The Story Told is a newly launched RPG podcast with a focus on setting and storytelling. We release episodes including game overviews, book reviews, setting deepdives, and example character creation. We opened our podcast with 3 episodes covering Exalted 3rd Edition, followed by an overview of Tribe 8. Our 7th Sea 2nd Edition overview episode will go live July 16. Up next, we'll spend several episodes covering Changeling the Dreaming, including interviews with some of the writers and developers.
Check us out on iTunes, or any other podcast service or find us on our feed: http://thestorytold.libsyn.com/
For our character creation segments, we've hired an artist to create character portraits. Here's a preview from our next episode:
