Calls from Jason (Nerd's RPG Variety Cast), Che Webster (Roleplay Rescue), and Rob C. (Down in a Heap).  They help me as we dive a bit more into how much can you add to a RPG before you should go find the one that has everything you are adding.  We also take a quick look at subtracting from a RPG and thoughts on it.  Thanks to these three for helping the discussion along.  Anyone else have some thoughts?

I respond to calls from FreeThrall and the Other Jason.  What did they have to say?  What do I say in response?  Wondering if anyone actually reads liner notes anymore....

I do an average job of going through an already built class to see if it lines up with the XP requirements that one should expect in a BX game with the listed abilities of the class.  Then I get to rambling on more about the classes in Pacesetter's BX Remastered book as it related to the Class Builder book.  Maybe I need help to just let go of how I feel about that product.....

I received my physical copy of the BX Options: Class Builder book by The Welsh Piper and decided to do a bit of a review for you.  Wherein you can hear me speak a bit about the physical specs of the book, look over the contents, and give my opinion about it.

Music - "Rebirthing" by Skillet

Wherein I muse a bit about skills and why are they even in our RPGs.  I further muse on what type of player and GM need/want skills in their game.  Not the most coherent musing but you get what you pay for, right?

Wherein I do a review of a recent Kickstarter that is fulfilling, Third Kingdom Games' (Todd Leback) Filling in the Blanks - A Guide to Populating Hexcrawls.  I give you the specs on the product, go over the content and give you the good and the bad (which there really isn't any but me being picky).  What did I think about it overall?  Give it a listen.

Reading the Hobbit to the Minions, I came across a passage that has me feeling that many people playing RPGs are making the demi-humans more heroic than they were intended.  Should a GM be a bit more strict in how these dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, and other demi-humans are played?  There it is.  Discuss.

Wherein I get Minion Bravo to assist with a physical test of distance over time.  I raise an issue with movement and time in D&D and we do an experiment to help us both see if the rules hold up or trip before they get to the finish line.  Afterwards, some discussion about the results and how they can relate to our games.  And yes, I did have to edit out one of the Minion's name in the recording.

Wherein I talk a little bit more about blockers, some of which are stopping my gaming.  I also have calls from Other Jason, Che Webster and Goblin's Henchman.
