The episode in which we discuss range, space, and distance, and how it's handled through theater of the mind and minis-based games, as well as how 2d20s concept of 'zones' can work well with either.

What are Chris and I looking forward to, individually, in gaming over 2022? What releases have our interest, and what do we hope to do with our respective groups? We discuss these, and some Covid, in this episode.

We take shots at the game and the system a lot, we know, and so we thought it was time to devote an episode to explaining ourselves to you. Spoiler: we actually think there is quite a lot to like about 5e...and yet...

Recorded while Jeremy and Chris could not harmonize their schedules, this episode includes our first guest host, John - military combat veteran and current law enforcement officer - whose life experiences color his views on gaming and game rules. We had an interesting discussion of the core mechanic and how we think it's a significant improvement over the stock Year Zero Engine, and spent time on how the combat system creates situations and forces decisions that closely resemble the real thing.

After about six months of podcasting and a lot of gaming, we decided to look back on all of 2021 and reflect on the good.

A follow-up to our favorites discussion, herein we talk about some of our worst gaming experiences by system. And don't get your nose out of joint over these - we all have games we've played that we just didn't like, for some reason or another. On the upside, consider this: if some of your favorites are some of our least favorites, we will never compete over the last copy.

Herein Chris and I go full-frontal op-ed, sharing our fondest and best game memories by system.

I played a lot of PF 1e when it replaced DnD 4e at our table, and it was great...up to about 6th level. Having moved away from PF when DnD 5e came out, I have to date only give PF 2e a cursory glance. Chris, on the other hand, has played and run it and promises that there are many noteworthy improvements in 2e...and so we took this episode to talk about the newest version of the system.

A notional combat encounter between Conan and pirate cultists and their vile leader...

The first in a series of 'notional combat encounters' we're going to work through for different 2d20 games, to help nail down how combat flows and what options are available, and also to compare combat between the different games.
