Hindsightless

Everything is a pattern. There are no such things as coincidences. Outer space is a lie! Today, we're connecting the dots on the entire vampire-werewolf conspiracy. The Arcane Alienist has his string map out, Jason picks up the thread, and Karl ties it all up in a nice bow. This one is the jam! 

We're covering a lot of topics today; capes, British literature, British litature-based RPG's, rolling, KISS, and more! To help me talk about all this, I have with me today an amazing lineup of super cool, totally rad people from all across the globe! In this episode we have; the incomparable Loco Ludus, the indefatigable Spike Pit, the incredible Julz from NZ, the innumerable Jason of the Nerd's...

Despite me saying nothing but nice things about werewolf's in all these episodes some harsh words were spoken about vampires in Pack Tactics, and that cannot stand. Jason and Julz had some thoughts on the vamp salt as well. If you like capes, and you should, this is the episode for you!!! Go check out Goblin's Henchman's Face Flio on DriveThruRPG and check out all #KiwiRPG goodness while you're at...

The moon is out and it's time to howl!  We're once more getting wolfie with it with Free Thrall, Goblin's Henchman, and the GMologist. I also give a recap of the epic, 9-hour long, in-person finale of the Good Society rpg that just happened! Don't worry, the recap won't be as long as the session. 

Dice are nice, but not everyone thinks so. Today, Jason, Karl, Goblin's Henchman and I are talking when to roll, what to roll, and how much to roll. Let the good times roll! 

Today I have session recaps for the last Wrath of the Righteous game I ran and a Rules Cyclopedia game in which I played. I also have some calls from folks yelling at me (not really) about the original TSR D&D games obviously being part of the OSR, and a couple calls from folks that don't think so. It's a fun episode for sure!  Gaze in wonder at this cavalcade of coolness, this avalanche of awesom...

The pack grows! Some of Anchor's finest called in to explain why werewolves rule, but I'm not going to tell you who they are here, you cheeky devil. You'll have to listen to find out! We also have a point/counterpoint discussion on the new Matt Colville Kickstarter. Werewolves are on the hunt in this one, folks! 

Despite the title of this episode, we're talking old school games today, not OSR games. I have calls from several of the Anchor luminaries: Jason of Nerd's RPG Variety Cast, Taylor of Clerics Wear Ring Mail, and Goblin's Henchmen. Thank you guys so much for helping me wrap my brain around these topics. This one is a good one, folks!

Today, Jason, Mr. Henchman and myself are talking werewolves and werewolf movies. Jason is trying to balance the scales and he tells us why werewolves are cool! 

For the first time in the history of this show, a caller thinks I had a good idea about old school RPG's and I need to talk about it! Let's also talk about our old man injuries, because through our bleeding we are one! Big thanks to all of the awesome calls from Jason, Runeslinger, Goblin's Henchman, Spike Pit and the Pink Phantom!!!

It's my 13th episode (my three hundredth and thirteenth actually, but who's counting?) so let's get spooky! Today we're talking monsters! More specifically, we're talking vampires and werewolves. Even more specifically, Jason, Runeslinger, Spike Pit, Goblin's Henchman, and Julz tell us if they'd rather be a vampire or a werewolf.  Get Down Goblin: https://youtu.be/PoD9gVdeIS4

In today's episode, Spike Pit's talking literary genres, Jason's talking werewolves, and I'm asking why thieves can't hear themselves. 

I throw out a lot of... topics on this show, but not all of them get as much traction as others. That said, Karl has been calling in over the past several episodes, touching on subjects that no one else really did, which is super cool. So, here are those calls! Let's get into it! 

Brian's back and badder than ever! That's right, the host of the Have to Look That Up podcast and Jason of the Nerds (we'll talk about Nerds later on) RPG Variety Cast both left me interesting messages about the Good Society RPG. Then Karl, Menion, and Jason talk nice protection, or do they? Fear not, Mr. Henchman gets us back on task and refocuses the conversation. I also talk briefly about one o...

This one is kind of a beast, but it's worth it, I promise. Today, I review the Jane Austin inspired RPG, Good Society, and I bring a special guest on the show to talk about Firestarter. Spoilers, both things were awesome! 

Today we're talking murder hobos, miscommunications, and niche protection with some great calls from Julz from NZ, Jason Conerley, the Pink Phantom and Runeslinger, from the Casting Shadows podcast! Now there's a collection of callers a podcaster can feel good about! 

Gather 'round, my lovelies, listen to the canticle of Diah the Fighter. I don't actually sing, but Diah did hit the table last night in my first ever game of the Rules Cyclopedia version of D&D and I have lots to say about it! We're also diving back into niche protection with some amazing calls from Jogn Allen Large, Goblin's Henchman, Spike Pit and Julz from NZ.  Now if that's not a gorgeous line...

I realized I had more to say about my WotR session immediately after pressing "Publish" on my last episode and my buddy, Karl, gave me the perfect excuse with his awesome message. Karl's message also presented me with an opportunity to play a very cool message I have from our pal, Spike Pit for Julz from NZ. Thanks, fellas!  Oh yeah, I just watched the 1984 movie, Firestarter, and I have lots to s...

I correct in egregious mistake I made in my last episode and I give a recap to my most recent session of the Pathfinder first edition adventure path, wrath of the righteous! Speech to text does not care about capitalization even though I do but I’m not gonna go back and correct all of this yet! Enjoy! Today were talking international sports thanks to some of my amazing friends;Julz, Spencer, Mr. H...

Today was a rough one and I just want to chat with some of my friends about gaming and stuff. Who's down? We've got Jason, Karl, Julz, and Mr. Henchman himself chatting about world building, awesome crits, movies and sports! It's like I'm doing an RPG variety podcast or something. Hmmmm, I should trademark that idea real quick before somebody steals it. 

It sounds better when you say it, especially if you mispronounce niche the way I so often do in this episode. Were also talking shields and haircuts, with calls from Jason, John, and the Green brothers. This one's a classic in the making! 

I've calculated and verified the votes. There were no hanging chads, no voter fraud, no pathetic Election Day attempted insurrection lead by a bunch of hateful simpletons. No! It was a clean election and the results are in! The session has been played. What character did I play after Templetons inevitable demise? Find out now! We also talk some sports at the end of the episode, so stay around for...

It's my 300th episode, so what better time to talk about death? Today we're talking Death Trap Dungeon and character death. More specifically, the rules for provisions in the Fighting Fantasy books and the decision I made that did *not* end up with a dead PC. I also have a brand new caller to the show! That's right, the Pink Phantom stops by to talk party balance and chill us all out with his smoo...

I am again face with the dilemma and I’m looking for some help from my friends! The situation on the ground has changed due to more Intel and now I’m conflicted again. Can you help me decide what would be a good fit for this group? I also have some amazing calls on party balance and niche protection from the likes of BJ, John Alan Large, and Daniel Norton of the Bandit’s Keep media empire.

Beware, for this episode is fully trapped! First, I talk about my first ever experience with a Fighting Fantasy book that I played with the amazing Julz From NZ. Then we'll finish up with a bunch of calls from ol' Spike Pit, with all kinds of awesomeness from Joe Salvador and John Allen Large in between!
