Will this be the episode that gets taken down? Let's find out together! Today I'm joined by Brother Chainmail, Professor Green, the mysterious Cody M, and the Other Jason. Everyone deserves a cool nickname! Alanis Morissette, sadly, didn't call in to this episode, but maybe next time? 

A crazy coincidence, a chat about character creation, and some musings on minis with; Jason, Daniel, and the Pink Phantom! 

Chaotic in the sense that I didn't know which call was coming next. I put this episode together without checking to see the order of the messages, and it lead to some pretty rad convergences! Big thanks to Taylor, Spencer, Mr. Henchman, Spike Pit, Jason, and Puck. That's right, folks! Puck is back and he's got a song in his heart!  I also share some of my recent RPG thoughts that made me realize w...

Time for me to reap the whirlwind. Have minis always been a part of the game? Is theater of the mind more OG than maps and minis? Do VTT's really do a better job at simulating the old school feel? In short, no, but let's find out why! Amazingly educational calls from Spencer, Karl, Jason, and Anthony! That's a rock solid line up if ever there was one! 

In this episode, I'm talking about crows and B&B's with my awesome friends, Karl, Colin, and Spencer. Check it out Here's the link Colin mentions in the show: https://www.birdsoutsidemywindow.org/2019/02/15/gifts-from-crows/! 

That, my friends, is what you call a click bait title. Beside that, today we're talking crows, books, Bigfoot, nature, aliens, and state-sanctioned spying with calls from Barney, Jason, Spike Pit, B.J., and Goblin's Henchman. It'd be really cool if you checked out this episode!  

We're covering a bunch of ground in this mish-mash of an episode. Calls from Goblin's Henchman, Jason, Free Thrall, Runeslinger, and Barney on a variety of various topics. Check it out! 

Today we're talking about one of my favorite things; books! I recently went to a live reading of one of the world's greatest pieces of literature and I want to share that experience with you, my dear listeners. Then, Barney's back and he's talking Conan, and the ills of narratives. Lastly, we have three callers discussing the new Tolkien book, Fall of Numenor. Jason, Spike Pit, and Rob aka Menion...

This episode kicks off with a session recap of the most recent session of Wrath of the Righteous, in which I do some self-analysis of my online DM'ing strengths and weaknesses. Then, we're talking ancient aliens and AI with Taylor, Jason, Pink Phantom, and the Fourth Dynasty pharaoh, Kufu! Yes, *that* Kufu!!! Now that's what I call a powerhouse lineup!

I've brought some of my good friends along with me to discuss our ancient past with the amazing Barney Dicker of Loco Ludus fame! Barney comes at this discussion from a different angle, and it re-frames the whole discussion. Simply brilliant!  'Trip Like I Do' Crystal Method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hJZR_hinI0 'The Idiots Have Taken Over' NOFX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sNWDfryyMk 'R...

I know, I know. Enough already, right? But there was a big announcement in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien and I want to talk about it and see what y'all think. That's not really much of a show, so I added some rad calls from Jason about Big Trouble in Little China and character growth, as well as a message from Goblin's Henchman where he recounts his super spooky nightmare. 

I’m imagining the scene that the title describes and it’s making me very happy right now.. A murder of armor clad crows throwing a rad party? Yeah, that rules!  Ok, but today we're talking more about ancient civilizations, and I mean a lot more. Taylor, of Clerics Wear Ring Mail, Joe of Raven God Games, Jason of Nerd's RPG Variety Cast, and B.J. of the Arcane Alienist podcast all have some serious...

Rob, aka Menion, starts us off with  his thoughts on Conan, and the futility of trying to sum up humanity in a single story. That leads us perfectly into some very interesting discussions on human-kind's forgotten past, ancient Egypt, humanities ancestors, and much more. Karl, Joe, aka the Raven God, Jason, and Anthony, aka Runeslinger, each have super cool thoughts on those fascinating subjects,...

Karl and I are talking pyramids and basketball. 'Nuf said! 

To sleep, perchance to dream. We're diving back into my psyche with the completion of my dream analysis by the fantastic Julz from NZ. You heard the first part of her break down of my dream a few episodes back, and Julz is here again to finish the job, but her's isn't the only possible interpretation out there. What dreams may come? Sit back and let Mr. Henchman weave you a tale of witches, beans,...

My deepest and most humble apologies to all of you, but especially to Jason, for misnumbering my last episode. This episode has the correct number and I will try to never let such an egregious mistake happen again.  You like recaps? I got recaps. Truthfully, I only have one recap, but it's what I got! My most recent session running the epic Pathfinder 1e adventure path, Wrath of the Righteous, kic...

Named after one of the greatest metal albums from the 80's of all time, this time-themed episode is an interesting one. Instead of the standard format, where callers are responding to things I said on my show, today I have callers responding to things I said on *their* show! How cool is that?!?!  Oh, yeah, Persistence of Time actually came out in 1990, but let's be real, 1990 was really still very...

It's been a minute, but I'm back! I'm joined today by some fantastic folks that want to talk about dreams and fasting. I also report on the latest session of my Wrath of the Righteous campaign, and how strange it is that some people think Conan is a static, unchanging character. Besides me, on this episode you'll hear from Jason, Karl, Runeslinger and Spike Pit. A truly fearsome foursome, if ever...

You want calls? I got calls. Calls from Jason, Joe, and Collin make this a very special episode! We'll be talking about home-brew games, stretching our gaming wings, Scooby Doo  D&D, fasting, and nightmares. A terrifying, horrific, soul-scarring, bone-chilling nightmare. Check it out... if you dare! 

A lot of light and a little dark, but the dark is at the very end so it's easy to skip. I talk sports ball, new campaigns, and relearning the rules. There's a short political diatribe at the end , to which I'll give plenty of warning. Enjoy!  

I'm back and talking about the NBA, moving houses, and campaigns. Pink Phantom, Jason, and Karl join me on this introspective episode!  

Just a quick one after getting back home to Seattle. I have three calls that I want to play because I think they're each special in their own way. Thank you very much to Colin, B. J., and Jason. Not a lot of gaming content in this one, just some heart-felt appreciation, with an awesome crow story at the end! 

My last two episodes generated a ton of amazing call in's, and I'm sharing them with you here and now! In this episode we'll hear from Goblin's Henchman, Joe the Raven God, Jason of the Variety Cast, and Professor GMologist on a wide range of topics. Today we're covering Icelandic werewolves, free RPG supplements, Sigil & Shadow, and Boba Fett being the most skilled bounty hunter in the galaxy. Th...

I finally made it to my mom's house! I received lots of lovely calls from folks wishing me well on my hectic journey, and I'll play a few of those today. Additionally, we'll talk about the awesomeness of apologies, the bad assness of Boba-Fet, the radness of Reever, and the lunacy of lifetime appointments. With me today are a few of the good guys; Jason, Joe Salvador, Free Thrall, and Goblin's Hen...

We're all over the the place in this one folks. Karl talks a bit about session recaps and Jasons asks the hard hitting questions, but not just to me. Who else does Jason question? You'll have to tune in to find out!
