This week we have a chat about the recent announcement of layoffs at Hasbro, and specifically WotC. It sort of ties into things we touched on in recent episodes, so we thought we'd have a talk about it.Link to the ENWorld article with names, etc. https://www.enworld.org/threads/updated-hasbro-laying-off-1-100-employees.701567/?fbclid=IwAR1wJ0hAA_XUWtMe6V0Mf6youeuojjh5gpDyaV-ZhVWXT8TynYc1ughlEH4

Welcome to our 150th Episode!!!
This week we're joined by a friend, and owner of one of our local game shops Alex. You've heard Alex with us before, talking about the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo (PGX) which he's also one of the organizers of. But this week he joins us to give some rather candid thoughts and opinions around the realities of running a gaming shop. This episode is a bit longer than usual, but we felt like it was time to give the view from yet another side of this hobby that we all love, so listen, and enjoy! And don't forget, support your local game shops!!! If you'd like to check out Alex's online shop, you can find it here!

Somewhat continuing from thoughts from last week's show, this week the Steves chat about character advancement, and the different ways some systems handle it. (There may or may not be some minor ranting.)

We've all heard the term "meta-gaming" used, and usually with bad connotations, but what is it? And is it always bad? This week we Steves ponder this very thing!

We intended to have a talk about house rules, and we did, sorta, at times. Our brains got the best of us, and we went off down some deep tangents, but if you listen to us at all, you know, that's probably what we do best!

Lead Rules Design on Gamma World 4e, Lead Writer for the 2e Ravenloft box set, plus worked on Fallout 3,4, & 76, a number of the Elder Scrolls games, including Lead Designer for Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
Usually I have some clever title or something, but this week, I think the above says enough! Any one of those credits are significant, but the whole list, plus more??!!??
We have a chat with game designer (now turned author) Bruce Nesmith about the twists and turns that a career in game design has brought him. From starting at TSR straight out of college, on through working at Bethesda Softworks, and now, to writing novels.
Bruce even shares the wild story of how he initially got recruited into the gaming industry!
Here's Bruce's current novel "Mischief Maker" on Amazon -- https://www.amazon.com/Mischief-Maker-Norse-Mythology-Reimagined/dp/195306213X/ref=sr_1_1

It occurred to us that we've never done an episode talking about combat in games! And we all know that's a HUGE part of what happens at many tables. So here's a conversation about some of our thoughts surrounding combat in RPGs, and maybe some ways to make it more interesting for everyone!

The old saying goes "A rolling stone gathers no moss." And that's as good a description on this conversation as I have!
From Steve unsettling himself writing an adventure, to cavemen rolling rocks down hills, to creative pressures, to taking a step back, this one meanders a little bit of everywhere!
