Hindsightless

Will this be the episode that gets taken down? Let's find out together! Today I'm joined by Brother Chainmail, Professor Green, the mysterious Cody M, and the Other Jason. Everyone deserves a cool nickname! Alanis Morissette, sadly, didn't call in to this episode, but maybe next time?

A crazy coincidence, a chat about character creation, and some musings on minis with; Jason, Daniel, and the Pink Phantom!

Chaotic in the sense that I didn't know which call was coming next. I put this episode together without checking to see the order of the messages, and it lead to some pretty rad convergences! Big thanks to Taylor, Spencer, Mr. Henchman, Spike Pit, Jason, and Puck. That's right, folks! Puck is back and he's got a song in his heart!

 I also share some of my recent RPG thoughts that made me realize what a weirdo I am, even in a hobby rife with weirdos!

Time for me to reap the whirlwind. Have minis always been a part of the game? Is theater of the mind more OG than maps and minis? Do VTT's really do a better job at simulating the old school feel? In short, no, but let's find out why! Amazingly educational calls from Spencer, Karl, Jason, and Anthony! That's a rock solid line up if ever there was one!

In this episode, I'm talking about crows and B&B's with my awesome friends, Karl, Colin, and Spencer. Check it out

Here's the link Colin mentions in the show: https://www.birdsoutsidemywindow.org/2019/02/15/gifts-from-crows/!

That, my friends, is what you call a click bait title. Beside that, today we're talking crows, books, Bigfoot, nature, aliens, and state-sanctioned spying with calls from Barney, Jason, Spike Pit, B.J., and Goblin's Henchman. It'd be really cool if you checked out this episode!

We're covering a bunch of ground in this mish-mash of an episode. Calls from Goblin's Henchman, Jason, Free Thrall, Runeslinger, and Barney on a variety of various topics. Check it out!

Today we're talking about one of my favorite things; books! I recently went to a live reading of one of the world's greatest pieces of literature and I want to share that experience with you, my dear listeners. Then, Barney's back and he's talking Conan, and the ills of narratives. Lastly, we have three callers discussing the new Tolkien book, Fall of Numenor. Jason, Spike Pit, and Rob aka Menion answered my request for folks to share their thoughts about this new Middle Earth tome, and these three handsome devils did just that. This one is a real banger!

This episode kicks off with a session recap of the most recent session of Wrath of the Righteous, in which I do some self-analysis of my online DM'ing strengths and weaknesses. Then, we're talking ancient aliens and AI with Taylor, Jason, Pink Phantom, and the Fourth Dynasty pharaoh, Kufu! Yes, *that* Kufu!!! Now that's what I call a powerhouse lineup!

I've brought some of my good friends along with me to discuss our ancient past with the amazing Barney Dicker of Loco Ludus fame! Barney comes at this discussion from a different angle, and it re-frames the whole discussion. Simply brilliant!
