It's been a full month since the last episode of 'Beyond the Grind'. What happened? Listen and find out! Oh - also Baraslan and Shaddoe cover topics such as Stephen Reid's recent comments on role players, the differences between MMO role playing and PnP role playing, role playing likes and dislikes of the freshly launched MMO, great role-playing locations that are a bit off the beaten path, and the timely passing of Star Wars Galaxies.

Join Baraslan and Shaddoe as they once again provide a Role Player's insight on the latest news from Bioware and The Old Republic. This Episode covers the Consular progression video, the Bioware free soundtrack giveaway and the controversial "Legacy System" as well as a small reveal from the latest round of Beta testing. Shaddoe also provides comprehensive lore about the Pureblood Sith for those interested in role playing them or simply understanding their role in the Star Wars universe (and why they seem to frequently have an air of arrogance and entitlement).
This episode is sponsored by the 'BTG9000' - Don't worry about illogical and genetically impossible family legacies - let the BTG9000 do that for you!

In this episode Baraslan and Shaddoe speak briefly about NY ComicCon, the 'Signs of War' video, and their views on combining Roleplaying and Raiding. After that's out of the way, however, teh rest of the show is dedicated to picking Shaddoes' brain about his recent beta experience while playing through both the Consular and Smuggler classes to the point where they received their ship. It includes details about Ord Mantell, Tython and Coruscant. Other topic include factions, social hubs and social questing, falling to your death, lightside and darkside oddities, datacron hunting, and much, much more!
If you have additional questions for Shaddoe and his experience for beta that didn't get answered on the show, please post them at our podbean site (baraslan.podbean.com) and we will do our best to address them next show.

Baraslan and Shaddoe welcome Vaanthe and the 'Awesome" Ganden to the show from swtor-rp.com. In addition to a lengthy conversation about RP-PVP and other RP gaming topics, there is an extended interview about the swtor-rp.com website and what opportunities for RPers that are being offered there.
We hope you find the show as 'aweseome' as we did... or at least Ganden did.

If it's not clear to you that Baraslan and Shaddoe have a strong (some might say 'unhealthy'?) bias towards the smuggler class, then .. umm - I'm not sure what podcast you were listening to. In his show the two cover the release of the smuggler progression video as well as a number of other RPing related developer commentaries. Plus they weigh in on the announcement that SGRA will be in the game at some future point.
This episode also contains additional footage not heard on the original airing on the TOR Syndicate podcast. So enjoy your 'Director's Cut'!

What happens on a slow news week when you have no clear show notes? In Episode 15 Baraslan, with the help of Shaddoe and Rsek, answer that question along with many others, such as:
- What happened to the weekend betas?
- How do you handle in-character fights and combat?
- How far is too far?
- Why do they insist on finding new ways to ruin Star Wars - AKA: the new blueray release?
- When does 'no' really mean 'nooooooooooo'?
All this and so much more await you in this rambling episode of Beyond the Grind!
