http://diceofdoom.com/blog The Dice of Doom is a blog about gaming, being a gamer and general interest content suitable for nerds. Tue, 01 May 2012 13:26:59 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 The Dice of Doom podcast is a lively discussion about role-playing games, focusing heavily on Dungeons & Dragons, Call of Cthulhu and Warhammer along with many other gaming systems. We have been gaming for longer than we care to freely admit and we have a wide range of interests and experiences in gaming in general (everything from obscure games printed in the 1980's to the most recent tabletop wargames). We like to take a lighthearted approach to our discussions and mix them up with other nerdy news and content as well.

So with all this anticipation and excitement, did it live up to our expectations?

We also, in a first, include a conversation had about the game at the conclusion of the final session with the entire gaming group where we go through and rate the game on Character Generation, Combat System, Rules (other than combat) and Overall Fun. We also answer a listener question from the guys at Roving Band of Misfits. They ask, "Can you discuss the idea of having two different RPG groups playing the same adventure with opposing goals." Just a note about the roundtable conversation: Due to the nature of how it was recorded, this portion of the podcast does not have the same level of production values that we usually keep to in our podcast. We felt some people would find it interesting, so we have included it as it offers the opinions of our entire gaming group, rather than just those of the podcasters.

The premise of the game is simple - you and you're fellow players are all zombies trying to eat as many brains as you can without getting shotgunned. Now, with the release of the iPhone version, you can play anytime, anywhere.
