Here’s the story so far: between real life work, my daughter almost endlessly bringing home some plague or other from school, and other real life issues, I have been making some good progress on DPnP. I have designed and implemented a shopping tool that is very easy to use, but was a completely horrible chore to implement properly. That single feature alone pretty much took a month of work to get rolling along. However, the final product is pretty sweet. That alone might be news but it was just a milestone. That milestone achieved I figured its time to get this bad boy ready for prime time. However, that requires some pretty strong real world testing, and this time I am doing it with some very well planned structure, as well as unrolling the final part of the entire DPnP package – the Sagas RPG Nexus.

The 5th episode of Dungeons and Doritos is the first episode featured using the E-RPG rules system. This episode also features the debut of Ruel Knudson, Sagas RPG creator and the developer of the E-RPG system, as the new Game Master for the show. Ruel runs the Sidetrack Adventure “The Unkindness of Ravens”. This episode was an audition of sorts that wasn’t intended for public release. Lucky for us Nerdy Show changed their minds!

I just got the email verifying tomorrow’s recording session and I am very excited about it. The excitement is only somewhat marred by the state of DPnP, which I had hoped to have more accomplished by then. Some of the things I was hoping to use are still not complete, such as the virtual GM screen, but that’s ok. It won’t hurt the show, or the game at all. The characters in the show have been almost completely converted. I mean almost because there is some little hiccups here and there with the character sheets I have to iron out before then. Still, the show’s a go and you will be able to hear a recorded game session using Fantasy Sagas RPG rules and get a glimpse of how it is played from the creator’s point of view .Avid players may find some things strange when I play, however. Despite my having created the rules, you will likely find I am not overly strict in the implementation of them. So, I thought for those players already familiar with the game you may want to know how/why I am running the game as I am going to.

This is a big week for me. First I am getting the big press pack for DPnP ready. More importantly, however, is that I will be recording my first official episode of Dungeons and Doritos with the good folks at The Nerdy Show. I’ll be running the game, and we will be using E-RPG rules. I am spending the week working on some software issues and transferring the characters from DnD rules to E-RPG. Furthermore, if all goes well, there may be some big news coming from there as well. And then there is…
