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/

In Part 2 of Ship Recycling Insurance Explained, Jamie Dalzell and Paulina, Head of Insurance at GMS, examine how insurance helps manage market volatility, political risk, and compliance pressures in global ship recycling. Many recycling destinations face currency restrictions, regulatory challenges, and shifting geopolitical conditions, and this episode explains how structured insurance programs provide stability and protection throughout the final voyage. Paulina outlines how GMS works with global reinsurers, A rated insurance markets, and experienced local correspondents to secure reliable coverage, even in complex jurisdictions. She also discusses how tailored policy wording addresses sanctions, convertibility and enforceability concerns, and the wider risk environment surrounding ship recycling. The episode highlights the growing influence of ESG standards and how insurance supports verification of safe manning, pollution safeguards, and green recycling requirements. Topics include: • Structuring insurance in markets with currency or political instability • Using strong reinsurance capacity to protect voyage and liability exposure • Managing sanctions, convertibility, and enforceability risk • Insurance as verification of ESG and responsible recycling standards • Coordination between insurance, trading, and operations teams • Monitoring routing, weather, warranties, COFR, SOR, and P and I entries • Emerging risks shaping the next phase of global ship recycling This episode shows how insurance helps GMS navigate uncertainty and maintain safe, compliant, and responsible recycling operations across multiple jurisdictions.

In this episode of the RPG series, host David Heron speaks with Mike Mearls , a key figure behind Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. They dive into what makes both D&D and Magic: The Gathering compelling at their core, how designers can take their first steps into TTRPG creation, and the role online discussion plays—both positive and problematic—in shaping the hobby. Mike also shares his current design approaches, thoughts on accessibility for players of all backgrounds, and how to encourage strong GMs and engaged players. A packed conversation filled with insight for designers and longtime D&D fans alike.

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.

This week, host Richard Graves sits down with former Great Britain and England international basketball player Kofi Josephs, an athlete whose journey through elite sport has been anything but ordinary. From growing up in Birmingham to playing in front of Michael Jordan at the Jordan Brand Classic, suffering two major hip surgeries in the US collegiate system, becoming the British Basketball League's highest-scoring British player, and navigating the hidden psychological battles behind performance… Kofi's story is raw, real, and deeply relevant for anyone working in elite sport. Now the founder of WhyNotI, a preventative mental health tech platform designed specifically for elite athletes, Kofi is on a mission to reshape how professional environments understand – and support – the person behind the performer. This episode offers an unfiltered look at the pressures, cultural challenges, expectations, and mental load that athletes carry, and the systemic changes needed to truly support sustainable high performance. What You'll Learn The hidden mental toll of elite sport and why performance alone never tells the full story. How perfectionism, pressure, and identity shape athlete wellbeing – and where support structures fall short. Why mental health must be preventative, not reactive, if teams want consistency and longevity in performance. Insights into the collegiate system in the US and its cultural, emotional, and psychological challenges for young athletes. Why separating “the athlete” from “the person” is flawed, and how reframing this changes support strategies. The crucial role of coaches, GMs, and ownership in building environments where mental health is prioritised. How WhyNotI is using technology, psychology, and data to influence policy, culture, and player care across elite sport. About Kofi Josephs Kofi Josephs is a former professional basketball player who represented England at the Commonwealth Games and Great Britain at EuroBasket, competing across elite leagues worldwide including Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, and Iceland. A psychology graduate and outspoken advocate for athlete mental health, Kofi has built a platform that blends his lived experience with scientific insight. He is the founder of WhyNotI, a preventative mental health tech solution designed to provide bespoke support for elite performers while equipping organisations with the data needed to improve culture, care, and decision-making. Kofi now works across sport, safeguarding, and policy, collaborating with leaders from national governing bodies, Olympic sports, and high-performance environments to drive systemic change.

Ever had a game session so draining that even your dice lose levels? In this episode, the RPGBOT crew resurrects one of D&D's most dreaded mechanics: energy drain, and the undead horrors that made it famous. From the White Box to Pathfinder 2e, Tyler, Randall, and Ash relive decades of pain, permanent debuffs, and emotional damage, all in the name of understanding why we're so glad energy drain is (mostly) dead. Grab your holy symbol, chug a potion, and prepare for a nostalgic necrotic nosedive. Join the RPGBOT Patreon If you want to keep your creative energy undrained, support the RPGBOT.Podcast on Patreon. Patrons get ad-free episodes, early access to our Masterclass recordings, and exclusive bonus content from Tyler, Randall, and Ash. Join us today at patreon.com/rpgbot — and help keep our hit points (and our humor) at full strength. Show Notes The RPGBOT crew takes a dark, funny journey through the history of energy drain — one of tabletop RPGs' most punishing and misunderstood mechanics. Starting with OD&D's dreaded Wight, they trace how "losing levels" evolved across editions — from instant death in AD&D to hit point maximum reduction in D&D 5e and drained conditions in Pathfinder 2e. Along the way, Ash shares stories from her Ravenloft campaign, Tyler explains why undead needed to be terrifying, and Randall asks the eternal question: "Did anyone actually have fun with this rule?" Covered Topics: How energy drain first appeared in the OD&D White Box The connection between Wights, vampires, and permanent level loss Why AD&D and 3.5 made energy drain one of the most hated mechanics ever Pathfinder 1e and the dawn of "negative levels" D&D 5e's kinder, gentler approach — max HP reduction instead of level loss Pathfinder 2e's drained and doomed conditions, and how they replace energy drain The evolution of innervation and life drain spells How modern systems preserve undead flavor without destroying players' progress A philosophical question: Should tabletop games hurt this much? Plus: a tangent about Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and how much punishment is too much Mentioned Creatures & Mechanics: Wight, Vampire Spawn, Shadow, Ghoul, Varghoul Innervation / Enervation spell Negative levels, Hit Point Maximum reduction, Drained condition Resurrection penalties in 3.5e and Pathfinder 1e Afflictions, Fortitude saves, and Constitution death spirals Key Takeaways Energy drain began as a brutally punishing mechanic — losing levels in OD&D and AD&D could erase hours of play progress instantly. Pathfinder 1e softened the blow with temporary negative levels, while still terrifying players with math-heavy penalties. 5e and PF2 modernized the concept into simpler, narratively cleaner effects like HP maximum reduction or the drained condition. Undead identity survived — even as the math got easier, the flavor of losing your vitality to a vampire or wight remained iconic. Players prefer tension over punishment. Modern systems preserve danger without making players rage-quit. Energy drain mechanics reflect evolving design philosophy — from simulationist suffering to storytelling sustainability. DM takeaway: Make undead scary through story and tension, not through math that kills fun. How to Play Holidays This Christmas season, while you're recovering from your own levels of exhaustion, the RPGBOT.Podcast is re-releasing our "How to Play" Series for Pathfinder 2e — perfect for new players and GMs ready to explore the system over the holiday break.

What makes people stay… and what makes them walk out the door? In this episode, Jen sits down with Clint Pulver — Emmy Award–winning speaker, author, and creator of the "Undercover Millennial" movement — for a raw, energy-packed conversation about leadership that actually inspires people to perform at their highest level. Clint has interviewed over 10,000 employees across the country, gathering real, unfiltered feedback about what teams love, what they fear, and why they stay committed. And the patterns he reveals apply directly to every dealership, every department, every leader. Together, Jen and Clint unpack: The fastest way leaders unintentionally push good people out How the best managers create "mentorship moments" that change everything Why today's workforce craves connection, not supervision How small leadership habits lead to massive culture shifts The secret to motivating teams without pressure or burnout Why recognition is the #1 performance accelerant What dealerships can do this week to boost energy, trust, and accountability This is a high-impact, unforgettable episode for anyone responsible for growing people — GMs, dealer principals, sales leaders, service directors, BDC managers, and anyone who wants a stronger, more motivated team. Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki Podcast |

What's really happening inside dealership service departments? In this episode, Jen sits down with Kim Saylor, Senior Director of Fixed Ops Product Marketing at CDK Global, to break down the real shifts, disruptions, and opportunities shaping fixed ops today. Kim brings big data, real research, and boots-on-the-ground insights from dealerships across the country — and she's not sugarcoating anything. Together, Jen and Kim dive into: Why customer trust is still the #1 weak link—and how the best service departments are fixing it How AI scheduling and communication tools are actually performing in the real world Where dealers are unintentionally losing service revenue What high-performing service departments do differently every single day The three action steps every leader can implement in the next 90 days Why videos, mobile approvals, and dynamic pricing are changing the game How advisors and technicians can evolve without losing the human touch that customers crave This is a candid, high-value conversation for dealers, GMs, fixed ops directors, BDC leaders, and anyone serious about elevating service performance with better processes, better tech, and better human connection.

And we thought they were only connected by wearing LAD caps. But no, Kiké Hernandez apologies to all of Puerto Rico from his hospital bed for having to miss the WBC due to shoulder surgery. Just last week his twin, Prince Harry, was apologizing to all of Canada. PCA and Corbs join Team USA and dear young Pete makes Mr. Judge feel his age. Welcome to little outlaw super athlete child, Josie James Swanson. Turns out our terrible predictions were only a little terrible – we aced Cy Young and the NL! The movement to keep LAD from visiting the White House gains traction, and the aerial tramway to the stadium loses some. The Trop is back and we want to know if the ceiling will still be “where the hell is the ball white.”Baseball United is back, including Barry Larkin Field outside of Dubai, more home grown talent, and some questionable rule changes. The Police Blotter is all sports betting because it is really hitting a new level and we don't miss the irony of the GMs meeting in a casino last week. Preliminary labor talks give Patti her second favorite quote of the week. We crosstrain with the fascist in chief's visit to the Commanders vs Lions game last week and more happily with the PWHL's Takeover Tour. Stay tuned – the WPBL's draft is coming up!We say, “You manifested the orangeness,” “That was putting the camel before the horse,” and, “You could have funded healthcare with that flyover.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
