I had put this up on my youtube channel, but people wanted it also on my audio podcast for easy travel listening. So here you go! Did a little video talking about my time during the '80s when I first started really playing RPGs and one of my "friends" caught me playing and how I reacted to that. I know people of today don't really have this challenge like we did back in the '80s and I'm very happy no one has to go through that again.

Talking about a topic that annoys the crap out of me, GMless RPGs and how they make zero sense to me and I am not sure why all these people are pushing games with no GMs. There needs to be someone who is the referee or the judge of a game to make sure people stay in line, follow the rules and someone needs to control the NPCs and monsters. Otherwise its a narrative storytelling game, so pass around the stick and have at it. https://TheEvilDM.com Tweet me - @TheEvilDM --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theevildm/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theevildm/support
