Hindsightless

I know, I know. Enough already, right? But there was a big announcement in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien and I want to talk about it and see what y'all think. That's not really much of a show, so I added some rad calls from Jason about Big Trouble in Little China and character growth, as well as a message from Goblin's Henchman where he recounts his super spooky nightmare.

I’m imagining the scene that the title describes and it’s making me very happy right now.. A murder of armor clad crows throwing a rad party? Yeah, that rules! 

Ok, but today we're talking more about ancient civilizations, and I mean a lot more. Taylor, of Clerics Wear Ring Mail, Joe of Raven God Games, Jason of Nerd's RPG Variety Cast, and B.J. of the Arcane Alienist podcast all have some seriously insightful, intelligent, thought-provoking responses to what I and the other callers have been talking about in my two previous episodes. This is a long one, for sure, but I think it's totally worth it. Smart people saying smart things and being interrupted by yours truly. What more could you ask for?

Rob, aka Menion, starts us off with  his thoughts on Conan, and the futility of trying to sum up humanity in a single story. That leads us perfectly into some very interesting discussions on human-kind's forgotten past, ancient Egypt, humanities ancestors, and much more. Karl, Joe, aka the Raven God, Jason, and Anthony, aka Runeslinger, each have super cool thoughts on those fascinating subjects, and I want to share their thoughts with you!

Karl and I are talking pyramids and basketball. 'Nuf said!

To sleep, perchance to dream. We're diving back into my psyche with the completion of my dream analysis by the fantastic Julz from NZ. You heard the first part of her break down of my dream a few episodes back, and Julz is here again to finish the job, but her's isn't the only possible interpretation out there. What dreams may come? Sit back and let Mr.Henchman weave you a tale of witches, beans, and new houses. It's going to blow your mind!  

BREAKING NEWS!!!!

Jason is alive and fired up about AI. His messages came in right as I was putting this episode together and there was no way I could wait on answering them. Strap in for this conversation because it's a doozy!

My deepest and most humble apologies to all of you, but especially to Jason, for misnumbering my last episode. This episode has the correct number and I will try to never let such an egregious mistake happen again. 

You like recaps? I got recaps. Truthfully, I only have one recap, but it's what I got! My most recent session running the epic Pathfinder 1e adventure path, Wrath of the Righteous, kicked ass and I want to talk about why. Sit back and enjoy a tale of cultists, sneaky wizards, and bad boss play. It's time for a new episode of Hindsightless!

Named after one of the greatest metal albums from the 80's of all time, this time-themed episode is an interesting one. Instead of the standard format, where callers are responding to things I said on my show, today I have callers responding to things I said on *their* show! How cool is that?!?! 

Oh, yeah, Persistence of Time actually came out in 1990, but let's be real, 1990 was really still very 80's. 

Podcasts I mention in this episode:

It's been a minute, but I'm back! I'm joined today by some fantastic folks that want to talk about dreams and fasting. I also report on the latest session of my Wrath of the Righteous campaign, and how strange it is that some people think Conan is a static, unchanging character.

Besides me, on this episode you'll hear from Jason, Karl, Runeslinger and Spike Pit. A truly fearsome foursome, if ever there was one. Check it out!

You want calls? I got calls. Calls from Jason, Joe, and Collin make this a very special episode! We'll be talking about home-brew games, stretching our gaming wings, Scooby Doo  D&D, fasting, and nightmares. A terrifying, horrific, soul-scarring, bone-chilling nightmare. Check it out... if you dare!

A lot of light and a little dark, but the dark is at the very end so it's easy to skip. I talk sports ball, new campaigns, and relearning the rules. There's a short political diatribe at the end , to which I'll give plenty of warning. Enjoy!
