Ray and Tyler discuss two of the most common modes of role-playing games: the long form campaign and the short form one-shot. Each mode has its relative strengths and weaknesses, so we discuss them for anyone who’s yet to try one or the other. Turns out that the two complement each other pretty well, and it’s not so surprising they’re possibly the two most common and well-known of role-playing modes.

The grim reaper leaps in the air, strumming a power chord on his scythe-guitar.In episode 58 of Carnagecast, we talk about A Fistful of Carnage, the game convention Carnage held at Killington, Vermont last month. Yes, it’s been a month. We’ve recovered and are back, ready to talk about the fun we had and games in general in the coming year. Highlights of the weekend include, but are not limited to: the resurgence of interest in Dungeons & Dragons with the arrival of the fifth edition, Golden Goblin Press running Call of Cthulhu, Andre Kruppa’s own Lucid Dreams game, the pageantry of Miss Phoebe’s steampunk LARP and the metamorphosis of Gygax Magazine’s pub quiz into the less explicable pub calvinball.
