Today we’ll talk about Thanksgiving, masters of the universe, wheel of time, cowboy bebop, and funnels. This one really does have it all! It’s a multi media extravaganza!

In the last 18 hours (at time of recording) I've consumed part 2 of Masters of the Universe: Revelations and episode 1 of The Wheel of Time, and I want to talk about them. I give two, 100% spoiler-free reviews, plus answer some calls from Karl and Jason. It's a super fun episode!

I talk about the work I'm doing on my Beyond the Wall game that I will turn, by hook or by crook, into a campaign! I also have messages from Karl, Jason, BJ, and a first-time caller to the show! We talk recipes, monsters, dessert toppings, and Ernest Hemingway. Lastly, we have the final segment of the fan-favorite, Butterfly Unboxing series. Will it ever come back? Only time will tell. 

We got calls from Taylor, Ray, Jason, Daniel, and Karl talking about recipes, troop play, missing players, and the idea of the Chosen One PC in RPG's. Does it really happen? Also, we have part 3 of the Butterfly Unboxing series. What treasures await? Find out now! 

I talk about scorpions beating the crap out of an entire Egyptian city, food and festivals in our games, and I have  calls from BJ, Jason and Spencer. It must be the holiday season because these messages were a gift to receive!  

A message from Jason, a session recap, some Dear Abby advice, and a brand new, never-before-heard-on-this-podcast segment! This one really does have it all! 

The title pretty much says it all. I'll keep it well under an hour this time, I promise 😎

I recap the two kick ass sessions I played in this week and we have calls from Jason, Karl, Menion, Taylor and Daniel. We also have a brand new segment called "Answers From the Sheets with Dr. Love" featuring a wonderful theme song from the GMologist himself.  This one's a real banger, folks!

In episode 253 I presented several theories. Taylor, Jason, and Daniel all had lots to say on those theories. I share their thoughts with you here and now. They each present very thoughtful and engaging arguments and for that I am totally grateful! Great work, dudes!

In this episode I talk about why gold for XP doesn’t inherently encourage exploration, random tables, and Jason scolds me over privacy concerns. This is an interesting one, folks!

Just more of me fawning over my new love, Beyond the Wall, but this time I throw in a session recap from a League of Eternal Guardians game in which I recently played. Good stuff! 

I'm back! A few calls from Jason and Spencer, some talk about Beyond the Wall and Pathfinder and one of the most disturbing facts I've learned in a long time. This one's pretty good! 

Calls from Jason, Karl, Spencer, and a drunken tirade from me. Could you really ask for anything more? This episode is being released on October 31st of 2021, so HAPPY HALLOWEEN Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the sppok-tacular recap for my Halloween 2021, first-ever session of the fantastic game, Beyond the Wall! Happy Halloween!!!

In this episode we'll talk about the Dying Earth RPG, the Dune RPG, GM power, Lovecraft Country, my awesome grandpa, Ozzy Osborn, crafting your own minis, and much, much more! It's a real banger!!! A massive thank you to Barry, BJ, Jason, Joe, Karl, and Spencer for the great calls. Now if that's not a gathering of greatness, a collection of coolness, a bunch of bad asses, then I don't know what is...

Let's talk more about Dune, the Dying Earth, faerie-themed literature, and those sticky subjects that seem to pop up in the older fiction we love. I have calls from Karl, BJ, Jason, and a very, very special first time caller! You won't want to miss this one! 

I saw the new Dune movie. 

Just a couple quick non-session recaps and a non-unboxing. It’s more interesting than it sounds!

What? It's totally different. I used "Books" instead of "Death" this time. Totally different. I got some really cool messages about my discussion of Jack Vance's Dying Earth stories and I want to share them with you! We have calls from the GMologist, the Arcane Alienist, and the Shadow of the GM. So many cool monikers calling in to my show. Y'all make a Blind Rat feel so loved! 

It’s a 20+ minute long ramble on the way I prep for a new game. No calls. No weighty subjects. Just me talking about doing something I love.

I said I wouldn't talk about this silly "debate" anymore unless people specifically wanted to. Well, turns out some folks had some stuff to say! Julz from NZ let's us know how she feels about the opposing arguments, Barney's back with a vengeance, and Safer has the perfect analogy. Granted, the opposition doesn't seem to care how good an analogy is, but we still try. We start off the show with the...

Calls from Karl, Spencer and Jason lead me into the meat of this episode. I give my final thoughts (yeah, right) on the idea that the players and the DM are playing different games. Is that why I've heard some UK folks refer to it as a Games Master? It’s all so clear now! I've been so blind! 

Content Warning: In this episode I touch on some sensitive subjects. I talk about fictionalized sexual assault and domestic violence. If you don't want to hear about those topics, please skip the section where I discuss The Dying Earth or pass this episode by completely.  Like it says on the tin, in this episode I talk about my five favorite spooky monsters and discuss my thoughts on book 1 of the...

Spencer, BJ, Karl and Jason have stuff to say about wandering monster tables, fudging, breakfast cereal, and Judas Priest, but mostly wandering monster tables, I promise. It's a good time! 

I tell the tale of one of the most exciting and dynamic fights I’ve ever had playing Pathfinder and answer Jason‘s question about my thoughts on wandering monsters. BJ and Karl join the club as well today. It’s one hell of an episode!
