We upgraded Foundry, discovered a few surprise “features,” and then dove headfirst into the hope-and-fear-fueled mayhem of Daggerheart—join us for mechanics, emotions, and at least one character death that felt really personal. This episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast is sponsored by DungeonFlow.app, your one-stop shop for streamlining game prep and powering up your sessions. Whether you're navigating Daggerheart's emotional economy or just trying to remember what room had the spiky floor trap, DungeonFlow has your back. With encounter builders, random traps, and mood-setting room descriptions, it's like having a co-GM who doesn't argue about initiative order. Sign up now at DungeonFlow.app and take your table from chaos to controlled chaos. In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew kicks things off with a heroic tale of bravery: upgrading Foundry to version 13. With great power comes great mod compatibility checks—but hey, the new features are worth the hiccups! Once the tech dust settles, the gang dives into Daggerheart, the shiny new TTRPG from the folks at Darrington Press. From hit points and stress to hope, fear, and “please don't let me die here,” the team explores Daggerheart's unique approach to narrative and mechanics. They debate the crunchy bits, the soft edges, and the places where player creativity takes center stage. Along the way, they find just enough time to question the currency system, roast the movement rules (with love), and embrace the initiative mechanic that requires actual trust. Scary stuff. Key Takeaways: Foundry v13 brings new power to your table—but double-check those mods before you click "update." Daggerheart's mechanics are fueled by hope and fear, which is either brilliant or a therapy session waiting to happen. The resting system adds strategic depth without slowing the narrative. Resource management includes stress and HP, because feelings matter. Tiered play defines your character's journey, from barely surviving to epic storytelling. Armor rules with damage thresholds add depth—but not so much math you'll need a spreadsheet. Equipment tiers create clear gear progression, and swords still go “stab.” The initiative system promotes teamwork by letting players choose who goes next. Trust issues? Might wanna talk about that. The death system gives players dramatic, meaningful choices—finally, death with flair. The system is setting-agnostic, perfect for fantasy, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic baking contests, or whatever you're into. Movement mechanics could use polish, but if you've ever argued over diagonals in D&D, you'll feel right at home. Tune in for mechanics, drama, heartfelt dice rolls—and yes, a very suspicious shrub.

Episode 71 - Murdock and Marvel: 2006 Part 2 Last week in the takeaway we talked about how 2005 had elements that pointed to a new golden age for comics, and there were elements that pointed to dangerous days ahead. Well, if 2006 is any indication, Golden Age it is... This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2006. The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #79-90, Daredevil vs Punisher #6, Daredevil: Father #5, Fantastic Four: The Wedding Special #1, Spider-Man Unlimited #12, Black Widow 2 #4-6, Playmates Toys #1, Spider-Man /Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do #4-6, Marvel Zombies #2-3, Pulse #13, Thing #3 X-Statix Presents: Dead Girl #1, I Heart Marvel: Marvel Ai #1, Marvel Team-Up #17 and 20, New Mangaverse #2, Amazing Spider-Man #530 and 534, Thunderbolts #100/105/107, Doc Samson #4, Wolverine #42, Exiles #83, Cable & Deadpool #31, Fantastic Four #539, New Avengers #22 and 24, Marvel Select Flip Magazine #16-17, Civil War #1-6, Civil War: Choosing Sides #1, Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways #1, Civil War: Frontline #10 Writing: Brian Michael Bendis (#79-81), Ed Brubaker (#82-90) Pencils: Alex Maleev (#79-81), Michael Lark (#82-87 and #89-90), David Aja (#88) Inks: Alex Maleev (#79-81), Michael Lark (#82), Stefano Gaudiano (#83-87 and #89-90), David Aja (#88) The year begins with the final three issues of The Murdock Papers from Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev. In April, We get a new creative team and a new story arch with three parts centered around Matt Murdock in prison. The first is entitled The Devil in Cell-Block D and in it, Brubaker and Lark do the unthinkable – while visiting Matt in prison, Foggy and their assistant Dakota are assaulted – with Foggy being stabbed while Murdock is unable to help while bring locked up in solitary confinement. The story ends with Matt Murdock frantically screaming, "His heart is still beating," over and over. As the story continues, we see a funeral for Foggy (which Murdock is able to attend) and we see someone is running around the city in the Daredevil costume on – which does seem to help Murdock's case for not being our horned hero. In August, we see Fisk and Murdock working together to survive a prison riot and after Murdock escapes from prison with the help of the recently incarcerated Punisher. In the finale of The Devil in Cell Block D, Murdock hunts down the other Daredevil – who turns out to be Iron Fist – who was trying to help keep Murdock's secret identity hidden. Matt decides to leave the country for Monaco to find the man responsible for having Foggy killed. But Foggy is alive and well and hiding under the witness protection program. The warden believes Matt was truly a helpless victim of Punishers and goes public with this on TV. Next we catch up with the recently revealed to be alive Foggy Nelson in a single-issue story called “The Secret Life of Foggy Nelson. In it we see him try to reach out to Ben Urich and others but he is stopped by the FBI who are “protecting” him. Finally, to finish off the 2006 – which bleeds into 2007 – we travel to Europe (specifically Monaco to start with) for Murdock's hunt for a lawyer, Alton Lennox, who helped “kill” Foggy Nelson entitled The Devil Takes a Ride. In it, he teams up with a mob bosses daughter who turns out to double cross him. He confronts her (and Tombstone) in Paris and tells her he's not so easily fooled. Daredevil finally finds out who has been behind everything and it turns out to be the wife of his most hated enemy, Vanessa Fisk. When Murdock confronts her in Zurich, we learn she is dying and he manipulated Murdock to get him to help free Wilson Fisk as her dying wish. Murdock initially refuses, but she knows he'll eventually agree and sets her plan in motion – killing Leland Drummond, the FBI director going after Murodck. The Devil takes a Ride concludes with Matt finding out Foggy is still alive and also helping release the Kingpin from prison to honor Vanessa's memory. Though he has the Kingpin agree to have his U.S. Citizenship revoked and that Fisk will have to leave the country. Foggy agrees with Matt's idea to move their law firm to a new location as well as changing their business method of accepting clients from referrals only to avoid drawing attention from DD's enemies. It was also decided that Becky Blake will join their firm as a law partner (Nelson, Blake, and Murdock). Matt also moves him and Milla to a new apartment as well since too many of his enemies already knew the address of his previous apartment.

What if your depression had hit points and could punch back? Welcome to the Shadowfell. Huge thanks to DungeonFlow.app for sponsoring this episode—because even in the Shadowfell, your dungeon prep shouldn't be a nightmare. Sign up today at DungeonFlow.app and start building better encounters, faster. It's free to try, easy to use, and unlike the Shadowfell... it won't drain your soul. In this laughably bleak episode, the RPGBOT crew takes a torch (dimly lit, flickering with existential dread) and dives headfirst into the Shadowfell—D&D's very own Plane of Gloom, where your hopes go to die and the sun never texts you back. The hosts unpack the lore, the gloomcore aesthetics, and the mechanics of navigating this dreary dimension. From emo elf-goths to soul-sucking murder ghosts, they explore the Shadowfell's rich tapestry of despair with their trademark mix of irreverent humor and actual, useful advice. They cover Shadowfell travel tips (spoiler: don't forget your psychic damage buffer), notable creatures like Nightwalkers and Sorrow Sworn, and character options like the Shadar-Kai, for when you want your rogue to have a nose ring and chronic emotional detachment. Also: haunted vacation spots, deific edgelords, and a call for better horror monsters in D&D. Because the real horror is boring stat blocks. Book of Ebon Tides, Kobold Press (affiliate link) Dungeon Master's Guide (affiliate link) Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes (affiliate link) Forgotten Realms Wiki - Shadowfell Pathfinder Wiki Archives of Nethys Key Takeaways The Shadowfell is the emo cousin of the Feywild – Think sad trees, gray skies, and your bard journaling about “the void.” Stranger Things is Shadowfell-adjacent – The Upside Down is basically what happens when Vecna fails upward. How to get there – Use Shadow Crossings, dark rituals, or emotionally devastating breakups. Character options abound – Play a Shadar-Kai for teleporting angst or a Fetchling for stylish gloom-chic. Sorrow Sworn are weaponized sadness – They literally punch you with feelings. Therapy not included. Nightwalkers? Nope. – These CR nightmares are like walking voids of death, and not in a metaphorical way. Dark Powers are... mysterious? – Like your crush from high school who only wore black and spoke in riddles. Char, Queen of Shadow – She's hot, terrifying, and probably has a playlist full of Evanescence. Shadowfell Tourism – Visit Evernight! Stay at the Tower of Loss! Bring your own light source and will to live. D&D needs better horror monsters – Less "zombie #87", more “this thing screams in your brain and smells like your mom's regret.” Understanding the Shadowfell makes games richer – Misery loves roleplay.

In this encore episode, we highlight vitamin D₃ in gastrointestinal health, with a focus on intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis. We discuss how vitamin D is metabolized into its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and how 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D can support the intestinal mucosa, while highlighting the intestinal epithelium and immune cells in the lamina propria. Through this, we further detail the role of regulatory T cells in supporting immune balance and modulating immune function.Topics:1. Introduction - Highlighting intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis with a focus on vitamin D₃ 2. Vitamin D Synthesis and Metabolism - Skin and 7-dehydrocholesterol; dietary intake.- Transported through the bloodstream bound to vitamin D binding protein.- First hydroxylation in the liver to form 25-hydroxyvitamin D₃ (25(OH)D₃).- Testing.- Second hydroxylation in the kidney to form the active 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D₃ (1,25(OH)₂D₃).- Local activation also occurs. 3. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy - The intestinal epithelium forms a selectively permeable monolayer that interfaces with the gut lumen.- Covered by a mucus layer: mucins, antimicrobial peptides, secretory IgA.- Mucus layer provides physical and biochemical protection.- Tight junction proteins and paracellular permeability.- Molecules crossing the epithelium. - Disruption of tight junctions, immune cell exposure to luminal contents.- The lamina propria and Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT). - Maintaining tolerance while defending against pathogens. 4. Vitamin D's Role in Barrier Support and Immune Modulation - 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃, tight junction integrity, immune regulation, and more.- Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) and immune balance. 5. Vitamin D₂ and D₃- D₃ (cholecalciferol) is more biologically effective and binds DBP more strongly. 6. Vitamin D Levels - Levels observed in autoimmune conditions, IBS, and more.- Symptoms.- Insufficient and excessive levels of vitamin D can be detrimental.- Multi-system. 7. Conclusion - Multifactorial: Numerous factors regulate vitamin D levels.- Gastrointestinal health root cause approach.Thanks for tuning in!Get Chloe's Book Today!

Episode 69 - Murdock and Marvel: 2005 Part 2 It was a great year in comics, and maybe a turning point. Movies, events and accolades abounded. But somehow it all worries me a bit, in retrospect. This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2005. The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #67-78, Daredevil: Redemption #1-6, Daredevil: Father #1-4, Exiles #54, 56 and 62, Marvel Age Spider-Man #15, New Avengers #1-3 and 11, Powerless #6, Ultimate Elektra #4-5, Bullseye: Greatest Hits #4, Marvel Knight 4 #13, What if…Karen Page Had Lived? #1, Wolverine #23-24, Marvel Knights Spider-Man #11, Ultimates 2 #3, Hercules #1, Marvel Nemesis: The Imperfects #2-6, Marvel Team-Up #9-10, Daredevil vs Punisher #1-5, House of M #5-7, Ultimate Fantastic Four #22, Black Widow 2 #1-2, Defenders #4, Secret War #5, Weapon X: Days of Future Now #4 along with the Elektra: On the Rise, New Avengers: Pot of Gold, Ultimate Spider-Man and Marvel Visionaries: Stan Lee graphic novels Writing: Brian Michael Bendis (#67-78) Pencils: Alex Maleev (#67-78) Inks: Alex Maleev (#67-78) The year begins with the continuation of the Golden Age storyline that starts in December. In it, we learn immediately about Alexander Bont (the Kingpin before Wilson Fisk). He was released from prison and plans to get revenge on Daredevil and Matt Murdock for helping him go to prison. Across the 5 issues, we see just how powerful Bont was and how Daredevil got him arrested as well as how Murdock made sure he went to prison for most of his life. Bont enlists the reformed Gladiator to kidnap and beat Murdock before attempting to reveal his now widely known secret on the streets of Hell's Kitchen. Meanwhile, Agent Del Toro of the FBI approaches Matt Murdock asking for help understanding why he and others are superheroes and how to come to terms with her inheriting the White Tiger Amulet from her now deceased uncle Hector Ayala. Murdock as Daredevil does help, helping her to learn to use the Amulet and her new powers – which comes in handy as Del Toro is the one who comes to Murdock's rescue from Gladiator and Bont. After that, we get one of my favorite Bendis stories to date – Decalogue. In it, we see a support group, the Devil Among Us, trying to come to grips of their re-ins with our horned hero. Things start with a junkie telling how she started going straight after seeing her boyfriend and his enlisted help Bullet get taken down when they had designs for taking over for Kingpin after Daredevil's proclamation, he was the new Kingpin. We get a story from another group member about failing to honor his father's wish from prison to have Foggy Nelson killed. From there, the stories and the group take a turn. The DD support group continues and the wife of a super-powered serial killer tells how DD tracked down her husband but refused to let him fall to his death; The killer's last intended victim whom DD saved turns out to be a member of the group and doesn't take kindly to the story of a troubled man plagued by demons. The DD support group continues with the tale of one of Milla Donovan's friends who went to her wedding with Matt Murdock and whose daughter later killed herself after surviving a bank robbery by the Jester. A goading and mysterious member of the group pipes up and promises there are deep dark secrets in all these tales and points out that Matt Murdock is there in the group with them; And he is. The story ends with Murdock confronting the Demon that had possessed the Jester (and is currently inhabiting the mysterious member of the group) and interfered with so many lives after which he tries to explain to the group why he does the things he does; For the first time, Matt Murdock publicly admits to outsiders that he is DD. After that, we get one last story from Brian Michael Bendis that spills over into 2006 – The Murdock papers. In it, we see the Kingpin attempt to use the knowledge of Murdock's secret identity to leverage a pardon for all his crimes from the FBI all with Ben Urich unwilling assistance. Claiming he has physical evidence proving Murdock is Daredevil, he gets Urich to write a story saying Kingpin is willing to tell all – forcing the FBI to decide to pursue a case against Murdock rather than their very weak case against Fisk. At the same time, Milla Donovan has a change of heart and wants to be with Murdock again – which he happily wants as well. This leads to Elektra and Black Widow (along with the recently fired Agent Del Toro) trying to help Daredevil get the papers before the FBI does from Fisk's lawyer's office. There's a big confrontation that includes Bullseye and in which Daredevil gets shot and is briefly presumed dead. Fisk reveals that the papers were a lie and meant to flush Daredevil out so the FBI could arrest him. The conclusion of this epic storyline (and the Bendis run on Daredevil) will be our spotlight for this year… This Week's Spotlight: #80 February 2006 “The Murdock Papers Part 5” and Daredevil #81 March 2006 “The Murdock Papers Part 6” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway The beginning of an Golden Age?

If you've ever wanted to party in a magical forest where the trees are judging you and the weather is trying to kill you, this is your episode. A massive thank you to Dungeon Master Adamantine for sponsoring this episode! Whether you want to explore mythic Athens in person or dive into the underdark from your living room, Nick Fotopoulos—aka DM Adamantine—runs unforgettable sessions across systems including D&D, Call of Cthulhu, and Vampire: The Masquerade. Book a game with him at his website or at StartPlaying. Episode Summary: In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew ascends to the upper planes—specifically Arborea, the chaotic good realm of unfiltered passion, overflowing food, and wildly unpredictable weather. The discussion kicks off with character dynamics in tabletop RPGs, including the joys of playing support roles (bards get a lot of love), and meanders gloriously into an exploration of Arborea's distinct layers and their mythic, emotional, and environmental weight. From the fertile lands of Arvandor to the infinite-but-three-feet-deep ocean of Aqualore, and the ruin-scattered, chalk-dusted dunes of Mithardir, the hosts explore what it means to live—or afterlive—in Arborea. They compare the plane to California, invoke the chaotic energy of a 24/7 frat party to describe Sylvania, and debate whether your party name really matters. Along the way, you'll encounter sentient forests, eldritch food carts, mysterious spiriters, and a lot of strong opinions about weather patterns and campaign storytelling.

Arborea's Alignment: As a Chaotic Good plane, Arborea thrives on passion, impulse, and idealism—but it's not without danger. Oaths Matter: Making promises in Arborea might have magical or moral weight. Break them at your peril. Arvandor = Abundance: This lush and fertile layer feels like a divine Whole Foods. It's the breadbasket of the Outer Planes. Weather Gone Wild: You may experience thunderstorms, lightning, or perpetual sunlight—all in a matter of minutes. Ecology and Afterlife: Arborea is home to Eladrin, elven petitioners, and protective nature spirits. It might be your final resting place... or party destination. Aqualore: Vast ocean, but only three feet deep. Still wet, still weird. Sea elves abound, but not much else. Mithardir: A lifeless chalk desert haunted by ruins of fallen gods and vicious storms. Adventure hooks lie buried under sand. Nautilus: A floating trade hub where adventurers can find deep-sea gear—and probably a weird side quest. Sylvania: A kaleidoscopic chaos realm where every moment is a party and nothing makes sense. It's Animal House with cosmic consequences. Party Names: Whether you're “Team Fireball” or “The Drunken Disciples of Kord,” a good name makes recaps easier and sets the campaign tone.

Most of the dorks are back! This week we're talking about world events that happen every four years...for some reason? Then Chewie talks about taking two teenagers, one of whom had not ridden a roller coaster, to Carowinds to ride roller coasters! After all of that of course we have to talk about the Final Fantasy Prerelease because ALL OF US WENT! Dirk & Mike talk about their decks, while Chewie takes over talking about how Brian & Sam did. Great fun was had by all. From there, Chewie goes into why he's less interested in Magic these days, but how thinking critically about it for all those years has stirred a deep interest in how elements of game design come together in all the games he plays. Then we devolve into the usual nonsense, like GYATT and D&D and Skyrim and how there weren't any good Jasons back in the day. Come join us in the future!

This week I'm joined by games industry legend Stan! to talk about his time working on D&D and Pokemon, and what Wizards was like when Hasbro bought them! Stan! and I have been friends for decades now, back when he was a Dragonlance designer and I was just a fanboy, and I consider him to be one of my mentors and inspirations. He also does an amazing podcast covering the history of D&D with the folks who were there that is worth your time.

Need a professional GM to help you respec your party's chaos into a compelling narrative? Book a session with the one and only Dungeon Master Adamantine! Whether you're in Athens, Greece, connecting online, or just looking to combine your vacation with a dragon-slaying adventure, DM Adamantine is your go-to Game Master for high-quality TTRPG sessions in D&D, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire: The Masquerade, and more. Find your next unforgettable adventure at www.dungeonmasteradamantine.com or book sessions at StartPlaying.games/gm/dmadamantine. In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts embrace change—literally—as they dive deep into the concept of retraining mechanics in tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons 5E and Pathfinder 2E. But before the character sheet gets erased, they kick things off with a nerdy detour into Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition, share opinions on the Resident Evil franchise, and wax nostalgic about the golden age of gaming. Then the core conversation begins: What do you do when the feat you picked at Level 3 turns out to be hot garbage? Or when your barbarian realizes Intelligence isn't just a dump stat—it's a lifestyle choice? That's where retraining comes in. The hosts discuss why retraining is essential for both new and experienced players, the narrative and mechanical implications of character do-overs, and how GMs can avoid turning the process into a bureaucratic nightmare. They compare systems, critique design philosophies, and remind everyone that flexibility is key to fun. If you've ever regretted your build, re-specced mid-campaign, or wanted to take a mulligan on your bard's flute proficiency, this episode is for you. PF2 Retraining on Archives of Nethys Neverwinter Nights 2 (Affiliate Link) Strongholds and Followers Dimension20 NaddPod Slither Film Cornetto Trilogy Bojack Horseman Tedd Lasso Key Takeaways Retraining is essential for helping players adapt to new strategies, party dynamics, or just plain regret. Pathfinder 2E offers clear, structured retraining rules that make it easy to respec without breaking immersion. D&D 5E, by contrast, provides limited retraining options, often requiring house rules to fill in the gaps. Retraining is especially useful for new players who don't yet grasp the long-term consequences of build choices. Costs for retraining—whether time, gold, or in-world narrative—should be clear but not punitive. The “burden of knowledge” can be overwhelming; good retraining systems ease that pressure. Character development should be fluid, allowing for organic growth and change over time. Retraining can include skills, feats, class features, and even languages, though learning Infernal overnight might stretch believability. Tone shifting—from serious to humorous or vice versa—is an important skill for both players and GMs. Humor should act as a pressure release, not a tonal whiplash. Matching your group's emotional energy and narrative expectations is vital for a good game session. Every table should discuss retraining rules upfront, so expectations are clear and rerolls don't become courtroom dramas. Even Call of Cthulhu has unique retraining mechanics that focus on realism and narrative trauma—proof that every game handles it differently. Retraining mechanics support player agency, increase campaign longevity, and ultimately make the game more fun.

Want to know how one spark can ruin a dungeon, a campaign, and your DM's will to live? Light up this episode and find out. Need a game that burns brighter than your last TPK? Book a session with DM Adamantine at dungeonmasteradamantine.com or find him on StartPlaying: startplaying.games/gm/dmadamantine. In this scorching episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the team throws gasoline on the topic of fire in tabletop RPGs—then promptly fails their Reflex save. What starts as a conversation about lighting a torch quickly turns into a flaming whirlwind of rules, tactics, and creative chaos. The hosts explore the many layers of how fire is used in games—from setting ambiance with a cozy campfire to leveling an entire goblin village with an ill-advised Fireball. They break down how different systems handle fire damage, ongoing effects, and the often-overlooked consequences like smoke inhalation, visibility loss, and your ranger's hair catching fire. They debate the difference between magical and mundane fire, argue about whether a flaming sword cooks enemies or just looks cool, and discuss how to weaponize your environment (spoiler: the answer is always "start a fire"). You'll also get a peek into the chaotic neutral minds of players who think "we burn it down" is a viable solution to every social encounter. And yes, someone definitely asks, "How flammable is a gelatinous cube?" Whether you're a DM trying to keep your players from razing your lovingly crafted tavern or a player wondering how many flasks of oil you can strap to a badger before initiative rolls—this episode brings the heat. Key Takeaways: Fire is more than just damage: Light, visibility, intimidation, and panic can all stem from a single spark. Environmental fire is your friend… or a really vengeful enemy: Setting things on fire can alter the battlefield dramatically—but so can smoke choking everyone out. Fire effects stack: Heat, flames, smoke, and structural damage all interact in messy, crunchy ways. Don't forget to track them—or just wing it and blame it on the wizard. System-specific differences matter: Pathfinder and D&D treat fire differently—especially when it comes to ongoing damage, saving throws, and magical fire resistance. Magical fire bends the rules: Flaming Sphere follows you. Wall of Fire ruins friendships. Hellish Rebuke makes everyone suspicious of your warlock. Realistic consequences are hilarious and horrifying: Fires attract attention, collapse buildings, and create very bad PR for adventuring parties. Players will always find creative fire-based chaos: Including but not limited to: oil barrel trebuchets, flaming goats, and the "Molotov Kobold Cocktail." As always, communication with your DM is key: Especially before you torch the local orphanage because it "looked suspicious."

Drawing from his own experience in the profession and his exposure to its philosophical roots, Jerry explores how religious-like language and behavior have persisted in chiropractic for over a century—and whether this helps or harms the profession. This episode doesn't aim to provide all the answers. Instead, it encourages thoughtful reflection on how chiropractic is defined, communicated, and perceived—especially by the public. Topics Covered 1. Two Extremes in Chiropractic Philosophy On one end: Evidence-only chiropractors who view chiropractic purely as musculoskeletal care On the other end: Chiropractors who speak in mystical or spiritual terms, treating chiropractic as a life-transforming philosophy Why both extremes can alienate the average person and cause division within the profession 2. Parallels Between Religion and Chiropractic Origin story of chiropractic (Harvey Lillard, DD and BJ Palmer) has a near-mythical tone Green Books and 33 Principles serve as sacred texts The adjustment functions as a ritual for some practitioners Concepts like innate intelligence resemble spiritual or religious ideas Evangelistic language: “power is on,” “saving lives,” “this is my purpose” Chiropractic's internal denominations: upper cervical groups, technique systems, subluxation-based vs. evidence-based 3. Why Religious Messaging Is Problematic It creates confusion—both within the profession and with the public The message doesn't resonate with the majority of people Research shows only around 12–15% of Americans see a chiropractor regularly Going “all in” on a new-age approach would alienate at least two-thirds of current and potential patients Other medical and health professions avoid spiritualized language and reach far more people 4. Why This Messaging Still Exists It's historically embedded in the profession It gives chiropractors a stronger sense of purpose It appeals to those looking for identity, certainty, and belonging It's often easier to repeat philosophical slogans than to critically evaluate them Chiropractic schools that promote this mindset continue to attract like-minded students Key Takeaways Chiropractic isn't religion—and it doesn't need belief or faith to work The profession should focus on benefits, not belief systems Presenting chiropractic in mystical or exaggerated terms limits its appeal Chiropractors should strive for clarity, consistency, and excellence in communication and care Patients don't need to believe in a philosophy—they just need to know chiropractic helps them feel and function better What Should Chiropractors Do? Be excellent at what you do Avoid shortcuts and weekend certifications just to add services Master your craft, whether it's manual adjustments, soft tissue work, or rehab Communicate clearly and effectively Avoid sounding like a conspiracy theorist or spiritual guru Test your messaging with people outside the profession to make sure it sounds normal Focus on practical benefits Most people care about how chiropractic will help them feel and function better Benefits like improved sleep, reduced pain, better mobility, and less stress resonate more than abstract philosophy Stop repeating what you've heard without questioning it Be thoughtful and intentional with your words Avoid parroting slogans or ideas that don't hold up to scrutiny Services Mentioned Rocket Chiro Websites: Designed to convert visitors into patients Local SEO Services: Focused on improving Google Maps rankings Next Step Program: On-demand coaching for new and stuck chiropractors Free Website and SEO Assessment: No-obligation review with personalized feedback For more info, visit: www.rocketchiro.com Closing Thoughts Jerry makes it clear: he loves chiropractic. It has changed his life. But love for the profession doesn't mean ignoring its problems. If chiropractors want the public to understand and trust what they do, they need to communicate in a way that makes sense to normal people. That means cutting out the spiritual fluff and focusing on what actually helps. If you're ready to grow a chiropractic practice that connects with real people and delivers real results, this episode is for you. Want Help Growing Your Practice?

John and Craig welcome author Stu Horvath to look at the rich history of tabletop role playing games. From Stu's collection of over 2300 RPGs, they look at the evolution of collaborative storytelling, interactive narrative design, and the communities of players they inspire. We also discuss the complicated influences of J.R.R. Tolkien and H.P. Lovecraft on the world of D&D, and how the need to escape their derivative influences pushed RPGs to new heights of world-building and storytelling. In our bonus segment for premium members, Stu leads us down down down to discuss a surprisingly recent narrative staple: dungeons.

Want to survive your first Warhammer Fantasy game without getting eaten by a goblin or arrested for fashion crimes? This episode teaches you the grimdark basics—judgy elves included. Big thanks to our sponsor, Dungeon Master Adamantine—the only GM who can run a perfect session and pronounce "Naggaroth" correctly on the first try. If you want to play D&D, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire: The Masquerade, or any other TTRPG—whether you're in Greece, online, or just chaos-curious—book your game at dungeonmasteradamantine.com or find him on StartPlaying. Show Notes: In this gloriously grimdark episode, the RPGBOT crew celebrates both personal victories and narrative tragedy—because nothing says Pride like running a half marathon and being emotionally wrecked by Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay lore. The crew dives deep into the richly depressing world of Warhammer Fantasy, from the human-centric politics of the Empire to the lizard-brained logic of the Slann. They explore the setting's clashing cultures, catastrophic corruption mechanics, and the unfortunate magical side effects of wearing the wrong outfit. Expect heated discussions on dwarf grudges, elf egos, undead management tips, and why your bright pink tunic might just get you killed during spellcasting. The conversation also gets tactical as they unpack dungeon design do's and don'ts, from the elegance of the Five Room Dungeon to the emotional trauma that is Tomb of Horrors. Spoiler alert: don't design your dungeon like a video game unless your players are part AI and emotionally numb. This episode is equal parts war-torn exposition and mechanics breakdown, with a healthy helping of sarcastic celebration. Key Takeaways: Pride is powerful. So is finishing a half marathon. So is a vampire count on a zombie dragon. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is what happens when early modern Europe and cosmic horror have a very messy divorce. The Empire: Best place to be human, worst place to not pay your taxes. Bretonnia: Where chivalry and classism come with matching banners. Kislev: Frostpunk with bears and chaos cultists. Dark Elves: If Hot Topic and human sacrifice had a baby. Warhammer Fantasy ≠ Warhammer 40K. This one has fewer space marines, more diseases. Elves are superior—just ask them. The Old World is “Europe but cursed.” The New World is “Colonialism but with dinosaurs.” Dwarves: Have grudges, will travel (underground). Lizardmen: Technically the good guys, if you like ancient prophecy and no interpersonal skills. Greenskins: Orcs, goblins, and the chaos-fueled frat party that never ends. Skaven: Backstabbing rat anarchists who somehow built a nuclear weapons program. Undead: Vampires rule the night; Tomb Kings rule the day (and resent the living). Chaos: The multiversal HR violation that unites us all. Your class and career determine your fate, like high school but with more mutations. Warhammer's magic system: Be fluent in death chants and fashion-forward or suffer the consequences. Psychology, fear, corruption, and disease aren't flavor—they're core mechanics. Color-coordination is literally rules-as-written. You can die for clashing. Spellcasting is hard. Miscasting is harder. Death by wardrobe malfunction is canon. Character progression is XP-based. Advancement is granular and glorious. Half-elves aren't a thing. Racial purity is, unfortunately, a cultural theme. Dungeon design should offer choices, not just punishment. Unless you're Tomb of Horrors. The Five Room Dungeon is a GM's best friend—tight, deadly, and endlessly adaptable. Don't copy video game dungeons. This isn't Skyrim and your players aren't NPCs. Listen now and learn why wearing a green sash while casting a red spell might kill you faster than a chaos spawn with an axe.
