Calls and Anchor conversation with Taylor, Karl, Jason, & Daniel plus Smokey Joe Richter belts out a tune! It’s got it all! 🤪

Seven callers give some of their favorite monster/horror movies for the latest Midderzine contest drawing. Plus my favorite. One that involves a really BIG fish. Enjoy!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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?

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.

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?!?
