Once upon a gaming table dreary, while we plotted, weak and weary, Came a whisper from the shadows: “What if your dice betray you with fear?” Not the fear of a natural one, nor the dread of forgetting your spell slots, But a terror woven deep into the very fabric of the game— A mechanic that chills the marrow, bends the will, And makes the bravest paladin cry out like a startled kobold. In this remastered episode, the hosts of RPGBOT dare to unearth the fear mechanics in tabletop RPGs, revealing how Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder 2e, and horror RPGs turn trembling hands and quivering voices into unforgettable stories. Laughter, like a ghast's grin, stalks alongside the horror, for even in terror, there is comedy— and nothing delights the Raven more than watching adventurers quail at shadows. Spooktober 2025 Darkness creeps, dice rattle, and somewhere in the night a gelatinous cube slurps ominously. That can only mean one thing: Spooktober has returned to the RPGBOT.Podcast! All month long, Tyler, Randall, and Ash will drag monsters out of the shadows, crack open cursed tomes of rules, and laugh nervously in the face of fear mechanics, horror RPGs, and terrifying tabletop tales. Expect scares, expect strategy, and—because it's us—expect plenty of bad jokes that would make even Vecna groan. So light a candle, gather your party, and prepare for Spooktober 2025, where the only thing scarier than a natural one… is realizing the bard is the party's front line. Show Notes Fear is the mind-killer… but it's also the story-spicer, the dice-breaker, and the thing that makes your bard suddenly remember they left the oven on back in Waterdeep. In this remastered episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, Tyler, Randall, and Ash pull apart the fear mechanics in tabletop RPGs and show how terror—whether in Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder 2e, or your favorite horror RPGs—can be hilarious, horrifying, and occasionally pants-wetting. We explore how game masters use fear to enhance storytelling, why fear mechanics in TTRPG combat hit different than a fireball to the face, and how player immersion through fear turns even seasoned adventurers into nervous wrecks. Along the way, we'll laugh about sanity systems, cry about saving throws, and prove that nothing bonds a party like collectively screaming at shadows. So sharpen your pencils, stock up on torches, and maybe bring a spare set of trousers—this is Fear Mechanics at its funniest and most frightening. Key Takeaways Fear isn't just for horror RPGs—it's a versatile mechanic that spices up any campaign, from Pathfinder 2e fear rules to homebrew sanity systems. Game masters can use fear to enhance storytelling, creating tension that makes victories sweeter (and failures funnier). Fear effects in TTRPG combat and roleplay can shift strategies, forcing players to think beyond hit points and damage dice. Player immersion through fear mechanics keeps everyone invested, even when nothing is actively trying to eat them… yet. Horror at the table works best when balanced: scary enough to thrill, funny enough to keep people coming back for more. If you enjoyed this remastered dive into fear mechanics in tabletop RPGs, spread the fright—share this episode with your party, whisper it to your GM in the dead of night, and make sure you're subscribed to the RPGBOT.Podcast so you don't miss the rest of Spooktober 2025. The monsters are waiting, and trust us… they're funnier than you think. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast. If you love Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and tabletop RPGs, this is the podcast for you.

Most golfers think new equipment is the answer, but the truth is one lesson can often do more than a $1,000 driver. In this episode, Adam and Jon dig into why so many players struggle to change their swing, the role that concepts and external cues play, and how Adam fixed a 60-yard slice in just a few swings with a simple drill. We also tackle a listener question about match play strateg - how to handle the mental side of competing against a friend and avoid the common traps golfers fall into.

In this episode I sit down with Chris Miller—mechanic-turned “Fatherhood Architect,” coach, and founder of Mechanic's Garage—for a real, practical talk on modern fatherhood. We unpack the chaos and beauty of blended families, why “respect” is earned not assumed, and how dads can design their own blueprint instead of repeating (or rebelling against) their upbringing. Chris shares his “connection before correction” mantra and the three things every kid craves—feeling seen, safe, and heard. The guys dive into boundaries that unite (use we and I, not you), putting marriage first so kids feel the ripple of love, and Chris's killer car analogies: maintain your engine (body), computers (mind), suspension (heart), and fuel system (spirit)—and be a man worthy of “high-octane” love. They close with honest talk on modeling growth, letting kids witness your repairs, and taking the first step: you go first.Key TakeawaysBlended family basics: set roles early with open, ongoing communication.Don't copy or invert your dad—author your own blueprint.Lead with connection, not correction; listen between the words.Kids remember how you made them feel: seen, safe, heard.Protect the marriage: spouse first, kids second—love flows downstream.Do your maintenance: body, mind, heart, spirit—be “high-octane” worthy.Model accountability: apologize, grow out loud, and go first.Tap in for the entire conversation.Guest:Chris “The Mechanic” MillerFounder | Mechanic's GarageCoach | Author | Fatherhood Architectwww.enterthegarage.comHost:Jody SedrickFathers Fire==================Books by Jody SedrickBut How Far Must I Go?

Tendons adapt to training, but the mechanisms are complex. The Berlin Method emphasizes high loads for tendon adaptation. Muscle strength is important, but technique and application matter more. Calf muscles are notoriously difficult to grow in strength. Tendons require time to recover and adapt to training loads. Creep studies on tendons are often conducted in mechanical settings, not in vivo. Tendon strain measurements can vary significantly based on methodology. Individual differences in tendon response necessitate personalized training. Females may experience different tendon adaptations compared to males.

You can have the fanciest training plan in the world—but if you skip the “soft” skills, you're building on shaky ground. This week, Allie and Emily dive into the four soft skills that make everything else work: observation, curiosity, flexibility, and empathy. Along the way, you'll hear about Oso's epic garden-bed heists, why boob pillows aren't just for people, and the heartbreaking moment Miley met a bonsai. It's equal parts practical advice and “oh-my-gosh-same” moments you'll want to share with every pet person you know.TLDL (too long, didn't listen): 1️⃣ Observation – Go beyond surface-level body language and look for subtle environmental and behavioral patterns that tell a deeper story.2️⃣ Curiosity – Ask “why” with openness, make hypotheses, and be okay with being wrong—it's how you get to the real answers.3️⃣ Flexibility & Empathy – Be willing to pivot, simplify, and view the situation from your learner's perspective so everyone's needs get met.For the full episode show notes, including the resources mentioned in this episode, go here.More from Pet HarmonyPet Parents: enrichment ideas and practical behavior tips

How do you fix a fix? Mike, Paul, and Colleen explore STC challenges, including parts, wrong installations, and ADS-B that isn't working. Email podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to get on the show. Join the world's largest aviation community at aopa.org Full notes below: Barat has a Cirrus SR22 with an STC air conditioner. The driveshaft recently broke and he's wondering how to fix it. Some mechanics he's spoken to won't use alternative parts, but others will. Mike said it's not unlike altering the original type certificate. The question is whether your alternative to the supplemental type certificate is major or minor. Mike and Paul agree that it sounds like a minor alteration because the parts are now available from Cirrus, based on the STC that Barat had it installed previously.   Kevin has an LX7 with advanced avionics. A month or so after a trip through the Southwest, he got a letter from the FAA saying his ADS-B wasn't functioning properly. He's wondering how to know whether or not it's working. Mike said he thinks this problem is similar to the transponder question. Even though there's a reg that requires that an installed transponder be on and functioning, there's no way to know if that's the case, other than an ATC report or during a 24-month check. The hosts suggest you could do the same with ADS-B, requesting a report from the FAA on a periodic basis.   Byron has a Cessna 170 that he purchased three years ago. The airplane came with vortex generators that were installed incorrectly. Byron is wondering what he should do next in terms of holding the original installer accountable. The hosts caution him on going to the FAA because they can't investigate halfway. Mike wonders whether the FAA would actually go after the mechanic, since it's not a safety of flight issue. Paul thinks making an honest mistake is usually let off from the FAA with minor infractions.
