Concept vs. Mechanics: Which Way Do You Build Your Characters? This week on The Dekahedron RPG Podcast, Joe has a special guest! James joins the show to have a lighthearted debate about the best way to create characters: Concept First or Mechanics First? Joe, a firm believer in the Concept First approach, likes to start with a clear idea of who their character is and then find the mechanics in the game to bring that character to life. James, on the other hand, prefers to dive into the game's options first, letting the mechanics spark inspiration for the character's concept. Is there a right way? Not necessarily! This episode explores the pros and cons of both approaches, using Tri-Stat DX as an example. We also find out why James might be better off NOT picking "flying" for his Robin Hood character. What's your take? Head over to the comments and let us know: Team Concept First or Team Mechanics First?

Joe, delves into the murky waters of online RPG sales. He shares his concerns about a potentially “scammy”/“bootleggy” listing he found on eBay for the 1978 "Star Trek, Adventure Gaming in the Final Frontier" RPG. Join this journey through the history of this game, its significance as the first licensed Star Trek RPG, and its connection to Heritage Models and Dave Arneson. He also discusses the game’s evolution into Star Patrol and Starfleet Voyages. The episode takes a turn as Joe scrutinizes the eBay listing, pointing out discrepancies in the book’s cover, binding, and even the barcode. He questions the legitimacy of the listing, suspecting it to be a print-on-demand version rather than an original 1978 copy. Joe also explores other listings by the same seller, raising doubts about their authenticity. He invites listeners to share their thoughts on the moral legitimacy of buying such copies and the responsibility of reporting potentially counterfeit items. This episode is a must-listen for RPG enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone interested in the ethics of online sales.

This episode dives into the world of hex crawls and introduces a unique concept: the hex crawl seed. What is a hex crawl seed? It provides the spark for an adventure that unfolds through exploration, not a pre-determined map. The seed? The story of Mossbeard, a dwarf consumed by gold lust and transformed into a dragon. The adventure? Up to you! The episode explores various paths players can take using a cryptic poem and map riddled with clues. Do they seek treasure? Or perhaps a way to redeem Mossbeard? The episode also delves into the inspirations behind the story, including a 19th century opera and a 13th century poem. So, are you ready to embark on a hex crawl adventure guided by a intriguing mystery? Tune in!
