Continuing the path of destruction and erasure of the OG creators of D&D, Wizards of the Coast has announced that the new DND 5.5/OneDND starter set will include a new version of B2: Keep on the Borderlands, but "updated for modern audiences."  Why are they intentionally scrubbing or rewriting classic content that has no need for revision?  Then, after the news which includes even MORE reimaginings, the gang talks about how you can build layers of intrigue, mystery, and engagement as a Dungeon Master for the players at your table!   ----more---- The News: ...not just "Keep" Diablo IV borrowing from D2!

Well, Wizards of the Coast (with lots of Hasbro fingerprints) has stuck it to fans again -- this time, their 5e base.  WotC has chosen to force the shift to OneDND and will auto convert all materials in D&D Beyond to the new platform, once again breaking their word about backwards compatibility.  The SparkleTroll crowd is NOT happy.  Can we utilize this move to save one or more 5e darlings and bolster our corner of the hobby?  A detailed discussion between Ryan, Bert, and Kyle; and the stances the three take about saving (or not saving) the mainstream will surprise you!   ----more---- The News: Civ VII Going Back to Basics Dinosaurs and Knights!!

Continuing the 2-part show from last week, Grim Jim joins RD and Bert to talk about the discussion in the mainstream TTRPG/DnD hobby for the "need" for game designers to insert and address political themes, social justice, and "wrongs" of society in their games.  Why is this a "need?"  Answer: It is not.  Plus, we begin the show laughing at some insanity in the pop media with the news and a trip to our favorite inmates-running-the-asylum online cesspool, Reddit.   ----more---- The News: Pop it!

OneDND has been set free by Wizards of the Coast.  With WotC's "new" and "daring" upgrade now getting a lot of buzz, we take an ENTIRE episode talking about other games you can and should bring to your table!  With Kyle out on vacation, our friend Grim Jim Desborough sits in and brings his unique perspective and two decades of professional game design experience to the conversation.  Our picks span fantasy, horror, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, and more.. the guys dive deep into their choices of TTRPGs for your crew.     ----more---- The News: Coming up next week! ----more----   Grab The Village of Greenhaven for your table!

Hasbro's 2nd Quarter earnings have posted.  WotC continues to bleed.  Sales are down.  BUT -- RD thinks the Q looks... good?!?  An economics light discussion of why Hasbro may not be in as much peril as some in the hobby would like.  Plus, Elder Gods and Woke Warriors in the news.  After the news, the guys look at how Wizards of the Coast believes they are pandering to their SparkleTroll audience, but it may be backfiring based on response to the "new" Ranger class.   ----more---- The News: Arkham Horror TTRPG Makes RD Swoon Stormlight RPG Getting a Bad Shake?

Bert and RD sit down and talk about a request from a friend of the show: "What is your personal 'Appendix N-like' curated list of non-print inspiration?"  Listen as the guys chronicle everything from Movies to TV to Video Games and more!  How did these items impact their games and their creativity?  The news this week is, well, exactly what you would expect during a week when Wizards of the Coast released a Rainbow Brite sorcerer.  It's a fun discussion that pulls from all of the things we love!   ----more---- The News: The new Xbox controller is... what?

Oh no!  That giant just turned Bert's character into meat paste!  What considerations are necessary and what must a player, a DM, and a gaming group do to pivot when a PC buys the farm?  RD and Bert pontificate this point because, well, Bert's character was turned into meat paste at the last gaming session.  After the news, the duo discuss what input, if any, is appropriate for players to have and what sway do they carry as it relates to world building.   ----more---- The News: Pour a drink with this Board Game "Old" DND supplements for your 5e game.  Heh.

Surprise, surprise: Wizards of the Coast continues to "re-imagine" Dungeons & Dragons... potentially into the grave.  The "improvements" to crafting and the introduction of a hybrid "Minecraft" and "MMO" crafting system were released, and it looks like once again the game is getting fundamentally changed for the worse.  The news makes us laugh as we ride the struggle bus through a Reddit post.  Finally, we talk death in space with the fantastic horror/sci-fi TTRPG, Mothership.   ----more---- The News: Oooohhh Yeah!  Dig it!

Spinning out of a conversation from last week, the gang talks about the title and role of the Dungeon Master in DnD.  Is "referee" appropriate?  What level of separation must the DM have with the group and the world?  After this fun debate, with each of the guys having a distinct opinion, we tackle the news before saddling up to talk the resurgence of the Western in Hollywood.   ----more---- The News: Check out the Headlights on Her!

Wizards of the Coast has dropped a bunch of the "New" Dungeons & Dragons art... and it is just as hideous, woke, and racist as you could hope for.  The guys talk about some of the more outlandish pieces and discuss how art, generally, is important to the hobby and hooks players in each game.  Are some of these pieces intentionally horrific?  Then, after a trip to DnD Reddit, the news keeps us cool in a very unique way before ending up with some quality "modern journalism."   ----more---- Grab The Village of Greenhaven NOW!

In this episode, the gang talk about the TTRPG curse older than time: Getting the group together.  Inevitably, every group is going to ride the rocky road of scheduling.  Why is this the killing blow for some groups?  How can you pivot?  Is it the end of the D&D World?  Then after the news, as requested by the Nerdcognito Nation, the boys revisit, run down, and review the excellent co-op/traitor board game, Unfathomable!   ----more---- Grab The Village of Greenhaven NOW!

A frustrated Dungeon Master presented his players (do they play?) with a list of "rules" that were going to be implemented moving forward.  While clearly frustrated with SparkleTroll and otherwise bad player behavior as we dig through his list we have to ask...

Nerdcognito talks to... Daniel D. Fox?!? (yes, THAT Daniel D. Fox) Uh oh. "Infamous" RD and Kyle sit down with the "notorious" Daniel D. Fox, creator of Zweihander, alleged destructor of The Trove, and all around polarizing figure in the TTRPG space. Publicly politically misaligned with the guys AND potentially on the opposite end of the gaming spectrum, what odd cosmic alignment brought these two forces together? Tough questions will be asked, and hopefully answered. Could an impossible alliance be formed? Does someone storm out? Is there punch and pie? Be sure to sit back and enjoy one of the very rare interviews given by the one and only Daniel D. Fox.       ----more---- Grab The Village of Greenhaven NOW!

Hey guys! This week I'm trying something brand new on the podcast. I created an "audiobook" edition of some of my favorite hedge fund letters. This week, I read the Q4 letters from the following funds: Greenhaven Road Capital Laughing Water Capital Greenlight Capital There is one other podcast that does this (Capital Literature), but I thought having a more human voice would make it easier to listen to, hopefully you agree. Also, I thought now would be a great time to try this as I'm traveling to FL for my bachelor party.
