Podcasts about GMS

Reggie Adetula & John Lopez go Around the NFL with the regular season done, which means coaches & GMs getting canned.

Reggie Adetula & John Lopez go Around the NFL with the regular season done, which means coaches & GMs getting canned. Reggie & John then go out to NRG Stadium where Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans speaks to the media pertaining to Sunday's win and looking ahead to the Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Afterwards, they take a look at What's Poppin on the first Monday of 2026.

This week! Jeremy Cobb and Candace the Magnificent are joined by Jennifer Kretchmer, a multi-talented writer, producer, actor, consultant, and tabletop creative whose work spans storytelling, performance, and game design. The Halflings explore how Jennifer's writing, acting, and lifelong nerdiness came together to form her creative origin story, and how her own disability became a driving force behind her passion for disability advocacy. Together, they discuss the perception of disability in the US, the discrimination the disabled community continues to face, and how these experiences shape both creative work and everyday life. The episode also looks at how players and GMs can thoughtfully approach disability at the table when playing tabletop roleplaying games, setting the foundation for a deeper discussion to come in part two.

Farewell 2025, Hello 2026 As the dice finish rolling on 2025, we want to take a moment—before the initiative tracker resets—to say thank you. This year was packed with bold experiments, deep dives, hot takes, re-releases, masterclasses, actual plays, rule arguments that absolutely mattered, and more than a few moments where we stopped mid-recording and said, "Wait… does that actually work?" Thanks to you, the listeners, it did. In 2025, RPGBOT.Podcast explored new systems, revisited old favorites, broke down mechanics piece by piece, and kept doing what we love most: helping players, GMs, and curious rules-gremlins play better games. Whether you joined us for crunchy optimization, narrative tools, indie RPG spotlights, or chaotic actual-play energy, you helped make this year something special. We also saw the community grow—more voices, more perspectives, more people pulling up a chair at the virtual table. From longtime listeners who've been with us since the early days, to folks who found us for the first time this year: you're the reason we keep hitting "record." Now, we turn the page. 2026 is already shaping up to be something big. More deep dives. More experiments. More guests. More games that surprise us. More moments where the rules bend—and sometimes break—in interesting ways. We're bringing forward everything we learned in 2025, sharpening our tools, and rolling into the new year with fresh ideas, bigger plans, and the same love for tabletop roleplaying games that started this whole thing. So whether you're listening right now with friends, alone on a late-night walk, or prepping for your next session—thank you for making RPGBOT part of your year. Here's to new campaigns. Here's to better characters. Here's to smarter GMs, braver players, and stories that stick with us long after the dice are packed away. Happy New Year. Welcome to 2026. Let's roll.

Why do we play tabletop roleplaying games? In this episode of Jaunty Mantis, we dive deep into the philosophy of RPGs—exploring power fantasy, collaborative storytelling, violence as conversation, rules vs. narrative, and why dice-driven games feel so different from novels, improv, or video games. Funny, thoughtful, occasionally unhinged, and deeply personal - heres what we cover: Whether RPGs are about story or process How power and agency evolve from adolescence to adulthood Why violence is baked into many RPG systems RPGs as ritual, catharsis, and even modern church The lessons roleplaying games teach us without permission Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio 00:00 Goblins, group projects, and chaotic RPG energy 04:20 Mechs, demons, china cabinets, and Chaos Earth 07:30 Music in RPGs & table atmosphere 12:45 Vampire: The Masquerade highlights (content warning) 18:30 Mage, aesthetics, and growing out of edgy design 19:25 So… what is the point of a roleplaying game? 21:15 Why not just write a novel? 23:10 RPGs, mythmaking, and the “magic circle” 28:40 Power fantasy: bad GMs vs. healthy agency 32:10 Sharing vs. surrendering authorial control 37:15 RPGs as bar stories and social rituals 38:50 Do rules matter? 45:30 Violence as conversation in RPGs 50:15 Story vs. process 53:20 What RPGs taught us about ourselves 56:40 Why this hobby matters so much

The waiver wire may have been quiet, but there's no shortage of Phillies items to hit on a new Hittin' Season, hosted by The Good Phight's John Stolnis and Justin Klugh of Baseball Prospectus. What about Bryce Harper wearing a Not Elite T-shirt? Does Dave Dombrowski give the Phillies an edge over other GMs? And does the Phils outfield have a chance to be the worst in baseball? Surely not! Also, when is J.T. Realmuto going to sign?

You survived the one-shot. No one died permanently. Only some rules were misunderstood. Now comes the most dangerous phase of any tabletop experience: questions. In this episode, the RPGBOT crew sits down after the Pathfinder 2e one-shot to answer the things every new player asks—what worked, what didn't, what we forgot, and why Pathfinder 2e somehow makes rules discussions feel productive instead of like a rules-lawyer cage match. Pathfinder 2e Re-Releases! Perfect timing for learning, teaching, and holiday one-shots: RPGBOT is re-releasing our Pathfinder 2e Quickstart episodes for the 2025 holiday season! These remastered episodes are ideal for new players, GMs running demos, and groups revisiting PF2e after a long break—just in time to answer all those "wait, how does that work again?" questions.

This episode focuses on reflection, clarification, and practical advice drawn directly from actual gameplay. We revisit moments from the one-shot to explain how actions, reactions, conditions, and skill usage worked in practice, clarifying rules that are often misunderstood during early PF2e play. The discussion highlights how the three-action economy rewards thoughtful decisions, how teamwork improves outcomes, and what players should prioritize learning first versus what can wait. This episode is especially helpful for groups that have just finished a Pathfinder 2e one-shot, as it bridges the gap between reading the rules and truly understanding how the system feels at the table.

Every tabletop RPG player has had this thought at some point: "If I had one Wish, I could fix everything." And every Dungeon Master has had the immediate follow-up thought: "If you cast Wish, I'm fixing you." In this episode, the RPGBOT crew tackles the most powerful spell in the game—the one that can rewrite reality, end campaigns, summon divine attention, and turn a carefully planned epic into a rules argument that lasts longer than combat at level 17. Whether you're wishing for ultimate power, infinite gold, or just a snack because the barbarian is bored, we're here to explain how Wish actually works… and why your DM is already sweating. Wish is the most powerful spell in tabletop roleplaying games—and one of the most dangerous. In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we break down how Wish works across Dungeons & Dragons 3.5e, D&D 5e (2014 and 2024), Pathfinder 1e, and Pathfinder 2e, including its lore, mechanics, exploits, and why so many Game Masters fear it. We explore how Wish can replicate spells, rewrite reality, override divine power, and derail entire campaigns if mishandled. The discussion covers infamous loopholes like simulacrum chains, genie-granted wishes, ritual casting in Pathfinder 2e, and why Wish is often the reason high-level campaigns fall apart. Finally, we offer practical GM advice for handling Wish without ruining your game—whether you want it as a campaign capstone, a narrative ritual, or a controlled tool of world-changing magic. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts take an in-depth look at Wish, the iconic reality-altering spell that defines high-level play in Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. Often called the most powerful spell ever printed, Wish allows characters to replicate spells, heal allies, undo actions, reshape the world, and even challenge the gods themselves—at a steep narrative and mechanical cost. The episode begins with the lore of Wish, including its emergence after the fall of Netheril and its relationship to lost 10th-level magic. The hosts then compare how Wish functions mechanically across editions, from the expensive, tightly worded versions in D&D 3.5e and Pathfinder 1e, to the flexible but risky spellcasting in D&D 5e, and finally the radically redesigned Pathfinder 2e Wish ritual, which introduces casting time, interference, ritual checks, and failure states. A major focus is why Wish is so controversial for Game Masters. The discussion covers campaign-breaking outcomes, narrative paradoxes, infamous exploits like infinite simulacrum armies, and why many tables restrict or ban the spell outright. The hosts also examine genie-granted wishes, highlighting how Pathfinder 2e adds unique wish interpretations based on genie type—ranging from diplomatic and literal to malicious and destabilizing. The episode concludes with practical GM advice on how to handle Wish responsibly: limiting it to core effects, telegraphing consequences, using rituals instead of instant casting, and reframing Wish as a dramatic story event rather than an "I win" button. Key Takeaways Wish is widely considered the most powerful spell in tabletop RPGs, capable of rewriting reality itself. Different systems handle Wish very differently, with Pathfinder 2e's ritual system offering the strongest structural safeguards. In D&D 5e, spell duplication is the safest use of Wish; creative uses risk permanent loss of the spell. Wish is a major reason many GMs avoid or limit high-level campaigns. Genie-granted wishes introduce flavorful but dangerous interpretations, especially in Pathfinder 2e. Successful use of Wish requires clear GM communication, narrative foreshadowing, and player trust.

Nothing teaches a rules system faster than throwing it directly into danger. In this episode, the RPGBOT crew does exactly that by unleashing a Pathfinder 2e one-shot designed to show how the rules actually work when dice hit the table. Expect missed attacks, clever teamwork, rules "aha!" moments, and at least one situation where the three-action economy proves it is both elegant and mildly terrifying. Pathfinder 2e Re-Releases! Just in time for holiday one-shots, convention games, and introducing curious relatives to tabletop RPGs, RPGBOT is re-releasing our Pathfinder 2e Quickstart episodes for the 2025 holiday season! These remastered episodes are perfect for GMs running demos, players learning PF2e for the first time, and groups looking for a clean, rules-forward way to start adventuring. Show Notes In Part 3 of the RPGBOT.Quickstart series, we put Pathfinder Second Edition rules into action with a one-shot example play session designed specifically to teach the game through real gameplay. Instead of theory, this episode shows how Pathfinder 2e actions, reactions, skills, and combat mechanics function at the table when players are making real decisions under pressure. The episode walks listeners through initiative, movement, skill checks, and combat rounds, highlighting how the three-action economy creates meaningful tactical choices every turn. We discuss when to Strike, Step, Raise a Shield, Recall Knowledge, and use reactions—showing how Pathfinder 2e rewards teamwork and planning without bogging the game down. This example play is ideal for new players, GMs preparing a Pathfinder 2e one-shot, or anyone who wants to see how PF2e rules flow in practice. By hearing the rules applied in context, listeners gain confidence running or playing Pathfinder Second Edition at their own tables. Key Takeaways Pathfinder 2e is easiest to learn by seeing the rules in action. The three-action economy gives players flexibility and tactical depth. Positioning, teamwork, and smart action use matter more than raw damage. PF2e combat flows quickly once players understand actions and reactions. One-shots are an excellent way to teach Pathfinder Second Edition. Clear rules structure makes PF2e beginner-friendly when demonstrated properly. Example play bridges the gap between reading rules and playing confidently. Join the RPGBOT Patreon! Want to see how these episodes come together before they're released?

Nothing teaches a rules system faster than throwing it directly into danger. In this episode, the RPGBOT crew does exactly that by unleashing a Pathfinder 2e one-shot designed to show how the rules actually work when dice hit the table. Expect missed attacks, clever teamwork, rules "aha!" moments, and at least one situation where the three-action economy proves it is both elegant and mildly terrifying. Pathfinder 2e Re-Releases! Just in time for holiday one-shots, convention games, and introducing curious relatives to tabletop RPGs, RPGBOT is re-releasing our Pathfinder 2e Quickstart episodes for the 2025 holiday season! These remastered episodes are perfect for GMs running demos, players learning PF2e for the first time, and groups looking for a clean, rules-forward way to start adventuring. Show Notes In Part 3 of the RPGBOT.Quickstart series, we put Pathfinder Second Edition rules into action with a one-shot example play session designed specifically to teach the game through real gameplay. Instead of theory, this episode shows how Pathfinder 2e actions, reactions, skills, and combat mechanics function at the table when players are making real decisions under pressure. The episode walks listeners through initiative, movement, skill checks, and combat rounds, highlighting how the three-action economy creates meaningful tactical choices every turn. We discuss when to Strike, Step, Raise a Shield, Recall Knowledge, and use reactions—showing how Pathfinder 2e rewards teamwork and planning without bogging the game down. This example play is ideal for new players, GMs preparing a Pathfinder 2e one-shot, or anyone who wants to see how PF2e rules flow in practice. By hearing the rules applied in context, listeners gain confidence running or playing Pathfinder Second Edition at their own tables. Key Takeaways Pathfinder 2e is easiest to learn by seeing the rules in action. The three-action economy gives players flexibility and tactical depth. Positioning, teamwork, and smart action use matter more than raw damage. PF2e combat flows quickly once players understand actions and reactions. One-shots are an excellent way to teach Pathfinder Second Edition. Clear rules structure makes PF2e beginner-friendly when demonstrated properly. Example play bridges the gap between reading rules and playing confidently. Join the RPGBOT Patreon! Want to see how these episodes come together before they're released?

The NBA loves a fairytale ending — legends riding off into the sunset with one last ring. But the reality is harsher: aging championship stars can become a “poison pill” for franchises, locking teams into oversized salaries, outdated roster-building, and stalled player development.In this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher breaks down why it's so difficult to break up a title-winning core — and why the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors are the latest examples of teams paying the price for loyalty while still selling championship expectations.Ric also explains why the best organizations make the cold-blooded pivot before the clock strikes midnight, the role fans and media play in keeping “one more run” alive, and how teams end up stuck when the window closes but the payroll doesn't.00:00:35 – Where to find Ric (FS1/Fox Sports Radio) + new book on being coachable 00:01:18 – Holiday delay + why Christmas Day set up this episode 00:01:49 – The “poison pill” problem: aging champions and marquee teams 00:02:14 – Why breaking up a championship core is so hard 00:03:11 – History lesson: teams that waited too long to turn the page 00:03:38 – Loyalty is fine… if you're honest about expectations 00:05:02 – The hidden cost: money, roles, roster, coaching, and marketing built around stars 00:06:02 – Why “contend + develop” usually doesn't work (Warriors example) 00:06:48 – What real transition looks like (Wade → LeBron, Duncan → Kawhi) 00:07:52 – Fans, connection, and the business of keeping “the guy” 00:09:45 – Media vs fan reality: why we get it twisted about “upgrades” 00:11:31 – Booker/Suns as the blueprint for “glimmer of hope” economics 00:15:26 – The “glimmer” sidebar + players who sell hope without June basketball 00:16:53 – Why it's different when the star actually won a ring 00:17:41 – The ruthless move: trade the star before midnight 00:18:42 – Recent examples of teams doubling down on aging stars 00:19:12 – Bill Walsh trading Joe Montana: the blueprint 00:20:19 – Which current GMs will actually make the hard pivot? 00:21:52 – Teams that missed the window: Lakers/Warriors/Clippers (and why it matters now) 00:22:39 – Lakers roster-building problem around Luka + payroll realities 00:23:20 – Warriors payroll trap: Steph/Jimmy/Draymond math 00:25:17 – Why re-signing Draymond locked in the old identity 00:25:50 – Klay nostalgia vs reality + the real mistake 00:26:22 – Wrap-up + teaser on tanking/competition solutions next episodeFollow Ric Bucher: X / Instagram / Threads / Bluesky: @RicBucher #NBA #Lakers #Warriors #LeBronJames #StephenCurry #JimmyButler #DraymondGreen #NBATalk #NBAAnalysis #OnTheBall #RicBucher #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

Automotive technology is broken — and it's not because dealers don't buy enough tools. In this episode of Driven Loyalty, Jason Harris sits down with automotive technology veteran Adam Gillrie from Savvy Dealer to unpack why dealership tech stacks are still 10 years behind, how innovation keeps getting derailed, and why no amount of marketing can fix a bad customer experience. They dig into the real reasons dealer technology fails: tools built for dealerships instead of customers, endless software band-aids for broken processes, and an industry that ignores its own data. From CRMs and websites to AI, digital BDCs, and data-driven decision making, this conversation cuts through the noise and challenges how dealers think about technology, people, and process. If you're tired of buying “tools” that promise results but deliver friction, this episode will change how you evaluate tech, measure performance, and design experiences that actually create loyal customers. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why automotive technology innovation keeps stalling • How dealers unintentionally sabotage great ideas • Why tools don't fix broken processes • The danger of building tech for dealers instead of customers • How data should guide decisions — not dashboards • What AI gets right (and wrong) in dealerships today • How top operators actually create loyal customers This episode is for dealer principals, GMs, marketing leaders, and anyone responsible for choosing, managing, or fixing dealership technology. ⚡Powered by Podium, redefining customer connection.

In this episode of The Corner of Story and Game, we sit down with David Gallaher to talk about Creatures and Cocktails, an immersive Dungeons and Dragons experience built to feel welcoming, premium, and deeply communal. David shares how his background across games and comics shaped the way he thinks about “ramp up,” onboarding, and reducing lore overload so new players can jump in without feeling lost.Together, we explore what changes when D and D becomes a live, hosted experience. How you design for comfort and confidence, how you fight choice paralysis, and why the real goal is not telling people a story, but helping a table build a shared one. If you care about narrative design, live play, or building experiences that make people feel seen, this conversation has a lot to steal.Topics Include:Creating a strong “on ramp” for new players without dumping loreDesigning immersive tabletop experiences that feel premiumReducing choice paralysis while preserving player agencyBuilding community rules and values that protect the tableWhy shared authorship creates ownership and deeper play

In this Week 51 episode, Ingrid and Henning break down the latest ship recycling and demolition market signals across Bangladesh, India (Alang), Pakistan (Gadani), and Turkey (Aliaga). This week delivers a sharp reminder of December volatility: freight markets continue to ease, the U.S. Dollar remains unstable, oil holds at relatively low levels, and local steel plate prices shift across the sub-continent. With the Hong Kong Convention (HKC) now in force, recyclers continue adapting to higher compliance expectations, while owners watch pricing and delivery timing closely heading into year-end. Market overview highlights: Lower supply remains the defining theme, even as fixtures and arrivals begin to surface across sub-continent beaches. Bangladesh sees another price reset as steel plate prices drop quickly and yard capacity remains a key factor. India remains under pressure overall, but the Rupee firms and local plate prices rebound, adding short-term optimism. Pakistan strengthens its position with firmer domestic steel and ongoing HKC momentum, though delivery delays remain a concern. Turkey stays largely sidelined as restrictions and currency weakness keep Aliaga quiet. Indicative recycling levels this week (USD per LDT): Bangladesh: Bulker 410 | Tanker 430 | Container 440 Pakistan: Bulker 400 | Tanker 420 | Container 430 India: Bulker 380 | Tanker 400 | Container 410 Turkey: Bulker 270 | Tanker 280 | Container 290 Also in this episode: GMS is proud to share that our Founder and CEO, Dr. Anil Sharma, has been recognized in the Lloyd's List Top 100 Most Influential People in Shipping for the 16th consecutive year. Under his leadership, GMS has completed more than 5,000 transactions and handles about one-third of global tonnage delivered for recycling each year. If you want the full market context, pricing direction, and port position snapshots, follow GMS for weekly ship recycling intelligence. Season's greetings to you and your families, and thank you for listening.

The Washington Nationals have officially turned the page by hiring Anirudh Kilambi as their new general manager, and the backstory matters just as much as the résumé. Kilambi's lifelong obsession with baseball — forged as a Giants fan in Northern California and sharpened through years of self-imposed limits, rule-bending inning counts, and relentless curiosity — paints the picture of a front-office executive who didn't just fall into the sport, but lived it. At just 31 years old, Kilambi becomes one of the youngest GMs in Major League Baseball, joining the Nationals after four years with the Philadelphia Phillies, where he rose to assistant GM and gained a reputation as a sharp, data-driven evaluator with strong people skills. For the Washington Nationals, this hire signals a philosophical shift under new president of baseball operations Paul Toboni. Kilambi represents a modern MLB executive: analytically inclined, development-focused, and deeply invested in process over flash. As the Nationals continue their rebuild and attempt to turn elite draft capital and young talent into sustainable success, Kilambi's obsession-turned-expertise could be the defining factor. This isn't just a new general manager — it's a bet on vision, preparation, and a long-term plan to bring winning baseball back to Washington. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In Part 3 of Ship Recycling Insurance Explained, host Jamie Dalzell and Paulina, Head of Insurance at GMS, look ahead at the technologies, regulations, and ESG expectations that will shape the next phase of maritime risk management. As ship recycling becomes more regulated and data driven, owners, insurers, and recycling partners rely on stronger verification systems and real-time information to manage final voyage exposure. Paulina explains how digital tools, vessel tracking, AI based routing, and improved certification processes are increasing transparency and reducing risk across the recycling chain. The conversation highlights how insurers are now linking coverage and premium terms to ESG performance, worker safety standards, carbon considerations, and responsible recycling practices. The episode also explores how GMS prepares for regulatory change by strengthening audits, working with reputable insurers, and investing in digital monitoring to maintain high operational standards. Topics include: • How vessel tracking and digital tools support better risk decisions • The role of AI in voyage planning and incident prevention • How digital certification improves transparency and compliance • Growing ESG influence on underwriting, pricing, and coverage availability • Environmental liability trends and new regulatory expectations • How GMS prepares for future maritime and recycling regulations • The importance of proactive and responsible risk management This final episode ties together the themes of the series and shows how the future of ship recycling insurance will be shaped by technology, ESG performance, and evolving international standards.

Can a tabletop RPG ever be fully serious — or is humor baked into the DNA of playing with your friends?In this episode of Jaunty Mantis, Jesse, Matty, and Chris dive into a surprisingly complex question: Is humor an unavoidable part of tabletop role-playing games — or can you truly run a serious, emotionally resonant campaign?Drawing from decades of combined experience, the hosts explore how laughter, tension, character backstories, emotional beats, and even absurd emergent moments all blend together at the table. From Vampire: The Masquerade's deadly-serious in-character drama to D&D's natural silliness and its self-referential culture, the crew unpacks why we play — and what we hope to feel.They discuss tools like character bonds, session zero prompts, life-path systems, emotional stakes, and ways GMs can create deeper, more meaningful moments without losing the fun.Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio

Most brewery leaders step into leadership because they're good at what they do. They care. They work hard. And they want the people around them to succeed. But at some point, that's not enough. Passion doesn't automatically translate to progress, and well-meaning effort doesn't always grow a healthy team.This session offers a practical look at what it means to lead people on purpose. We'll explore a proven framework for developing your team members on purpose - including the necessary steps and stages, as well as what kind of support they need from you at each step.It's not about adding more to your plate. It's about getting clearer on what leadership actually requires if your goal is to build people, not just fill roles. If you've ever felt stuck between being the go-to person and wanting others to step up, this session will give you language, clarity, and a way forward.Chris Ediger is the founder of Craft Leadership, where he works with breweries to strengthen the people side of the business. Craft works alongside owners, managers, GMs, and shift leads to help them lead with more clarity, coach with more purpose, and build teams that actually work. The approach comes from years spent inside breweries of all shapes and sizes - on the floor with production crews, behind the bar with taproom staff, and in the room with leadership teams making hard calls. With simple tools and honest conversation, Craft helps leaders handle the everyday tension of running a brewery: managing people, keeping standards high, and still walking out the door with something left to give.Learn more about the Craft Leader Certification: https://craftleadership.co/certificationStay up to date with CBP: http://update.craftbeerprofessionals.org/

On-ice testing in Milan is set for early January, with the building's completion now targeted for Feb. 2. There are concerns about the ice quality during testing in a building that may not be 100% sealed, and frustration from NHL owners who built their schedule around the Olympic break. In Vancouver, Quinn Hughes trade chatter keeps escalating after he casually called Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald “Fitzy,” though Ray says that specific angle is nonsense even if a future trade might be real. The Devils look lost without Jack Hughes, and the ongoing speculation appears to be weighing on Quinn, who’s trying to do too much on a struggling Canucks team. Toronto grabbed a tight 2–0 win amid a wildly tight standings picture, but a messy melee might bring a suspension for Bobby McCann after a high slash on Bjorkstrand; Ray thinks it should be more than one game and continues to advocate for harsher discipline. Finally, Dregs’ informal poll of GMs rates Colorado and Dallas as the NHL’s model organizations, praised for consistent contention, strong drafting and front-office continuity rooted in past dynasty influences.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
