Hindsightless

Today I go in to a bit of detail on my thought process while making a new character and I pose a question as to the difference between niche protection and party balance. Do you have the answer? I also go into a little bit about the Bible at the very end so that’ll be fun.

My last session of Curse of the Crimson Throne was so hectic and gnarly that I need to tell you about it! But first, Jason needs to clear the air and Goblin'sHenchman has something to say about shields. 

Ever had a session that just goes super wrong? I have. Let’s talk about it. I also have calls from Jason and the Raven God himself, Joe Salvador. It’s the calls that really make the show and I just hope anchor doesn’t take that away from us.

That's right, folks. I talk a lot about what it takes to be a good player, but it's all lies. Lies, I tell ya! My dirty little secret has had the brilliant light of truth shined upon it and I must come clean. Karl and Jason also have some Rules Cyclopedia thoughts to share. Let's see if Anchor can keep the segments straight this time. It's a good episode? 

Today we talk about mind control, my Rules Cyclopedia character, if there's any reason to buy a shield in Rules Cyclopedia, missing players, assigning RPG homework, and The Legend of Vox Machina. Lastly, Jason  gives us a robust retrospective on the different editions of D&D throughout time. It's a real smorgasbord of an episode!  A big shout out to Jason, John and Karl for the calls! Couldn't hav...

Welcome to the JJ Ranch, just don't shift us to the right. I got Jason and John with me today and they got some stuff to say. I also talk about the character I'm making for an upcoming one shot of Rule Cyclopedia in which I'll be playing soon. I promise, this episode is 100% content free. 

Just me today, folks. I have a couple things I want to talk about, so I thought we'd have us a little sit down. Two situations  arose during my most recent session of Curse of the Crimson Throne that you might find interesting, and I thought I'd share them with you. Also, I  just finished watching the new Amazon Prime show, Legend of Vox Machina. It's a new cartoon based off the Critical Role actu...

He's right. Your welcome.

Tonight we dive into the mysteries of what one man said and another man heard. The signs and portents are there. The codes have been passed. The cyphers have been broken. We'll plumb the depths of truth and peel back the still living skin of reality. On a more somber note, R.I.P. Ivan Reitman. You will be missed. 

Well it's lady's night and I'm feeling right. A pair of wonderful calls from the amazing Julz from NZ and the radiant Lieren from Updates from the Middle of Nowhere. I'm one lucky former lady! 

Right, another fantastic session of Wrath of the Righteous in the books and I'm going to talk about it. I have calls from Karl and Jason. One of them tells the other one that he was wrong when he said he was wrong. You follow? It'll make sense when you hear it. Come on in, pull up a seat, and relax to the mellow sounds of me recording from my balcony on a beautiful, sunny day. The awesome thumbnai...

It's been a long time, but I'm back. A little older. A little less wise, but still hanging on. I had an awesome birthday and I want to tell you about it. From a rad game session, to hanging with a rad friend, to finding out my past self. It was truly epic. I also have calls from all sorts of folk; we got Barney, Barry, Jason, Joe, Jogn, and Karl. Now that's a banger of a line up if ever there was...

With a little help from my friends; Jason, Karl, and Colin I cover all sorts of topics in this episode. I go into some specifics about what I've learned about Roll20, how Pathfinder's negative levels work, puzzles, and a lot more. This one's got a little something for everyone! 

Jason was kind enough to remind us all that today (at time of recording) is National Puzzle Day in the States, and I freakin' love puzzles! I also have some calls from Menion and Jason. How's my prep going for Wrath of the Righteous? Tune in and find out! 

A few messages from Karl and a couple from Jason. More proof that it's ok for friends to disagree with each other. Only, which friend do I disagree with? There's only wone way to find out! 

It happened! The first session of my Wrath of the Righteous campaign has happened and it was... you'll have to tune in to find out! We also have calls from Jason, Menion, and good ol' Spike Pit. It's an all star episode for sure! 

It's all Karl , all the time, with a dash of Amy thrown in for good measure.  I also give a quick recap of the Curse of the Crimson Throne game and talk a little bit about what I’ve been up to lately. Check it out!

I played so many games this week! I played Talisman, OSRIC, Pathfinder 1E, and used one of Mr. Henchmen's amazing Hex Flowers for the first time!  

ALl Cleric, all the time. Just me and Taylor on this one, talking about how much crunchier AD&D is than Pathfinder. Good times! 

Calls from Spencer, Julz, Karl, Taylor, Menion, Jason, and Colin. Now, if that's not a cavalcade of coolness, a barrage of bad assary, a deluge of dopiness, then I don't know what is! I also make an announcement about a new campaign I'm going to run! 

... and a new game! It's my first episode of 2022 and I kicked off the year by running and playing Pathfinder 1E and reading up on a game that recently came across my radar. Let's talk RPG's! 

... and Chuck Norris. This fun little episode features amazing calls from Rob the Tim'rous Bushi, Colin "Spike Pit" Green, Julz "Mistress of the Saltmarshes" Burgisser, Jason "Master of Movies" Conerly, Cleric Taylor of the Mailed Fist, and Karl "the Acapella Fella" Rodriguez. This will most likely be my last episode of 2021, so I wish all of you the happiest of New Year's and may 2022 bring us al...

Calls from Jason, Anthony and Karl. Talking about Warhammer Fantasy Quest, Christmas lasagna, the war on Christmas, and the uselessness of the Anchor search function. 

It's Christmas Day 2021 as I drop this episode and I hope all y'all are having a wonderful day full of family, friends, and holiday cheer. I had a bunch of messages from Karl, so I thought to myself,  "It's Krismas with Karl, isn't it?" Yup! Enjoy and Merry Christmas to one and all!  (The "war on Christmas" is a lie invented and perpetuated by right wing media outlets in America to boost their pro...

I love drinking at airport bars, but when the airport bar has the best beer, Rainier, on tap it's a whole different ball game. Most of this episode was recorded at the airport bar between drinks. We got a session recap, calls from folks we haven't heard from in a long time, and a brand new caller to the show! It's a banger!
