Minions and Musings

Since it is that time of year (here in the U.S.) to be thankful, I give you the things I'm thankful for because of RPGs.

Wherein I pick up on another thought born from the podcast where I spoke about reading with RPGs. What do I want from a game or, more to the point, what do I get from the game? I ramble on for a bit. I also have two calls this week - Joe from the Dekahedron podcast and Jason.

I attended Mythic Con 2024 in Charlotte, NC recently. This is my report and thoughts of the day 1 experience.

Due to some technical issues, this episode got really delayed. I think I'm back up and running. Spencer calls in! I respond! Jason also calls in. But, you already knew that would happen....

I begin musing about how important reading is to playing RPGs but then talk about something else. Click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Evil Jeff Speakpipe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to use Speakpipe, OR send an audio file to evil.jeff@outlook.com or via Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Another musing that was borne from a podcast that Rob of Down In A Heap did. It was one of those moments of realization, almost an epiphany, that I had while talking with Minion Delta.

If you did not read that in your best Columbo voice, shame upon you! Another musing occurred while mowing (best time for thinking some days) and I felt that putting it out there instead of waiting several months was the way to go. So, have at it!

Two call-ins, two packages, two sets of comments. What more could you ask for? Okay, how about my thoughts on the schedule for the next season of the podcast? That should work for ya.

NOT a quick podcast. Wow, did I just talk and talk. Talked about the OSE game and leveling up with my characters and then went on and on about the Mouse Guard RPG. The artwork alone is worth the money.

Just a quick podcast to update on future items and a thought about why some RPGs are about character builds.

As I announced previously, this is my putting together a podcast using some new software. The app is Podcast Maker: Home Studio App by Vulcan Labs. Almost all of the audio was recorded in the app and the tail end of the podcast was finished in the Anchor app to note something after I finished recording. If you have questions about what I experienced, I suggest contacting me via Discord or the emai...

I had a thought this morning and discussed it with Minion Delta as I took her to school. We didn't record anything but I put down my thoughts from this morning and added a few things.

I have a bit of musing about how I have reacted to some situations when I game and when I don't get the opportunity to game. Self-reflection is always an interesting thing to do.

I try something different as I record in pieces across several days and capture my thoughts on spirits in the Spirit Woods of Fellmyr and cycles that these spirits go through. Maybe you will find it interesting. I'm glad that I finished thinking about it and wrote down the ideas that were taking up space in my head.

...but my time did have something to show, or tell, you. I talk about the elven calendar in Fellmyr, the human calendar (called the Yeshua calendar), and lining them up.

Are building up an immunity to the effects of this topic? Daniel and Mirke the Meek both call in and I try to not go on a rant but will not make any promises about that. There is even a challenge made somewhere in there. I also look ahead and mention possible upcoming topics.

....by just talking a bit. Getting ill and having a holiday between the last time I made a podcast does take you out of the groove. So, I'll talk about about some creative endeavour I've been doing and I'll also recall something else I encountered at the convention that makes me think of the type of player I should try to be.

Herein I talk about my experience attending Mythic Con in Charlotte, NC on its second day. I'll talk about the two games I played in and some other thoughts along the way.
