Yeah, I know there's still a day left in the month, but tomorrow is going to be busy as heck, so I figured I'd do the roundup post now. Well, not a complete roundup, but at least a highlight of the more popular episodes.
E170 - Episode #1 of the TavernSpike Podcast - Join "SpikePit" and Myself on a Podcast Crossover
Published on Nov 2, 2018
It has finally happened. There has been a melding of worlds. A mashing of podcasts. Yep, this is the first in a series of "podcast crossovers". Today, I hang with Colin "SpikePit" Green. We touch on many topics related to gaming, geekdom and beyond. Enjoy the podcast that spans both sides of the "pond" ;)
E173 - But we Decide which is Right and which is an Illusion - I talk briefly about Game Balance
Published on Nov 5, 2018
Love me some Moody Blues. I talk a bit about game balance and why I think the true balance belongs not in the rules but in the adventures.
E177 - GameHole Day Two with Bad Mike, Ben Barsh, Zach Glazer and Rach
Published on Nov 9, 2018
I hang out and discuss Gamehole and related stuff with Bad Mike, Ben Barsh, Zach Glazer and my wife Rach. Ambient noise supplied by Dwarven Forge ;)
E184 - Mundane Magic - Spells and Items - Why is This Overlooked in Most Fantasy RPGs?
Published on Nov 16, 2018
I got it into my head today to think about mundane magic. I understand why RPG rulebooks focus on the magic aimed for adventuring, but in societies where magic replaces technologoy, wouldnt there be more mundane uses?
E185 - Does the Graphic Define the OSR or Does the OSR Define the Graphic? Does the Graphic Matter?
Published on Nov 17, 2018
Voicemails on Mundane Magic kick us off. It really seems to have an audience. Then we address Stuart R's OSR Logo / Graphic and whether it was ever really needed. I think a TARGA follow up episode will be needed.
E186 - TARGA - Its History, Its Death and an Inside View - Are We Doomed to Repeat?
Published on Nov 18, 2018
I apologize in advance for the extra-long episode. As I was putting the pieces of the episode together, I discovered a post on our very own TenkarsTavern.com from 2014 that shed further light on the battle for the soul of TARGA, from the one that fought said battle. Additional material is at the end of the episode. It was too relevant to not include. I touch upon the current OSR logo drama too.
E192 - News - There is Now a Gygax Game site - But They Don't Mention FIG (Alex does have a sidegig)
Published on Nov 24, 2018
Voicemails and then a peek at the brand new Gygax Games website. What it doesn't say speaks volumes...
E196 - Do you Use Spells with No Save Against your Player Characters?
Published on Nov 28, 2018
JoeTheLawyer calls in with an interesting observation regarding spells with no saves (Cloudkill, Powerword Kill, Sleep, etc). I respond with thoughts of my own.
