176: PGX 2024 w/ Wizz
Tuesday Aug 27, 2024
Tuesday Aug 27, 2024
It's that time of year again! The 2024 edition of the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo (PGX) is happening October 4-6 at the Monroeville Convention Center in Monroeville PA!
We're joined by Wizz, one of the organizers to chat about the show, and what was a particularly challenging behind-the-scenes to make this year's show happen.
We can tell you from personal experience that this show is a helluva lot of fun, and a great time!
At least one of us will be there (quite possibly both) and we'd love to meet, chat, and play games!

Oblivion War: Session 4
Thursday Jul 04, 2024
Thursday Jul 04, 2024
We return after our short midsummer break with another episode of Oblivion War!
This time, the crew of the Comet's Tail find themselves actually in the bar they sat out for, and contacting the Signals & Flares Division! But all does not go as planned!
The Cast:
Ben -- GM (and wrangler of cats)
Eric -- Prangalar (catfolk scout)
Hagan -- Groth (orcish primalist)
Terry C -- Barnelby (gnome bard)
Steve (New) -- Kulweg (gnome alchemist)
Steve (Old) -- Karlax (crystal-based bioroid tech)
The setting is one of Ben's creation, and we'll let you discover it through the course of our story. Of course, feel free to ask questions in the Discord, as we can all be found there. And in about 2 weeks, the next installment should arrive!
We greatly appreciate the donations of our Patreon supporters: Eric Witman, Jeff McKinney, Joshua Gopal-Boyd, Dave Smith, Brett Bowen, Streety, and Nate Doverspike! Y'all make keeping this going possible!

171: The Circadian Anomaly w/ GM Dave
Tuesday Jun 11, 2024
Tuesday Jun 11, 2024
This week we're actually talking about a novel, not a gaming book, but it's one written by none other than one of the founders of the d20 Network, "GM Dave" Villegas! Dave has written a novel called "The Circadian Anomaly" and is currently in the midst of a Kickstarter to help get it published in both print, and audio-book form.
The book has deep rpg roots, being based off a project of Jay Little's, and also draws inspiration from the d20 Network community. It's a bit "thriller", a little "sci-fi", and honestly sounds pretty dang cool to us!
Find it on Kickstarter! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bigyoda/the-circadian-anomaly?ref=android_project_share

Tuesday Apr 30, 2024
Tuesday Apr 30, 2024
So, I kinda hate the click-bait use of the term "hot take", but none the less, here we are! I put forth a statement regarding what I think of "Rules Light", and how it fits in this hobby we all love. Of course, this is Me and Steve, so tangents are followed, but I think we have a pretty thought-provoking discussion! I hope y'all enjoy it!
