Metagamers Anonymous Ep #3
16 May 2012 Leave a Comment
In our third episode of Metagamers Anonymous, we discuss a recent hot-button topic: that of narrative combat (or “theater of the mind”) vs. use of the combat map. The hosts discuss their personal experiences with D&D combat and mull over the pros and cons of each approach. They also spend some time discussing their recent experiments with the Savage Worlds RPG, and touch on the upcoming playtest for D&D Next. Tune in to the podcast here and let us know what you think at feedback@prismatictsunami.com.

Savage Worlds
11 May 2012 Leave a Comment
The Tsunami gamers have been experimenting with a new (to us) game system called Savage Worlds. It’s a great, fast-paced alternative to our usual fare, and the results thus far have been really promising. You can run it with pretty much any genre, and prep time for the GM is a Godsend. Combats are quick and fun, and the game even has great mechanics for rewarding roleplaying. I discuss our experiences with it on the forum. Feel free to discuss!

Episode 1: “Introducing the Party”
Here’s our very first episode of Metagamers Anonymous, a podcast dedicated to tabletop roleplaying games and (mostly) related material. It’s essentially an hour of inane ramblings intended to introduce the cast and talk a little bit about our backgrounds and the purpose of the podcast, such as it is. We also included links in the show notes to the various games and web communities discussed during the show. Enjoy! And feel free to drop in at the forums if you have a comment you’d like to share, or send us a message at feedback@prismatictsunami.com.

“I was blind, dead, stoned, and stuck in Gehenna with 200 of my best friends….”
It’s been a few years, but Prismatic Tsunami is back online. If you’re an old friend, welcome. Please consider registering with the site and drop a note in our forum; let us know that you’re still out there and have fond memories of the days spent around the gaming table… or better yet, that you’re still making new ones! If you’re new to the community, don’t be shy… sign up and tell us who you are and how you spend your spare time (erm… gaming, I mean). There’s plenty of room at our virtual roundtable, and it’s an exciting time to be a gamer!
Naturally, we have some exciting things coming up in the weeks ahead. First, keep an eye out for our upcoming podcast. I hope to launch as early as next week, and we’ll see if we can start with a biweekly schedule. We’ll primarily discuss tabletop gaming, of course, with a focus on D&D and similarly well-known offerings, but we’re just as likely to follow tangents to various other regions of geekdom. And of course, you can certainly offer up topics and points for argument or disussion. Keep an eye on our social media outlets, and I’ll let you know when the show is up and runnin’.
Speaking of which, feel free to “like” us over on Facebook, and you can even follow us on Twitter. Help us make our little group stand tall in the RPG community!!
Welcome to the new site!

Hey everybody!
Taluun, your resident site admin here.
After some discussion with Erik I’ve brought the Tsunami site into the 21st century by upgrading from the old php-nuke site to a wordpress based site. Complete with forums, photo galleries, podcasting, facebook, twitter, and all the other bells and whistles that come with wordpress.
So you may be wondering where all the old posts and usernames went off to…
Have no fear, they’re still around, somewhere, they’re not lost. However, with the upgrade of the site you’ll need to register for a new account as your old accounts could not be transferred to the new site.
Things will keep changing around here as I continue to add stuff to the new site, also stay tuned for some great and cool stuff on the way from everybody’s favorite Dungeon Master.
Hope everyone like the new look of things around here!
