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

168: "Rules Light" Hot Take
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!

167: GamerNationCon 9 Recap w/ JT & Alex
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
One Steve is freshly back (and still tired from) GNC9, the other is still sad he couldn't make it, and so we invited 2 other folks from the GamerNation to join us for a recap of the festivities! And first off, apologies to those who didn't get mentioned, but if you were there, there's just so much fun going on that as you remember stuff other things slip through the gamer-brain! But we hope you enjoy our somewhat brief recap of the fun and enjoyment that is GamerNationCon, and frankly, we hope to see any of you who were there again next year, and any who weren't there, we also hope to see you next year!
