Hindsightless

This is the first in a new series of episodes where I'll talk about the book(s) I'm currently reading. I'll sprinkle these J.R.R. Talkin episodes in amongst my regular episodes. All praise to the immortal Goblin's Henchman for this truly genius name! I had to do something with this fantastic name, then Jason called in with a question about a book I was reading. Eureka! The concept of these episode...

Jason wants swear words, Karl pontificates on possible post-apocalyptic systems, and I discussed two of my favorite RPG supplements. It's a good time!

Given my recent diatribes on the evils of the phrase "beer and pretzels", is anyone really surprised that I went with the alternate word for today? Jason extends an olive branch, Julz drops some Maori, and Karl waxes about floods. It's RPG-A-Day #14 and it's awesome!!!

Julz and Jason have thoughts. Thoughts that they want to share with you! Then I mess everything up by talking about floods or something. 

We finally finished Rise of the Runelords and I discuss the super crazy final battle. Mr. Henchman and Karl then stop by for a chat. Then our old friend Spike Pit leads us perfectly into today's topic of think. I go on a pretty savage rant about some folks that weren't thinking for themselves. 

Jason’s talking beer & pretzels, two of the FUNdamental building blocks of D&D. Then I start getting all esoteric and talk about getting weird in the woods.

There was a quick turn around after the Masters of the Universe episode and Jason and Karl have some stuff to say about the Netflix cartoon. Should we trust what they have to say? See what I did there? I also talk about trust in gaming.  Let me also give a big shout out to my totally awesome sister! She absolutely rocks and is the best sister ever!

B.J. of the Arcane Alienist podcast calls in with some fantastic feedback on the Masters of the Universe episode that I did with Julz from NZ. He's got some really cool insight and corrections toon may MotU lore knowledge. I'm including the link to the Youtube channel he references because it's a really interesting channel.  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg_CCOtabpHyZyCQkB8NsuQ

For today's word, stream, the captivating Julz From NZ stops by to discuss the new Masters of the Universe show currently streaming on Netflix. What does Julz, with no prior exposure to He-Man, think about the new cartoon and is it different from me, who grew up with the original? Tune in to find out!

Calls from Jason, Karl, and Mr. Henchman round out this tiny episode. 

Today's episode is an unplanned simulcast with the GMologist Presents podcast. Karl and I are both talking about Game of Thrones. Go check out his show then come back. I also have a call from B.J. and a totally not-kicking-up-dust call from Jason. This is a fun one, folks!

Karl and Jason call in about my episode on weapons and ol' Spike Pit leads us right into our discussion on thrones. Enjoy!

Today I talk about the most dangerous weapon of all. No, not love. I’m talking about magic and fighting a super high-level wizard.

A few calls from Karl leads us right into today's discussion of tactics. 

Some of Anchor's brightest stars pop in to share their wisdom on a few of the topics from my past couple shows. We'll be talking shopping, social encounters, and combat duration. Today's show features; Barney, Colin, Goblin's Henchman, Jason, Karl, Rob C., and Spencer!!! Now, if that ain't an all-star cast, I don't know what is! 

Map talk and calls from Jason and Karl. Thanks, dudes! 

It's RPG-A-Day time again! That snuck right up on me. Let's kick this thing off with some talk about scenarios. 

Barney and Karl call in with their thoughts on shopping and social situations in RPG's and I make one of my always popular comparisons between OSR games and Pathfinder.

Warning: If hearing raw emotion isn't your thing, you may want to skip this one. And this was the take that I could use! Here's a rad message from Karl and the news I was alluding to in episode 209. 

I'm back folks! After a bombardment of episodes from me, I took a little break. Now, I'm back with some hot new calls and a session recap of an amazing session in which I recently played!  What happens when you put me, Spencer, Barney, Andy, Jason, and TJ all in the same virtual room? Sci-fi shenanigans, that's what. 

It looks like the Anchorites are planning RichterCon202X and they got some amazing ideas!!! Jason, B.J., Karl, Mr. Henchman, and Andy all throw their hats into the ring on when, where and how this Con should be birthed. Let's get messy! Here's the link to the Youtube show I was talking about. You should totally check this dude's channel, Historia Civilis. It totally rocks! https://www.youtube.com/...

I played some games for the first time in what seems like forever! Let's talk about 'em!!! Games might've been a stretch. 

Coming at you faster than the spray from my AK, it's another episode about guns! Jason has some more to say and Karl Rodriguez drops some gun science on our butts. He also talks about the worst RPG ever, though he doesn't know he's doing it. If that doesn't hook 'em, I don't know what will. Wait... am I typing this or just thinking it? S*@t, I think I'm typing it! I gotta stop!

Hey, Joe! Where you going with that gun in your hand? In what might be the last episode on guns, Barry of the GM Shadow podcast and Collin of the Spike Pit media empire share their thoughts on the subject. Collin and Barry are joined by our good friend Johnny, and Johnny's got a story to tell. 

Hello there, boys and girls. Today were going to learn about hydrostatic shock with our pal Jason. Can you say "hydrostatic"? Then, brother B.J. blesses our brains with his waggish wisdom on Walter and the Wardrobe. Lastly, friend T.J. has something yum yum yummy bubbling away in his tummy. Can you say "vegan"? No? Neither can ol' Papa Joe
