May 20, 2019 PTG157 – And Also Grab Bag
One more grab bag episode for May as we cover for Phil’s trip to Boston! In this episode, we answer questions about sharing the spotlight and taking the hook. Please note, I’ve marked this episode as explicit for more risqué than usual outtakes…I usually reserve that level of innuendo for the bonus outtakes! Also, more panties. That’s probably a thing. If you’re following us on social media, tell us if you would wear the Freytag’s Pyramid Rising Big Bad Action shirt!
On that note, there are no bonus outtakes today. Sorry folks! Back to normal soon.

May 13, 2019 PTG156 – May The Grab Be Bag You
Show us how you do a grab bag for May when travel interferes with your recording schedule! On today’s episode, we answer two questions: How to have satisfying session arcs in episodic campaigns, and which Ditch Lilies songs should have been in Captain Marvel (SPOILERISH).
This was a short show so there are no bonus outtakes today! We’ll be back with bonus episodes when we are done with this grab bag (and the next one). Marked explicit for a few more uncut cuss words than usual, as well as panty outtakes (that might have under normal circumstances landed in the bonus outtakes).

May 06, 2019 PTG155 – Switching: Empathy and Perspective on GMing and Playing
Show us how playing can make you a better GM and GMing can make you a better player! Phil and Senda talk about how being in each position at the table and how it can inform your play when you are in the other seat. Also, my Peak Design bag came! Senda’s lack of Friday voice, drunk pandas, and ENnies submissions.
