We finally finished book two of Paizo's epic Pathfinder 1e Adventure Path, Wrath of the Righteous! I then talk about the game of Beyond the Wall that didn't happen, a bit on the science of social media, and burnout. I also answer a couple spoiler-free questions from Jason about the new (at time of recording) D&D movie. We finish off the episode with a call from our good buddy, Spike Pit! All in al...

I have a spoiler-free discussion of the new (at time of recording) D&D movie and I talk about my latest session of Beyond the Wall. As I write this, I'm listening to the album 'Life for Rent' by Dido because I'm awesome.

In this episode, Bandit's Keep and Goblin's Henchman help me talk about dungeons, ice cream, flirting, mass combat, arguing on the internet, and much more! Good times!

In this episode, I'm doing something I haven't done in awhile, play some calls! We got calls from Karl, Jason, and the Pink Phantom! That's right, the Phantom makes an appearance after a long absence. Not that I missed him or anything. Guys don't miss other guys. That'd be soft. "Boy wonder? I'm all man, lady!" 

I'm back? Today I'm talking about ice cream, basketball, and some RPG stuff. This is how this works, right? 

I had an awesome birthday weekend and was lucky enough to play a bunch of games. I talk about the most recent session of Wrath of the Righteous, the first session of my new Beyond the Wall campaign, and the game of Reaver that I was lucky enough to make this time. So much fun!  

I talk about the new things I've been diving into lately and take a couple calls from Jason. Good fun!  Sasquatch Theory: https://www.youtube.com/@SASQUATCHTHEORY

I ramble about the three RPG's I read this weekend, respond to calls about accessibility from Jason, Daniel, and Julz, and do a very special butterfly unboxing. All this and more just a click away! 

Today, because I'm an idiot, we're going to talk about the difference between being Charmed and being Dominated. We're also going to discuss the difference between player intent and character intent. Are they the same thing? Can we know the intent of a character by the actions of the player? To help me parse these weighty subjects, I've gathered some really smart folks together. We'll hear from th...

I share some examples of what works and what doesn't work for PDF's in terms of accessibility, usability, and readability. 

What? Wet dream demons are totally a thing. Seriously. We even fought one of them in a recent session fo Wrath of the Righteous. Jason and Julz stop by to help me talk about wet dream demons, switching characters during a campaign, ancient texts, and the nature of evil. Good times!  Esoterica: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEsotericaChannel

Just a straight up, unedited ramble. 

By the time you hear this, I'll be winging my way down to sunny SO Cal, living behind the frozen environs of the PWN. Joining me today are some of my good friends;; Jason, BJ, Karl, and Woody! That's right, Woody's going us for a bit today as we talk about barbarians, Bram Stoker's Dracula, taking too long o  your turn, secret confessions, and how to pronounce the name, Majere. This is a fun one,...

I ramble about games, barbarians, players taking a long time on their turns, vampire movies, and why Jason is awesome.  Leave me a Google voice message @ 661-494-6656 or drop me a message on Discord. 

There's three "Games!" in the title because that's how many games I've played since last we spoke. Which ones? Pathfinder 1E, Cyberpunk 2020, and Palladium Fantasy 1E! How's that for a line up?!? Plus, Jason leads us into each of the recaps, and the Raven God calls in with some Thanksgiving well-wishes. Check it out! 

I recap games of Cyberpunk 2020, Pathfinder 1e, and a cool game by James of Sub Class Act. BJ and Jason call in to say hello. 

We have a very special treat today, boys and girls. Joining us today are two esteemed speakers from the GDC&PS ... or are they? Are there shenanigans afoot? Is everyone who they purport themselves to be? What will Brigadier General Chumley Bottomley Flapps (rtd.) have to say about the complaint filed by Donald Davey Scott and the claim that Donald makes? That's right folks, a real life Brigadier G...

I share spooky tales of a ouija board, ghosts, and play a bone chilling message from Spencer. Join me in having a ghoulish good time!  

After traveling through time, I am back and talking about the first session of Cyberpunk 2020 I ran in more than 30 years! I also give a recap of my surgery and take calls from Runeslinger, Free Thrall, Goblin's Henchman, and Jason. This is pretty much all I can muster for a description. Enjoy! 

Tell all your priests and kings, the Day of the Mighty has arrived! The Skull has decreed that Oct 23rd shall henceforth be known as the Day of the Mighty, a day to celebrate the awesomeness of sword and sorcery. I talk about a list of the Top 21 sword and sorcery movies of all time that I came across during my research, and discuss one of my favorite movies that I think could be considered sword...

Just like the Warriors will be doing this summer, we're going back to back... stories! The NBA season is once again upon us, and things are looking good. This one kinda goes all over the place, but mostly focuses on backstories and collaborative world-building. We'll talk backstories, sports, world-building, my first episode, crows and squirrels, and more! Look at this list of awesome Anchorites a...

I've started reading Time of the Twins again, the first book in the second trilogy of the Dragonlance books, by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. I read this book for the first and only time back in the early 90's , and I have some thoughts. Additionally, I have a few amazing calls from Jason, Spencer, and a brand new, first time caller! Time to open up the complaint department, it's a new episode...

There's a bunch of stuff in this one. I got two recaps from recent games, more cyberpunk talk, and a few super nice messages about my reaching 400 episodes. Since we're halfway through October, I also talk about what I've learned so far about the OSR from listening to everyone's awesome OSR October episodes. Thanks for all the content, boys! 

It's my 400th episode , and we're partying! I mean, not really, but it's still totally awesome! Jason, Kevin, Karl, BJ, and me are talking cyberpunk drugs, cyberpunk dragons, sending Anchor messages, and backstories. Oh yes, we're talking back stories. Below are the links to the Bandit's Keep episode and the blog post I mention in this episode. Thank you all so much for putting up with me for 400...

I kick off the episode by discussing why the argument of "backstories are lame because someone will show up with a first level character that killed a dragon, and that's just silly" isn't a good argument. Then we get into some calls from Kevin on what to call Jason, from Jason on running games without reading them, and a long call from Karl about Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk Red vs. Shadowrun. I'm...
