David Wildman has written his share of gems over the years, often in bands that deserved way more attention than they got. His band TELL refines the moody yet pop-centric approach he's had all along. …But the real news here is Wildman's flair for storytelling: The songs here present characters who are a little offbeat, sometimes flawed but always recognizable, all making their way through a desperate era.

[An essential fan favorite from 2018 - with the dean of "forgotten sports" promotion!]  If someone ever decides to build an American sports promotion Hall of Fame, the inaugural class will undoubtedly be led by this week's special guest, Doug Verb.  In a career spanning more than 40 years in professional sports management, Verb's remarkable career has included spearheading marketing, promotion, publicity, and television for some of the most innovative and memorable leagues and franchises of the modern era.  One of the founding executives of both the pioneering Major Indoor Soccer League (along with sports entrepreneurs Earl Foreman, Ed Tepper, and previous podcast guest Dr. Joe Machnik), and the frenetic Arena Football League (with the sport's inventor [and past two-part guest] Jim Foster), Verb additionally  served as president of pro soccer's legendary Chicago Sting from 1982-86 – which, incredibly, drifted between playing in two separate leagues during his tenure (for one year, simultaneously) – the outdoor North American Soccer League and the indoor MISL.  In our longest and more anecdote-filled episode to date, Verb vividly recounts the highs and lows of launching new teams, leagues and even sports themselves from whole cloth – with nary an operational blueprint or career roadmap to be found.  Buckle up for a wild ride through the woeful 1976 NASL Philadelphia Atoms, the “Rocket Red” pinball-like MISL, soccer for all seasons in the Windy City, and birthing indoor football.  PLUS:  Kiddie City to the rescue; Earl Foreman's “Brother-in-Law Effect;” getting paid in soybeans; and the curious one-game history of the Liberty Basketball Association!  + + +  SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY   SPONSOR THANKS: Royal Retros (promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats   FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

       In this Episode Saul and Jolene discuss making connections between characters.  Saul remembers the ole days when the only connection you needed or wanted was the love of killing monsters and taking their stuff.   Things have progressed to tell more meaningful stories than when Saul was a kid.  A way of doing that is to have connections between players that gives them a more meaningful reason for characters, of any genre, to go adventuring.      How do you make these "Connections" between players.   An increasing number of new RPGs  rules during character creation where connections between characters are made.  There are various ways of making connections between player's charactes.  Saul and Jolene discuss how connections impact the games you play at your rpg table.         Thank you all for Listening      Web Art by Jim Foster      Episode Art by Michael Shean-Jones     Music by Rad Hat Thomas, song Connections,  off the album I Only Have Eyes For You     Available from Tribeofnoise.com    Used Under the Creative Commons License 4.0    https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/

         Saul was thinking what were some themes or genres that RPGs have a hard time capturing the feeling or thrill of playing.  Jolene had a difficult time wondering what Saul was even talking about but after a while she realized the concept Saul was trying to explain.  One example was Sports.  A Sports themed  RPG  that wasn't  a  miniature game or boardgame desguised as a RPG.       That discussion is what lead to this episode.  So is there anything subject, theme or genre that RPGs are not good at?      If you have any comments, questions or topics you would like Saul and Jolene to discuss please email them at  Gamingperspectives.com@gmail.com      Thank you all for Listening      Web Art by Jim Foster      Episode Art by Michael Shean-Jones     Music by Alazarin, song Sports Model,  off the album It's Music Jim, Just Not as We Know It.     Available from Tribeofnoise.com     Used Under the Creative Commons License 3.0     https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
