Then talk about the lore surrounding the Nerevarine and his travels after the game of Morrowind. And the lore of each player character throughout the series.

Then they talk about the lore of the creation of Mundus, then round it off by talking about fantasy books.

A GAME AT DINNER 02: OPTIONAL ROLE PLAY ELEMENTS

Lee and Rett sit down to discuss the additional optional role play elements they invented to rekindle Morrowind for them. They go through a list of what they’ve nicknamed “traits” and how they would effect the way you you play the game. All rules are self imposed, and you can pick and choose which sound fun to you, or you could roll dice to add a random element to it all.

We will be posting our random roll charts to the website and on reddit as soon as we can. Our characters were completely randomized and made Morrowind very interesting.

If you have any “traits” you think would be cool shoot us an email.

A GAME AT DINNER 00: PILOT

A Game at Dinner is a podcast headed by Lee Parra, once a guest on Duel of Taints, that aims to teach people the magic of Morrowind, the most compelling title in the Elder Scrolls series. During the course of this show, Lee will give people that ask “How do I get into this game” (a common question on the Morrowind subreddits) that extra nudge to help you figure out Morrowind, and learn to love it the way that the die hard fans do.

And for the veterans of Morrowind, Lee offers his own ways to come back to the game and make it feel fresh and new.

Lee and Rett will be posting a lot in the Morrowind subreddit,as the intention of the Podcast is to help foster a community around this game that seems to find new life every few years.

We will make links and information about the things we talk about readily available as soon as we can. We hope that you enjoy this episode of A Game at Dinner. This is the pilot episode, but there is plenty more to come.
