Have I already used that one? Seems I can't be bothered to check. Today I answer some rad call in's and talk about the first session of the low magic mini campaign I'm running using a deeply altered Pathfinder 1e. It's a good time! Why is it a good time? Because awesome people took time out of their day to call into my show, so you get to listen to them as well as me! Two for one!

Good grief! When's the last time any of you have had to deal with Prismatic Spray at your table? As the unquestioned king of getting new players into the hobby, I discuss what a crazy spell PS is, and why PF1 is just as deadly as any of the vaunted OSR games I've played, read listened to, or watched.  

A quick run down of the last session of RotRL and a "unique" new insight on a classic spell. 

Is that a click baity title enough for y'all? I go on a little rant about this whole idea that the thing that separates humans from the other species in an RPG is their versatility. It ain't. To misquote a classic, "If it breeds, we can't kill it."

I'm recording this the day before my birthday, which means it's already my birthday in certain parts of the world! #worldwide A big shout out to Barry, Lieren and Jason for your super thoughtful advice on my moral quandary. Even though I don't need to, I'm going to say it anyways; go check out Shadow of the GM, Updates from the Middle of Nowhere, and Nerd's RPG Variety Cast. They're great. You're...

I’m stuck in a quagmire folks; The moral kind. What’s a dungeon master to do? Help me, Anchor-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope. I mean, you’re not really my *only* hope but it sure would be awesome if you could help out. Thanks for the call, Jason. You’re awesome! Oh yeah, I also talk about my last session of our Rise of the Runelords game.

I talk about North Watch, the starting town I'm building for the mini-campaign I'l be running next month. I love world building and if anyone wants to hear more about what's going on in North Watch, let me know. 

I felt that the title of the greatest goth metal song, by the greatest goth metal band (Type O Negative) would be the perfect fit to talk about my most recent session of Rise of the Runelords. It was a silken pink bloodbath. Also, Type O rules!  As always (at least lately); here there be spoilers!

Today I talk more about Mystera and all its' beautiful weirdness and give a rundown on what happened in last night's awesome session of Rise of the Runelords. Did my new character, Alastair Bronzebarrow, work the way I thought he would? Did the battle play out the way I hoped? What do Jason C and Rob C (no relation) have to say? Answers to these questions and so much more await you!

I know, another episode from me already? Yup. I love it when folks call in because it gives me stuff to talk about. I also talk about my new favorite old setting. 

I received some pushback from my last episode and let it not be sad that I do not give my detractors a voice on my platform. The majority of this episode is dedicated to talk about my new character.

What happened yesterday was started by, encouraged by, and supported by Donald Trump, the worst president this country has ever had. If someone supports Donald Trump, then they are a cultist. They're not a part of a political party. They're members of a very dangerous cult; blindly believing whatever their cult leader tells them. They should be ashamed of themselves, but they're all too stupid, se...

 A quick one to respond to a rad call in from my fellow Pathfinder aficionado, Shawn. I also talk a bit more about the low magic/low fantasy setting I'm putting together. 

A question from Jason deserves a response from Puck himself🤣 I also talk about the gaming I’ve been thinking about lately. Merry Christmas and happy holidays🎄

Just a short one here (that's what he said) where I answer some awesome call in's from Shawn and Jason. Thanks for the messages, boys. 

Third time's the charm. Well, this is only the second time, but two out of three ain't bad. Meatloaf rules! Herein I ACTUALLY tell you about my recent time with  Rise of the Runelords. We're deep into book 5 now and it's still all the way awesome! This was our last session before the New year, so I guess I'll have to come up with something else to talk about for a few weeks. Oh, and I once again (...

I didn't think of the title until I was done recording but I have to give a big shout out to ol' Spikepit for introducing me to that pithy little saying.  Today I talk about the two, count 'em two, sessions of Rise of the Runelords that I played in since my last episode. Later, I postulate about the Pathfinder feat I might ban in my next campaign.  I'm sure you've already noticed, but I am the wor...

I talk about the book I just finished reading, my latest session of Rise of the Runelords, and talk about the unquestionably deadliest part of any RPG. 

Jason's smart enough to get the people he wants to talk to on his show and I'm not, so this is what you get🤣 You're already listening to Nerd's RPG Variety Cast, so you don't need me to tell you how great of a show it is. 

My retelling of the conclusion to book 4 of Paizo's amazing adventure path, Rise of the Runelords. As always, major spoilers abound. Is this the best pre-written, fantasy campaign of all time?? Yes. Have I played them all? No. 

A fairly short and confuse one for me tonight. Thanks to Karl for the info and call in’s. You’re a cool dude. Be good to each other out there folks.

The first 2 minutes of this episode is a highly charged political rant, so feel free to skip it. I had to record it multiple times because the first couple of takes were too... much. This is the toned down version. I put the rant at the start so anyone can skip over it and get right into the rest of the non political episode.  Cheers! I recount the three, count 'em THREE, games I played in this we...

Just a quick re-cap of this week's Rise of the Runelords game. A few folks have mentioned that they enjoy hearing about my sessions, but these re-caps are really more for future Joe than anything else. I think it'll be cool to have a saved memory of my first ever complete Pathfinder Adventure Path. 

It's official. I am, once again, part of the working world. No longer will I have endless free time to plum the depths of gaming minutia. This makes me sad. This opportunity I have is really amazing though. I'll be working directly to better the lives of people. I'm stoked! I'm also stoked about these two messages. A wicked warm congratulatory message from Spencer and an explosive thought experime...

The countdown to my first day on the new job has begun in earnest and I wanted to get in one more episode before the big day. I have a lot to say about last night's totally kick ass session of Rise of the Runelords (major spoilers for Book 4) and I have two awesome messages from Shawn and Jason. Is that one message from each? Two messages each? Some other ratio of messages to caller? Answers to th...
