your thoughts are. If you enjoy them we may have some more in Season 2, Let us know what you think on Our Website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Discord! Please subscribe, rate and review the show on iTunes and Android Subscribe on Apple Podcast Subscribe on Android We’ll be back on June 4 with Season 2 of Gaming With Gage Now let’s jump into Episode 16 - Showcase Session 1 

Welcome back to the Gaming With Gage, your podcast for roleplaying games and the periphery. Thanks for being here. This week we have a very special episode for you. We’ve received a bit of feedback from listeners who are completely new to gaming and a bit confused about how it works. So to cap out season 1 we decide to actually do some Gaming With Gage. To help us out with what we’re calling our Showcase Episode, we brought back one of our most popular guests, my wife Amanda Verronneau. In this episode you’ll hear us create Amanda’s character, Agatha Nolan, as well as craft the world we’re going to play in, using Pinnacle Entertainment Group’s Savage Worlds. Parts of this episode are cut together like a montage in the interest of time. Next episode, our Season Finale, will be a one session actual play with Amanda and myself. Hopefully this will be entertaining and illuminating for fans new and old. Just so you know, Amanda was very tired and very pregnant when we recorded this. I’m so thankful to have a partner who, at 9 months pregnant and at the end of a full work week, was still willing to sit down and have play time with me. I love you Amanda and thank you. If this Showcase  is something that sparks your interest, maybe we’ll see some more showcase episodes in Season 2, Let us know what you think on Our Website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Discord! Please subscribe, rate and review the show on iTunes and Android Subscribe on Apple Podcast Subscribe on Android Now let’s jump into Episode 15 - Showcase Session 0
