You've listened to us for almost a year now, but how well do you know us? And how well do we know each other? Can you ever truly know another person or are we forever alone in a cosmic sense, never really knowing our closest loved ones and confidants regardless of how much we try?

Sorry, that got a little...big.

Anyway! Richard and Nate take turns asking each other personal questions to see who knows the other one best and you can be the judge on who's the ultimate friend. Enjoy!

Hello friends! In honor of Veterans Day, we sat down with psychologist Dr. Megan Connell to discuss how to support the veterans at our table and how D&D can be used as a therapeutic tool. We've interviewed a ton of great folks on this podcast but Dr. Connell is truly one of a kind and we are so thankful she spent some time with us!

HARK! This week, Richard & Nate dusted off their Jenga tower and played Wickies, a two-player horror RPG about lighthouse keepers! Anyone who's seen the amazing movie will find our tale familiar but LEGALLY DISTINCT from that work. You hear that, Robert Eggers? We're untouchable.

Oh, and this is the first episode Richard and Nate ever recorded while in the same room! The energy was different and I think you'll enjoy it.

If you want to get a copy of this game for yourself, here's the link to Lari Assmuth's itch.io page: https://lari-assmuth.itch.io/wickies

Hello boils and ghouls! And...enboos? Like enbies but...spooky. Get it? Okay well I tried.

I know we put out a bunch of horror-related content, but that's just because we like to keep the spookiest season in our hearts all year round. This is a special Halloween episode that was a TON of fun to record and I hope will be just as fun to listen to. 

The Final Girl is one of my all-time favorite RPGs and I'm glad we found a way to make it work playing from a distance. Special thanks to @DonoghMC for suggesting using a Google Sheet to track characters and playingcards.io! It worked like a charm.

If you're looking to snag your own copy of The Final Girl, head on over to DriveThruRPG- https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/182628/The-Final-Girl. We've played this game four or five times now and it's never disappointed.

I am SOOO hesitant to publish this episode because the CTRL Group folks are guaranteed to charm you and steal you away from us and, frankly, our egos can't take that sort of hit. Hopefully there'll be enough room in your heart for both our podcasts! Also, sorry if there's any audio wonkiness. Zoom did its best Skynet impression and tried to kill our episode but we prevailed! Mostly!

Moving on! You can find more information about the CTRL Group Podcast on their website (https://ctrlgrouppod.com/episodes/) and can check out their games on https://mstrocks.itch.io/ and https://ctrlgroup.itch.io/. And you should! Special shout out to Power Couple - it's awesome.

Hopefully last week's Hearthside Chat whet your appetite for more fantastic Mr. Ray content because this week we're playing his wonderfully goofy super villain RPG, 3 "Baddies and a Baby"! We had an absolute blast and I hope after listening to our tomfoolery, you'll feel inspired to give this deserving indie designer a little love. Here's the link to this game and all of Mr. Ray's other creations: https://mr-ray.itch.io/

Two games! One episode! Zero GMs! This week, Nate, Richard, CJ, and Liam played two fantastic, ridiculously fun GM-less TTRPGs. 

In "The Guy Economy", our quest to put together a home theater results in death and destruction on a massive scale. 

Weirdly enough, our "Cheat Your Own Adventure" in The Crypts of Doom was benign in comparison! Plus we got to beat up a nazi skeleton, which is always cool.

If you want to get your own copies of these games, here are the links:
