Hindsightless

Wherein I don't get negative and talk about some of the games I've played lately. Note, I am terrible at session recaps, but I did my best.  Thanks to Barney and Jason for the call ins. 

Wherein I respond to a bevy of call in's about fudging dice rolls from a collection of amazing Anchorites. This was the most relaxing episode I've ever recorded. Thanks for the inspiration, Barney! Thanks so much for the rad messages: Barney: Loco Ludus Andy: Expedition to the Grizzly Peaks Jason: Nerd's RPG Variety Cast Josh: JB Publishing Lonely Adventurer: Camping With Olwbears

Wherein I go on a spoiler filled rant on why I don't fudge and why I don't think you should either. 

Wherein I respond to a bevy of messages on a variety of topics ranging from leveling up, to dungeon crawls, to local slang and regional dialects. It's a free-for-all kicked off by a Free Thrall.  Thanks for the messages: Free Thrall: Keep Off the Border Lands Josh: JB Publishing Andy: Expedition to the Grizzly Peaks Jason: Nerd's RPG Variety Cast John: Red Dice Diaries, Purple Worm

Wherein I talk about, if you couldn't guess from my totally uninspired title, power gaming and leveling up. I also answer a few voice messages from some awesome Anchorites.

Wherein I give my final thoughts (at least for now) on the optimization versus min/maxing debate😎 A wicked big thank you to all you beautiful nerds who took the time out of your day to call in to my silly show: Jason: Nerd's RPG Variety Cast Julz: Jewels from NZ Spencer: Keep off the Border Lands Colin: Spikepit Josh: JB Publishing

Yup, dusting off this ol' chestnut again because I'm starting to see it at my own table. The PC's in my home game just hit level 11 and the separation between the spell caster and the more martial characters is starting to show.  Also, some of the Anchorites weigh in on who's impression of me is best.   Leave me a voice message: https://anchor.fm/joe-richter9 Call In's from: Julz Jason Andy Lieren...

Today I get corrected on my music taste, learn a new word for a woman's nether regions (nether regions is SUCH an unsexy term), get some game suggestions, a receive a message from myself, and end it off with two awesome calls from Shandy Andy on Min/Maxing. Check it out! Leave me a voice message: https://anchor.fm/joe-richter9 Call In's from: Julz: Jewels from NZ Andy: Expedition to the Grizzly Pe...

Wherein I totally bite the style of Free Thrll from Keep Off the Borderlands and step into Controversy Corner. I hope this doesn't alienate me too much from the OSR Anchorite, but I wonder if I'm not alone in this.  Leave your comments here: https://anchor.fm/joe-richter9
