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! 

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!
