S4E14 - Rhenge with Riley

 Today I got to sit down with Linda Chen, a viral TikTok star working to bring awareness to mental illness and mental health through a Pokemon-esque game in which emotions take on physical aspects like little monsters. It is an amazing conversation about stigma around mental health, cultural and regional and racial pressures around it, and how to get into start-ups. But above all, it is Linda's infectious and bountiful energy that keeps this episode going.

S4E13 - Learning a Lot with Linda

 There is a little story behind today's episode. Jackson Lewis and I have been friends for a long time, and they had mentioned they hadn't had a chance to be on the show yet, so we got them on and we recorded right after Inauguration Day back in January. I was never able to get the episode launched then as my school went back to in-person hybrid ed, so it got left behind in the annuls a little bit. But now, here it is.  A lot of the stuff Jackson and I talk about in today's episode are things that we all need to be talking about - in the gaming and creative sphere and beyond. We need to support creators who are from all different walks of life. LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and disabled creators deserve the spot where they all are next to us and respected for what they make and who they are, and not to be torn down.  Be the change and make the change.  As always, you can support us through our website, and go check out our pre-launch page for Comets & Cockpits and Jackson's for Cryptids Inc.!  WARNING: Some adult language Music: Wave from Adobe Stock (License 356509130)

S4E12 - Two Jackasses Walk Into An Interview

 Today I got a chance to sit down and chat with artist Sariah Keilbart! Sariah was an excellent guest - we talked about art, D&D, how to get involved in creative fields, and a whole other smattering of topics. At the core of it though is a love for art and a love for the artist community across her time on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter - each of which I have linked to Sariah's profiles so YOU can go support her! Below is a sneak peek of a project she is working on - and as always, enjoy the show!  Music: Wave from Adobe Stock (License 356509130)

S4E11 - Speaking with Sariah

 From Comics, Clerics, & Controllers and Mother of Goblins, we bring you the first ever episode of Goblin Games - the show where we bring together our favorite RPG creators and artists to create some fun stuff for an hour once a month! Co-hosted by our own Cameron Day and the lovely Lydia Van Hoy, we brought together creators Druedawes, Cassandra McDonald, and Jackson Lewis!   They were given 15 minutes to craft any kind of RPG supplement or game based around these three prompts: Goblins, GameStop Stock, and 2020. What did they create? Who will continue on? Make sure to follow Lydia on Twitter and keep an eye on their feed for where the voting shall begin!  Keep your eyes peeled for our next episode at the end of the month with three artists from the RPG community!  Notice: Some foul language - we are nerds, we get passionate. Apologies.  Music: Wave from Adobe Stock (License 356509130) Source: Pinterest 

Goblin Games Ep.1: Goblin Game Stonks

 Today I got to set down with Craig Campbell, the big kahuna of NerdBurger Games! Craig has been around RPGs since the early 90s, and out of that love for RPGs bloomed his own brand of niche-setting games with unique mechanics, primarily with his first game Capers. I chatted with Craig about building and developing systems, making the dive into publishing, and his newest Kickstarter (which is live here) as part of the crowdfunding site's Zinequest 3!
