The word of the day is Schade so I talk about undead and how cool they are to use in your game. I also do an impromptu review of the trilogy that I’m currently reading. August 8 is a beautiful day.

With not much to say on the word of the day, I start f the episode by attempting to a mistake I made yesterday. I go on to talk a bit about cool fantasy couples then answer a bunch of rad call in's that have been building up since this thing started. Thanks for the messages and thanks for listening.

A rambling, meandering talk about forests. It’s basically the same thing as hiking through the woods so just stay inside and listen to this😎

in this episode I pay tribute to the awesome game session I had tonight👍

A little chat about vision😎

I talk about the coolest and most helpful world building exercise I ever under took.

I talk about changes. Not the most upbeat and it gets pretty political, so feel free to skip this one. 

It's my official 1st Anniversary on Anchor!!! That said and with the word of the day being "beginnings" what else could I talk about? 

Yeah.. So...  This was supposed to come out yesterday, but I got caught up watching the return of the NBA. I love basketball and it was awesome watching a major U.S. sports league show the amount of class, compassion and social awareness that the NBA showed last night. Anyway, enough about sports ball. This show is supposed to be about roleplaying games, right? Well, I have some stuff to say about...

Just a quick status report of my effort to learn and implement Roll20 as someone with a visual disability.

It's been awhile but I'm back, for better or for worse. I've played a lot of games since last we spoke and I want to talk about them. I've played Pathfinder 1E, Monster Hearts, and D&D 5E. This was the most I've played in a row since I was probably 14 years old and it's been awesome! I'm also lucky enough to have a handful of rad call in's that I want to share, then I make a big(?), possibly-not g...

Here there be major spoilers for the end of Book 1 and the start of Book 2 for Paizo's Rise of the Runelords adventure path. I played in two really great sessions this week in which I experienced one of those once-in-a-campaign type events and heard something awesome that every DM should want to hear from a new player. Let me tell you all about them! We end the episode with a message from Spencer,...

You want responses to my responses? I got responses to my responses!  In S5E5 I asked John Large and Rob C. each a question, and in this episode they were gracious enough to give me their answers Thanks for being so cool, boys. Jason's got some cool stuff to say as well  Check out their shows: Jason: Nerd's RPG Variety Cast podcast John Large: RDD RPG podcast Rob C.: Down In a Heap podcast Thanks...

I was introduced to Judd Karlman of the terrific Daydreaming About Dragons podcast through Andy's awesome Expedition to the Grizzly Peaks show, where Andy interviewed Judd. I then looked up Judd on Anchor and started listening to his podcast. After reaching out to him, it turns out he started listening to my show as well. Here are a few of the really cool things Judd had to say.  This isn’t an int...

A continuation of my Fluffy Killers episode featuring the esteemed John Allan Large of the RDD RPG podcast and the incomparable Rob C. of the Down in a Heap podcast. Smart dudes saying smart things, and I'm there too.  Check out their shows if you're not already. They're great!

A game report about non murder hoboism and responses to my Fluffy Killers episode.  Rad messages from: Andy: Expeditions to the Grizzly Peaks podcast Jason: Nerd's RPG Variety Cast podcast Spencer: Keep Off the Border Lands podcast Collin: Spikepit podcast

In response to Barney's message on my last episode I talk about my experience with total party kills in the games I run. Then I weigh in on the ongoing discussion of what's too much in terms of pre-campaign setting information and/or character backgrounds. I'm sure I don't have anything contentious to say on those topics. Lastly I have a couple of rad messages left by two awesome Anchorites.  Spec...

It's the session report of my second session of the Rise of the Runelords Pathfinder 1e Adventure Path in which I'm playing and I talk some more about what I like and don't like about Roll20. I also expand on my thoughts on puzzles in response to a call in from John of the RDD RPG podcast.  A special thanks for the call in's: Jason: Nerd's RPG Variety Cast John: RDD RPG podcast Collin "Spikepit" G...

In this episode I talk about my first session in the Rise of the Runelords campaign that I just joined and the final session of my 20th level Pathfinder 1e 3-shot I've been running for a few of my friends. Both were epic. Can I convey that epicness? Doubtful. Lastly, I have three absolutely lovely congratulatory call in's from three super rad individuals.  I touch lightly on several topics in in t...

This is it! My 100th episode, wherein I reflect on reaching the 100 episode milestone and talk about my experiences in building a character on Roll20. Featuring call in'sfrom (in no particular order & I hope I got everyone):  Spikeput, RFED, Free Thrall, d_percentile, Julz from NZ, Jason, Che Webster, Edwin, Evil Jeff, Goblin's Henchmen, John Allen Large, Thought Eater, RPG Retro Fit, Updates From...

Wherein I talk about the second session of my 20th level game of Pathfinder 1e and share some awesome gaming news I recently received. The title is an E 40 album, which I felt was appropriate considering the number of the episode.  The first 3 minutes or so of today's episode are very political and contain no gaming. Feel free to skip ahead or skip this episode entirely.  A big, big thank you to t...

Wherein I share the mic with the wonderful Julz Burgisser as we talk through the process of making her 20th level rogue for my Pathfinder 1e 3-shot. Part 2 of our discussion will be on her podcast sometime in the near future.

Wherein I tell the tale of the first session of my 20th level Pathfinder 2-shot that I ran for five of my friends. A massive shout out to the amazing Spikepit for providing the perfect intro for this episode.  Huge thanks to: Jason: Nerd's RPG Variety Cast Barry: Shadow of the GM 

It's here! The spine-chilling, sanity shredding conclusion of, The Spoon That Binds; the globe trotting, World War I era scenario from Anchor's real life Call of Cthulhu investigator, Inspector Henchmen. This episode contains descriptions of war, dismemberment, and death. Listen at your own risk. You have been warned. 

Wherein I discuss what an amazing time I've been having while prepping for the 20th level two-shot of Pathfinder 1e I'll be running for 5 of my friends. I've heard lots of folks say that D&D "breaks down" at high levels and I don't agree. Prepping for this game has been unlike anything I've done before and I am absolutely loving it.  Any of the folks playing in this game probably shouldn't listen...
