Hindsightless

Wherein I talk about a nbuch of stuff while I make chicken soup and Bob Segar plays in the background. I've made this episode as sim0le for myself to put out as possible as try previous two episodes where such a pain in the ass. Thanks to Julz & Jason for the super rad call in's!

Wherein I discuss using, or not using, light and darkness mechanics in your role playing games. Featuring call in's from Colling, Lieren, Jason, Spencer, and Shandy Andy. 

Wherein I talk about player reactions to bad die rolls, tough fights, and other times when their character is challenged. No, this isn't about you. Or you. And certainly not you.  Before that, I'll dive into some great messages from the like of Andy, Randy, Lieren, Jeff, and Jason. As always, thank you all so much for taking the time to call in and share your thoughts with me. 

This episode has taken me FOREVER to put out. I am glad to be done with it. Some of the delays were my fault, others were Achor's fault. But here it is. I hope you enjoy and thanks to everyone who took the time to call in. Sorry it took me so long to get to these. 

Wherein I give a behind the scenes glimpse into our DIY, seat-of-our-pants process for putting out the Weal or Woe podcast. Thinking about starting an actual play? Wondering what goes into that? Here's how the Weal crew does it. Hopefully there's something in here that someone can get out of my ramblings. 

Wherein Jason clarifies his stance on the video game/mass shooting epidemic we have here, and only here, in America. 

Wherein I discuss my first attempt at being an online DM, or Keeper in this case. I also wrap up our discussion of sex/intimacy in gaming, as it appears that it scared off some folks. Sorry abut that, y'all.  Thanks to Collin, Julz, Lieren, Randy, & Spencer for the awesome call ins. Y'all rock!

Wherein I respond to a bevy of call-ins on a variety of my previous episodes. Thanks to Dave, Larry, Lieren, Jason and Spencer for your very cool call ins that provided me with enough content to put out an entire episode. Y'all are the best!

Wherein I ponder why describing murder is ok around an RPG table but describing a sexual, or even romantic, scene seems taboos. Featuring cal-ins from the Pit and the Middle of Nowhere.  This episode might not be for everyone so I slapped it with the "explicit" label. 

I'm back! Thanks to Julz & Spencer for calling in and telling me to keep going! I super appreciate your support.  In my very first non- RPG-A-Day episode I discuss the single best comic gook movie of all time, and probably the best movie to come out of 1994. 

Wherein I talk about my experiences with RPG-A-Day and joining the Anchor community. I also do two readings from T.S. Eliot's epic poem East Coker and feature a call in from the beyond wonderful Lieren.  Thanks everyone so being so warm and welcoming to me. You really know how to make a fella feel special. 

This episode is a roller coaster of greatness. It starts off super strong, then nose dives, then peaks again, only to be followed by another dip in quality. And I do mean dip lol Featuring calling from the immortal Colin SpikePit Green & the wickedly talented Julz from NZ. My life is pretty damn good :-) 

A bonus episode wherein I shamelessly plug my actual play Pathfinder 2E podcast, Weal or Woe. Our 2nd season debuted tonight so it's a perfect time to jump on board or check us out if you're interested.  iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/book-2-chapter-1-verse-1-deep-anxiety-in-my-soul/id1416888202?i=1000448134430 Podbean: https://wealorwoe.podbean.com/e/book-2-chapter-1-verse-1-deep-a...

Wherein I respond to Lieren from Updates From the Middle of Nowhere and her super rad husband Jess, from Tome of All Dooms. I also ramble about how much our hobby has evolved over the years. 

Wherein I endeavor not to get too sappy or sentimental, though I'll more than likely fail. I start off this episode with a reading from Lord Bryron's "She Walks in Beauty" and end it with two amazing songs that mean a lot to me. Now get out of here and go love somebody :-)

An episode featuring me, myself, and I wherein I discuss my inability to create suspense in my players. 

Hark, I have an idea! Featuring some kind words from the amazing Lieren from Updates From the Middle of Nowhere and my response to being unmasked by the investigative genius, Collin Spikepit Green. Mea culpa, y'all. Mea culpa big time.  Do yourselves a favor and check this show out!  Tales From My D&D Campaign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2971j1O3tGM&list=PLylLGJF4VZY7Wya1zdWY3ExLfitPCdJEN Demo...

Wherein I reflect on the calamity of the WOTC pre=programed adventures. Several of them are garbage

Where and I totally cheat

Heretofore I shall regale you with tales of what primes my pump as a DM. This episode also features awesome voice messages left by Lieren & Jeff, stars of the fantastic new podcast, Updates from the Middle of All Dooms. 

Wherein I speak of being lost. Featuring a reading fro paradise Lost and a poem by the fantastic Emily Dickinson. 

Wherein I wax philosophic on the vastness of our hobby. As an example of this fact, this episode features call ins from the East Coast of the USA, the UK and points seemingly far beyond. A big thank you for the call ins to Spencer and Lieren; and a super special thank you to my new caller/listener, Julz. 

Wherein I read the Noble background option for Pathfinder 2E character creation. Featuring a voice message from the one, the only Lieren.

Wherein I discuss fear.

Wherein I ramble on about food in RPG's for a bit, then we hear from the wonderful Lieren. I also include a few lines from T.S. Elliot which I feel sums up the quality of my show rather nicely.
