Having spent quite a few episodes now revisiting and developing my own return to a more coherent practice with roleplaying games, I thought I would make a brief pitstop and talk about the Roleplay Rescue community. The community is the life-blood of this podcast. Without it, I would be alone and isolated. I would possibly have stopped playing, but even if I was playing it would be alone - my home group died with the first lockdown in 2020 and has not recovered. Friends who gathered at my table are all scattered, some to other parts of the country. There's a lot of goodwill and support for Roleplay Rescue, despite us being a small fish in a vast ocean of tabletop roleplaying games chatter and content.Massive thanks to Justin, Jason, Barry, Frank, Menion aka Rob, and Xenoris for the call ins and messages.

Joe, Spencer, Menion, Pink Phantom and Jason were all kind enough to answer my question about why people might not like building churches. That, and a very, very special unboxing make this one super cool episode! Nobody mentions churches in this episode, but that autocorrect made me chuckle, So I kept it.

Today we're talking about one of my favorite things; books! I recently went to a live reading of one of the world's greatest pieces of literature and I want to share that experience with you, my dear listeners. Then, Barney's back and he's talking Conan, and the ills of narratives. Lastly, we have three callers discussing the new Tolkien book, Fall of Numenor. Jason, Spike Pit, and Rob aka Menion answered my request for folks to share their thoughts about this new Middle Earth tome, and these three handsome devils did just that. This one is a real banger!
Rob, aka Menion, starts us off with his thoughts on Conan, and the futility of trying to sum up humanity in a single story. That leads us perfectly into some very interesting discussions on human-kind's forgotten past, ancient Egypt, humanities ancestors, and much more. Karl, Joe, aka the Raven God, Jason, and Anthony, aka Runeslinger, each have super cool thoughts on those fascinating subjects, and I want to share their thoughts with you!
Dan gets us warmed up with a riveting furniture story (7:35 to skip).

Today I have session recaps for the last Wrath of the Righteous game I ran and a Rules Cyclopedia game in which I played. I also have some calls from folks yelling at me (not really) about the original TSR D&D games obviously being part of the OSR, and a couple calls from folks that don't think so. It's a fun episode for sure! Gaze in wonder at this cavalcade of coolness, this avalanche of awesomeness, this lineup of absolute legends that blessed me with their voices: Spencer, Taylor, Pink Phantom, Jason, Goblin's Henchman, and Menion aka Rob

Brian's back and badder than ever! That's right, the host of the Have to Look That Up podcast and Jason of the Nerds (we'll talk about Nerds later on) RPG Variety Cast both left me interesting messages about the Good Society RPG. Then Karl, Menion, and Jason talk nice protection, or do they? Fear not, Mr. Henchman gets us back on task and refocuses the conversation. I also talk briefly about one of my early forays into fantasy writing. Intrigued? Check it out!

Logan Howard of Swordbreaker sings the opening theme Jason of the Nerd's RPG Variety Podcast says "% under ability" Menion aka Rob of Confessions of a Wee Timorous Bushi says "3d6 or more, roll under ability" Goblin's Henchman talks about the "genius roll" of "3d6 or more, roll under ability" - his blog article is here. Andrew Walter says "x in 6" but considering ability in setting difficulty Daniel of Bandit's Keep says "for things anyone can try, look to other mechanics; for special skills don't allow non-specialized characters to roll" (Quote marks in notes denote my paraphrasing, not actual quotes.

It's my 300th episode, so what better time to talk about death? Today we're talking Death Trap Dungeon and character death. More specifically, the rules for provisions in the Fighting Fantasy books and the decision I made that did *not* end up with a dead PC. I also have a brand new caller to the show! That's right, the Pink Phantom stops by to talk party balance and chill us all out with his smooth Southern drawl. I also have calls from some of Anchor's illuminates; such as Taylor the ring mail wearing cleric, John Allen Large, Menion aka Rob, Karl Rodriguez, and Jason Conerly.

What's our role in this roleplaying game? How do we fit into the team? And what kind of expectations am I holding for the group? Talking about the struggles I face in coming up with decent character ideas - in finding my role at the table - as well as reflecting on the nature of the roleplaying group as a team.
