Hey all, for those of you new I'd like to introduce you to the Roll For Combat Actual Play Podcast!

So what are you playing on the podcast?
Currently, we have two actual play podcasts -- the Starfinder Dead Suns Adventure Path and The Fall of Plaguestone Pathfinder Adventure. You can find them both here:
• Starfinder Dead Suns Adventure Path: http://rollforcombat.com/tag/dead-suns/
• The Fall of Plaguestone: http://rollforcombat.com/tag/the-fall-of-plaguestone/

So what is your group's playstyle?
On both podcasts, we play a mixture of "rules as written" (we play as closely as possible to the original rules) and role-playing. The Dead Suns podcast is a bit more "beer and pretzels" type of game, where we make jokes and rag on each other during the show. While the Plaguestone podcast is heavily into roleplaying and a bit more serious.

How are you playing?
Since we are scattered throughout the country we play online using a mixture of Discord and D20Pro.

How often do you post your show?
The Fall of Plaguestone podcast posts every Tuesday and the Dead Suns podcast posts every Friday.

What else do you do on the show?
We have a large number of interviews on the show, which you can view here: http://rollforcombat.com/tag/interviews/

We also play Starfinder Society games, which you can view here: http://rollforcombat.com/tag/starfinder-society/

We also review most Paizo hardcover books, which you can view here: http://rollforcombat.com/tag/reviews/

I hear you also play games on your Discord channel?
Yes, we are an official Paizo Lodge for Play-by-Discord games. You can learn how to join or run a game over at our Discord channel. Games are running all the time and we run both Pathfinder and Starfinder games. You can join our Discord here: http://discord.rollforcombat.com


We over at Roll For Combat have been running The Fall of Plagestone as well as Starfinder Dead Suns for over 2 years now. We expect to finish both in a few months and will continue running PF2 adventures on the show.

Personally I've been doing podcasting for around 16 years now and if there is one thing I have learned is that it's really, really hard. Doing a few shows is simple, but doing a new show, week after week, month after month, for years, is especially hard. It will probably start out as fun but slowly turn into work and something that seemingly might never end! :)

For me, the secret is that I love listening to my own show, so I don't mind editing it every week. We record so far in advance that by the time I get around to editing the week's show, it's like 98% new to me (even though I GMed the game, I rarely remember all the details).

If you want to run a PF2 podcast I would say go for it! Just try to get multiple sessions under your belt and recorded before you start publishing as you would be stunned just how much work it takes to create a weekly show.
