THIS EPISODE WILL BLOW YOUR SOCKS OFF!

In this episode I chat with Carl D. A man of mystery who states that “he’s on a mission to become the world’s most consistently OK Game Master”. What does that mean ? Listen and find out!

The fact of the matter is that Carl D. is a good friend and Dungeon Plunger Discord moderator. Over the past year and a half we have gamed online together with another bunch of great people. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to experience a wide variety of games that I never would have played if not for Carl taking up the reins to prep and run these games for us.

In this episode we talk about how he got into RPGs, our mutual love of Star Wars, the OSR, his blog Transorbital Game Pit, Total Party Kills, running play-by-post games and his love for Free League Publishing! That’s a lot of quality content. Listen to it, live it and you too can be like Carl D.

Oh and Carl’s dad was originally from Canada, so that makes Carl like a half Canadian or something!

This week I have a chat with YouTube sensation, author and co-host of the Modern Mythos Podcast Seth Skorkowsky!

We talked about a LOT in this 2-hour interview. Starting off we discuss skill based rpg systems, what they are, and tricks and tips on how to run them. We talk a bit about the OSR, the history of RPGs, and why Dungeons & Dragons overshadows other games, especially science fiction. We talk about Seth’s career as an author, defining what genre means in fiction and we take some questions from fans of Seth!

All in all it was a jam packed nerd down you don't want to miss out on!

In this episode I have a fantastic chat with Bridgett Jeffries, Chaosium's Community Manager, co-host of the Miskatonic University Podcast, founder of Symphony Entertainment and all around an outspoken and vivacious spirit in the RPG community.

We talked about how her love of gabbing and a trip to detention in high school would change her life forever. We also chat about her love of horror games, her involvement in a variety of actual play podcasts, her involvement in a Vampire the Masquerade LARP and how she overcame the challenges of being a champion of Call of Cthulhu, especially as a person of colour and the bigotry of H.P. Lovecraft.

Of course we talked about a lot more, so dive in and listen to the whole thing! Your ears and soul will thank you. Plungers Up!

This week I chatted with Robert J Schwalb! We talk about his start in the game industry, his time working with Mongoose, Green Ronin and Wizards of the Coast. His experiences working on three editions of D&D (3e, 4e and 5e), Warhammer Fantasy and the Game of Thrones rpgs would ultimately lead to him starting his own company and creating the Demon Lord Engine that powers Shadow of the Demon Lord, Punkapocalyptic and Shadow of the Weird Wizard. We also talk about his love of Greyhawk, comics, books and even POOP! Yes, only on the Dungeon Plunger Podcast can you find someone willing to talk to arguably one of the greatest rpg table top designers of all time about poop! Plungers UP!
