Yeah it's so much nicer! There's some where they're trying to be really by the rules and they manage to make it work but most of the time the dice rolls are just there to keep things grounded (you can't just god mode yourself, you have to have some chance of failure etc). It's not really usually that useful if what you're playing table top RPGs for is to fell a collective story, so editing it out is probably a huge pain but it makes things flow so much smoother.

I have a lot of time at work to listen to podcasts but I'm so tired of listening to dice fiddling so this is going on my list for SURE. been wanting something more comedy-focused too which is sounds like this is.

the tagline "a nasty podcast for wicked freaks" sold me harder than anything else could

So just in case you were curious, a dharma vessel is basically a person that can learn, internalize, and experience the dharma. Dharma is actually a pretty complicated and multipurpose term that can mean the following things:

  • The teachings of the Buddha
  • The essence of the universe that connects everything and basically is everything.
  • The experience of, for lack of a better way of putting it, examining and reflecting on that essence, usually through meditation.
  • The laws of the cosmology, including the cycle of death and rebirth
  • Probably some other stuff depending on your sect of Buddishm but mine (Zen) likes to keep it pretty simple and focused by comparison.

It's also worth noting that the term "dharma" is used outside of Buddhism too. I believe Hinduism uses it with similar meaning. Probably other religions that came out of the Indian subcontinent as well.
