Follow Me, And Die!

After some call ins, I delve into video games. I'm a gamer and I like all kinds of games, not only RPGs.

I thought it would be a good idea to shout out to all the OSR Anchor Podcasts I listen to. Perhaps you'll find one you didn't know about. I end with two call ins. You can find the list of most of the podcasts I mentioned at a page on Chuck Thorin's blog: https://theymightbgazebos.blog/osr-anchorites/

Another story about Griswald, the namesake of Follow Me, And Die!, was sent undercover by the king.

Since I didn't manage to do a live show from the con on Saturday, Saturday Scrawl #8 is now Monday Madness #1. I had a blast and want to encourage everyone to attend a game convention at least once.

Episode 53 Thursday Thoughts #8 Con Thoughts from UCon 2018

I finally located my notebook with all my past characters in it for which I still have a character sheet. Musings on languages in game and characters I don't recall.

I discuss going to conventions and their benefits, and that I'll be at UCon next weekend and not Gamehole Con. I mentioned several sites for finding conventions, plus a couple of articles from my blog: Companion Blog Article: https://followmeanddie.com/2018/11/03/locating-a-convention/ Past Blog Articles: https://followmeanddie.com/2017/01/23/where-can-i-find-a-game-convention/ https://followmeand...

A discussion of crafting magic items and some ideas for how to make it more interesting in your games.

After a call in from Eric Salzwedel at The Omega 3-D Chicken Coop, I dig into the process of making scrolls in AD&D. https://anchor.fm/eric-salzwedel/

Call in from Colin Green of Spikepit. https://anchor.fm/spikepit/. More follow up on my call in for Episode 28 of https://anchor.fm/Thedicearescreaming/ on Paladins.

I struggle to do funny voices at the table. I either suffer embarrassment, or get so wrapped up in running a game, that I forget to do the voices.

I discussed the mechanics of the Insect Plague on Saturday Scrawl #5 a few days ago, so this episode wouldn't be too long. Why I think it's better to give than to receive.

After a call in about Alliteration as Inspiration from last episode, I discuss Insect Plague in Oe, 1e, 5e, and a few retro clones. I discuss details of the spell in preparation for the next Tuesday Tales.

I have a knack for alliteration and have several examples on my blog: https://followmeanddie.com/category/alliteration/. Check out the Kickstarter for The Dreams In Gary's Basement, which funded in the first 12 hours and it on to stretch goals to include a disk of full interviews. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dorksofyore/the-dreams-in-garys-basement-a-documentary-on-gary?ref=user_menu

A call in from Ray Otus of the Plundergrounds podcast about Saturday Scrawl #3. Today - My thoughts about moving things along when players get bogged down in discussion over simple matters or aren't ready on their turn for combat.

In today's Tuesday Tales, I talk about the oldest character for whom I still have a character sheet. Kad Staglar, halfing fighter/thief. I tough on the whole end of G+, but will do a blog post and perhaps discuss it on the next Saturday Scrawl.

Stretching creativity in all ways. As a GM & Player, and through writing, drawing, and other forms of expression.

Last night was the end of the Wednesday night AD&D game on Roll20. We reached the end goal of the campaign and "saved" the world. Our DM published an adventure based on the first adventure, Automata Run Amok, illustrated by Luka Rejec.

First up a slew of call ins about Encumbrance from Saturday Sprawl #3. Tuesday Tales #3 will touch on several powerful magic items and the hilarity that ensued.

I mention that today, Sept. 30 is International Podcast Day. https://internationalpodcastday.com/ Check out the new item and creature I was inspired to make while talking about Encumbrance over on the Blog. https://followmeanddie.com/2018/09/29/musings-on-bags-of-holding/
