Favorite Monster/Horror Movies: Midderzine Contest #4

What does this idle Referee’s mind turn to: tinkering! And specifically thinking about smaller scope rules sets: Into the Odd, Maze Rats, Knave, Best Left Buried. My likes & dislikes, and how I might brew them together in a stew.

Roll for Random Thoughts Saturday: Where an Idle Ref’s Mind Turns To?

Calls about the last few gaming episodes from Joe of Hindsightless, Jason of Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast, and Daniel of Bandit’s Keep - mostly regarding Paladins & Rangers, but a dash of other topics too.

Call-in Bonanza 24: Paladins Cause Heartburn?

We take the bandages off the 1932 classic, the Mummy. It’s got it all: eternal love, exotic talented (and effective!) heroine, tyrannical director, curses, cats, dogs, a magic jacuzzi, and Boris Karloff in a fez! Plus a hidden gem that Jason dug up for intermission. Enjoy!

Rob & Jason vs. The Universal Monsters: The Mummy!

I ramble about the motivation conundrum for Paladins & Rangers in S&W and how they may differ significantly from other classes. Also, the restriction/benefit analysis. Plus a dash of initiative.

Ride to Work Ramble: The Paladin/Ranger “Dilemma”

Jason of Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast again joins me for more classic monster movie talk. This time, it’s The Bride of Frankenstein from 1935. Enjoy!

Rob & Jason vs. The Universal Monsters: Here Comes The Bride

Listening to Barry’s Shadow of the GM podcast episode S2:E17 has me thinking about PC advancement rates in classic D&D games. And what motivates the players?

Apprentice to Evoker in how many sessions?

I roll up a new PC for Whispered Tales of Gore after a near TPK, plus calls from Joe, Jason, Daniel, and Tim and a new Midderzine contest announcement.

Rolling Up a New PC plus mini call-in Bonanza

I’m joined again by Jason from Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast as we discuss the 1931 classic, Frankenstein. Just two fans rambling about something they love. Plus pirate singing?!?

Rob & Jason vs. The Universal Monsters Pt. 2: Frankenstein!

Calls about narrative meta currency, and magic swords; responses to Melancholy Monday: Covid & why we’re podcasting (sorry for the delays); the Boy Who Could Fly, session recap, and marmalade.
