A response show of sorts to episodes by Colin Green of Spikepit, where he ponders whether or not a d20 is “swingy” and if that idea has been taken as collective wisdom. Plus calls from Ray Otus of Plundergrounds and Karl Rodriguez of GMologist.

Calls from Jason and Daniel about the S&W box set review; how it compares with OSE and my additional thoughts on what worked and missed opportunities.

A few calls from Daniel of The Bandit’s Keep podcast & YouTube plus some quick thoughts on issues I hear some discuss about Thieves in Classic D&D. Too pathetic? System too wonky? Retries? Thieves’ Tools?

Send in the clowns, the Redshirts, the cannon fodder...or maybe the peeps that will save your bacon. Calls from John of Red Dice Diaries help me examine this fun aspect of classic D&D.

I review the new Swords & Wizardry box set edition from Frog God Games, and also give a brief comp to the popular Old School Essentials box set by Necrotic Gnome.

Back from vacation with a bunch of calls from Jason, BJ, Daniel, John Large, Lieren, and Logan with a wide range of topics. Some might prompt something akin to insight from me; some of my rambling might be drivel. You decide😂

My brain is already half on vacation. A ramble about that and what I’m noodling about for game campaign material and themes.

A call from Colin Green of Spikepit about the intent of his statement that “it’s all just D&D” prompts me to attempt a rambling (and hopefully coherent) continuation of the conversation. Thanks Colin!

Calls from Logan of Sword Breaker, Randy of Biggus Geekus, Randy of the Dice are Screaming, my friend Brian and some old favorites: Jason, Joe, Daniel, and B.J. plus...a preview of the next one - a call from Colin of Spikepit that requires me, the old wind bag, a separate episode to reply to.

What is this podcast about and where am I coming from? A peek back into the dusty archives - has anything changed? It’s still rubbish...😉
