Gnoll Country for Old Men

Gnoll Country For Old Men Episode 9! Math rocks go clickity-clackity. We talk about dice- their history, their use in RPGs and wargames, the superstitions gamers have about them, and why we keep buying new sets. If you've ever wondered about how a person becomes a dice goblin, this is the podcast for you.

Gnoll Country For Old Men Episode 8! What are druids, exactly? Where do they come from? Why should you play as one? Who first created the class for Dungeons and Dragons? All of these are questions we will answer on the Podcast. And if we don't answer a question, then the podcast is free!

Gnoll Country For Old Men Episode 7! VROOM VROOM! We're talking about Gaslands, the excellent post-apocalyptic game of vehicular mayhem! This is one of our all-time favorite indie wargames. Put on your seatbelts and grab your molotov cocktails, because we're about to shift into (roll dice) fourth gear!

Gnoll Country For Old Men Episode 6! We're talking about that standard of the support classes, the original healer and dealer, the caster of buffs and weilder of maces, the Cleric! The third class created for dungeons and dragons back in the day, and still among the most popular and useful in the modern game.

Gnoll Country For Old Men Episode 5! We're talking about some of our favorite "weird" Dungeons and Dragons monsters. From the orgins of the displacer beast to the things you can do with a roving mauler, we have ideas for how you can use some more unusual creatures in your own game.

Gnoll Country For Old Men Episode 4! We're talking about the Bard, one of the classic Dungeons and Dragons classes. Where do they come from? What makes them special? Why do we like them so much? And in the boardgame segment, we're discussing Dark Souls (the board game, not the video game)

We're discussing MacGuffins, Plot Devices, and magic items. What are the differences? What makes them memorable? Why do people expect to see them in a D&D campaign? We answer some, but not all, of those questions.

We're talking about the Barbarian! A classic Dungeons and Dragons class- but where did it come from? when did it make it into D&D? And what are the options for playing one? Listen to Gnoll Country for Old Men episode 2 to find out.

Episode 1 - GNS theory! We talk about what gamism, narrativism, and simulationism mean, and what they tell us about the games we play and why we like to play them. (Also, we know that the mic quality is bad. We're working on it for future episodes)
