Down in a Heap

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...😉

Listener calls doing their Bela Lugosi impersonation in a contest to win their choice of one of the five great Midderzines by Glynn Seal of Monkeyblood Design. Thanks everyone!

I delve into the nitty gritty to model a hypothetical fight as specified by Joe of the Hindsightless podcast between a 1st level 5e Fighter vs a 1st level B/X Fighter with 3 Men at Arms. Let’s get ready to rumble!

Calls from Jason, Daniel, Taylor, B.J., and Goblin’s Henchman about unarmed combat; multiple PCs and henchmen; the changes in D&D over time; B/X 1st level Fighter + Men-at-arms vs. a lone 5e 1st level Fighter; more input on “the Rant”.

Calls in response to my name names rant from: Jason (Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast), Spencer (Keep Off the Borderlands), Daniel (Bandit’s Keep), B.J. (Arcane Alienist), Evil Jeff (Minions & Musings), Menion (Confessions of a Wee Timrous Bushi).

No sugar coating it: this is rant. I rail against cryptic allusions, hearsay, and innuendo directed at the “Old School community “. I also name loads of cool people doing cool things. You know, what probably should get the attention.

Yes, a contest for a copy of the Midderzine! Bonanza features calls from Jason, Daniel, Joe, Goblin’s Henchman, and Taylor about dragons, spell slots, unarmed combat, multiple PCs, Henchmen, and the bastard, Covid.

I’m joined by Jason of Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast as we start our journey taking a long look at the Universal Monster Movies. In part 1, we discuss the original Dracula, the Spanish language release, Dracula’s Daughter, & Son of Dracula. Recorded in November, 2020.

I unbox and give mini reviews of various products from Glynn Seal of Monkeyblood Design: the Midderzines, Chewer if Fingers, and the Bats of Saint Abbans. Cut to the chase - they’re all OUTSTANDING! Highly recommended!
