Joethelawyer's Analog Mancave

Leisure EN ↓ 216 episodes

Joe is an old bastard who puts out videos on D&D, both old school and new. He’s been playing D&D since 1984. He sometimes does videos with his brother Mike, called the Joe and Bro Firepit Show, where they talk about the D&D games they each play and run, while sitting in his brother’s backyard around his firepit. Roscoe the dog, known as “Squirrelbane” to his enemies, sometimes visits while they yammer on. There’s usually much alcohol and other semi-legal things consumed during these shows, so they aren’t for the faint of heart. Often, they aren’t even coherent or comprehensible.
