In mid-07, three gamers got together and began recording a Podcast, and created a website to contribute to the gaming society. The three (Meg, Josh, and Zeke) created BG and posted this podcast, asking a very simple question: What do you like about gaming?While initial traffic was low, this would change due to events at the Wizards of the Coast forums. The Broken Base created by the release of Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition, combined with repeated, nigh-incomprehensible overhauls of the entire board (including a temporary rebranding to "Gleemax, a MySpace for gamers"), resulted in large chunks of the userbase becoming... upset. Eventually Meg was fired from the moderator position she held at the Character Optimisation section, and a large chunk of the regulars there followed her to her podcast's boards in protest. By the times things stabilized, BG had become a community in its own right.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })To this day, BG is a pillar in the tabletop optimization community (specifically oriented around Dungeons & Dragons 3.5, but they will help posters with nearly any system or game if asked, or at least point you in the right direction), rivaling TheGamingDen and GiantITP in sheer resources, and the podcasts (while infrequent) are very insightful for any gamer.Currently in need of some Wiki Magic.Note: The forums have been replaced. The old boards are currently (11/07/11) in read-only, and will remain so for a few months before being taken down entirely. | |

Lethal Joke Character | |
| Brilliant Gameologists (Podcast) / int_36249acd | comment |
Lethal Joke Character: A number of builds fall into this category, using abilities like jumping high, drinking alcohol, or commanding hippos to deadly effect. | |

Min-Maxing: By the boatload. As stated above, BG has one of the largest collections of optimisation content on the internet, being particularly known for its collection of Class Handbooks for Dungeons & Dragons. Several of the podcasts also cover basic optimization tactics. | |

Elite Tweak | |
| Brilliant Gameologists (Podcast) / int_9f41fabe | comment |
Elite Tweak: The "Min/Max It" section is capable of squeezing power out of even the strangest and most obscure classes or abilities. Even a joke Flaw from a magazine which gives you a random chance of pulling out a chicken whenever you reach for an item. | |

Character Tiers | |
| Brilliant Gameologists (Podcast) / int_c234ee4d | comment |
Character Tiers: Home to the most widely-used tier list for Dungeons & Dragons 3.x, with classes rated on how much effort a Game Master needs to handle them (high tiers have Story Breaker Powers, while low tiers are incapable of harming common enemies). | |
