| 12 Oct 2024 | Take this healing potion to asuage the pain of my being gone. | 00:14:22 | |
I know, I know... it has been painful without hearing my wit and voice. Some may have even gone into withdrawals. Well, I'm back. Let's talk about a little of what happened in the interregnum and something about healing potions that I might implement in a future game.

Still digging away, I find something that has put a bigger stamp on my gaming than probably anything else. But, that statement might be a bit premature. Want to leave me a message?

| 14 Aug 2021 | BX Companion Deep Dive Part 3 - Spells: Magic Users | 01:00:03 | |
Herein continues the deep dive, now onto Part 3 which is the spells section. This time, I look at the magic user spell list, noting similarities and difference between the 1st through 6th level spells. I then look at the similarities and differences between the newly added 7th, 8th, & 9th level spells. The quest for this deep dive is simple - Will this rules set work for expanding play beyond the 14th level cap in the original B/X rules or make a mess of things? Is it different enough from the Rules Cyclopedia that one should use it instead of the former? Listen along with me over the next several podcasts to see what the outcome will be. The format of this deep dive was inspired by Rob C of the Down in a Heap podcast. This series of podcasts was started from a general comment and (sorta) challenge from Jason of the Nerd's RPG Variety Cast podcast. New logo artwork is from the hand of Minion Bravo!

| 25 Jun 2019 | Wherein creativity hit a snag. | 00:17:40 | |
Have you ever hit a bit of a wall when trying to be creative? When you start one way, decide to change, and have a massive mental block or something else that drags you down? This podcast, I share a recent creativity issue I had and am now asking for you, the listener, to call back and give any advice or even describe your creative snafu. Music: "Simplify" by Wes King | |||
| 08 Jan 2020 | Review Time - Pacesetter's BX Remastered Part 1 | 00:16:44 | |
So, what happens to the first kickstarted I ever back? Why, it was late. That makes me like many others who backed other kickstarters. But, it was the curious excuses and infrequent updates that really bothered me. So, what does Pacesetter bring to the table with their take on the BX rules we love? Part one allows me to state my position about the kickstarter and talk about the physical aspects of the book. | |||
| 16 Sep 2023 | Time to lay down some tracks.... | 00:15:00 | |
....and speak my mind about a specific type of railroading. I also have to let Jason know that we use two different gauges so our trains are not compatible. .....That doesn't sound quite right. Anyway, I also make a clarification from the last podcast. Want to leave me a message?

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.

....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.

We continue the dive into the Talislanta RPG. I will (eventually) cover all six free editions. The goal is to give you, the listener, an idea of the Talislanta system, the world of Talislanta (No Elves!!), and my thoughts as I read through the main books of the Talislanta RPG. The subject of this podcast is The Chronicles of Talislanta, a book that gives a similar vibe to the D&D Gazetteers. Let's find out more about the lands and denizens of Talislanta.

Yes, herein I go over the newly revised BX Remastered Dungeon Guide and see if they fixed all of the issues. Betting windows are now closed so no more wagering. I hope I can stay civil throughout this whole endeavor. | |||
| 25 Jan 2020 | Letting my mind wander around today | 00:12:48 | |
Just some random thoughts that have crossed my mind over the last few weeks. Also, talk about upcoming gaming with Minion Delta. It's nice to have a little downtime where I'm not running around the minions or dealing with some chore list today. | |||

| 17 Jul 2020 | Dwarves and Elves are not heroes.... or, what I read in the Hobbit that makes me think. | 00:13:44 | |
Reading the Hobbit to the Minions, I came across a passage that has me feeling that many people playing RPGs are making the demi-humans more heroic than they were intended. Should a GM be a bit more strict in how these dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, and other demi-humans are played? There it is. Discuss. | |||

| 04 Nov 2023 | #OSRtober - Through Dungeons Deep, part 3 | 00:20:06 | |
For #OSRtober (any other permutation is not acceptable) podcasts, I am reading and give my thoughts on the book Through Dungeons Deep, by Robert Plamondon. This is the last section and it covers campaigns. I'm going to say it is more advice than just being an OSR thing. Let's see what the author has to say. Want to leave me a message?

| 27 Nov 2021 | But I wrote that down that my character is the heir to the throne! .... or, musing further about backgrounds | 00:15:29 | |
After hearing some talk about backgrounds from Joe at Hindsightless and Kevin at The Redcaps Podcast, I had to talk a bit about it. Yeah, I've talked about it before but their conversation helped firm up things in my mind. PLUS!! A once in a lifetime event as the second half of the podcast. Just what could it be?

Wherein you will hear a conversation/interview with my uncle. I ask him questions about reading Sci-Fi and Fantasy in the early days and we go through several other things in under an hour.

| 18 Sep 2021 | BX Companion Deep Dive Part 7 - Treasure! | 00:50:19 | |
Part 7 of the BX Companion Deep Dive is on Treasure. Really, this is why the characters adventure, to get sweet loot! Does the Companion rules fit in well with the original BX or should we use what the Rules Cyclopedia gives us? There may be a surprise here and there. The quest for this deep dive is simple - Will this rules set work for expanding play beyond the 14th level cap in the original B/X rules or make a mess of things? Is it different enough from the Rules Cyclopedia that one should use it instead of the former? Listen along with me over the next several podcasts to see what the outcome will be. The format of this deep dive was inspired by Rob C of the Down in a Heap podcast.

| 09 Feb 2020 | How about a little update?... or doing a quick podcast instead of work prep. | 00:17:19 | |
Figure that I would push out a podcast instead of working on the job stuff today. So, a quick update on how Minion Delta and I rolled up characters and some of the things we will use for this hexcrawl game. A bit of info on Minion Bravo as well. Hexflowers we will use from Goblin's Henchman - | |||

| 28 Jun 2020 | If a train going 100 mph leaves the station going west... or my current issue with time and distance. | 00:24:26 | |
Wherein I get Minion Bravo to assist with a physical test of distance over time. I raise an issue with movement and time in D&D and we do an experiment to help us both see if the rules hold up or trip before they get to the finish line. Afterwards, some discussion about the results and how they can relate to our games. And yes, I did have to edit out one of the Minion's name in the recording. | |||
| 04 Sep 2021 | BX Companion Deep Dive Part 5 - The Encounter | 00:38:38 | |
Part 5 of the BX Companion Deep Dive is The Encounter. When you are high levels, what changes in an encounter? Optional rules, Mass combat rules, expanded attack matrices, and saving throw charts.

| 06 Sep 2019 | So, I heard something the other day....or, an idea for a new campaign. | 00:14:10 | |
You never know where inspiration will strike. After listening to Roleplay Rescue podcast, I finally got an idea so what to do with my campaign as it winds down, since the oldest minion is leaving for the military. What could I do when it's just myself and minion Delta the sit down and play a game? Herein, I speak a little bit about what I heard, the inspiration, and when I think we're going to do going forward.

Start by answering two voice messages that I received. Then, tackling a question from Jason of the Nerds RPG Variety podcast. Why is fantasy the most common theme for RPGs instead of Wild West or Horror or something else? I definitely would like to hear some feedback about my thoughts. | |||
| 11 Oct 2019 | Well, will you look at the time.... Or, what have I not done much of with the campaign this week. | 00:15:59 | |
Wherein I do my own drive home podcast and do a quick update on how little I managed to do from the last time I recorded. Talk about how to deal with not buying the mapping software but use what I have to do what I need. Also give a shout-out to the Anchorites on the Audio Dungeon Discord server and mention IRC.

| 11 Sep 2021 | BX Companion Deep Dive Part 6 - Monsters | 00:30:02 | |
Part 6 of the BX Companion Deep Dive is Monsters. What do you encounter as a high level character? Are there suitable challenges when you are over 14th level? Let's see what the stats are here. The quest for this deep dive is simple - Will this rules set work for expanding play beyond the 14th level cap in the original B/X rules or make a mess of things? Is it different enough from the Rules Cyclopedia that one should use it instead of the former? Listen along with me over the next several podcasts to see what the outcome will be. The format of this deep dive was inspired by Rob C of the Down in a Heap podcast. This series of podcasts was started from a general comment and (sorta) challenge from Jason of the Nerd's RPG Variety Cast podcast. New logo artwork is from the hand of Minion Bravo!

| 07 Aug 2021 | BX Companion Deep Dive Part 3 - Spells: Intro & Cleric spells | 00:43:57 | |
Herein continues the deep dive, now onto Part 3 which is the spells section. I look at the general rules for casting and the the cleric spell list, noting similarities and difference between the 1st through 5th level spells. I then look at the similarities and differences between the newly added 6th & 7th level spells. The quest for this deep dive is simple - Will this rules set work for expanding play beyond the 14th level cap in the original B/X rules or make a mess of things? Is it different enough from the Rules Cyclopedia that one should use it instead of the former? Listen along with me over the next several podcasts to see what the outcome will be.

This musing came from all of the talk with Dungeon 23 and how something like this might fit in my world. Then, I start wondering about game styles.

| 03 Oct 2020 | The BX Options Class Builder example worksheet. | 00:44:37 | |
I do an average job of going through an already built class to see if it lines up with the XP requirements that one should expect in a BX game with the listed abilities of the class. Then I get to rambling on more about the classes in Pacesetter's BX Remastered book as it related to the Class Builder book. Maybe I need help to just let go of how I feel about that product..... | |||
