The Dungeon Masters – Episode 3: Scott Brown

Jim — Thu, 13 Jul 2017 07:01:12 +0000

In the first episode the series, I sat down to talk with Leo Jenicek of The Pod of Many Casts. This week, I spoke to the DM for that show, Scott Brown, who does an excellent job of keeping up with all the nonsense Leo and the other players pit against him. We talk about Scott’s background with RPGs, and how he handles some truly protean characters while still moving the story forward.

The Dungeon Masters – Episode 1: Leo Jenicek

Jim — Tue, 30 May 2017 07:01:17 +0000

In the first episode of our interview series “The Dungeon Masters,” I sat down to talk with Leo Jenicek of The Pod of Many Casts. I met Leo at GenCon a few years back, and I’ve kept in touch over the years, and thought he’d be an interesting guy to talk to about what it means to be a DM. I was not disappointed.

Leo plays the role of Lord Cornelius Ashe on The Pod of Many Casts, links to which are below. You can also read Leo’s writing at jenicek.org and read his daily D&D inspired haikus at @d_and_dhaiku.

S3E1 – The Lost Mines of Phandelver Pt 1: A Dead Horse Moves Ten Feet Closer To You

Jim — Fri, 12 Feb 2016 08:01:38 +0000

We’re back! Season 3 is here, and we’re playing a new edition of D&D! Change is hard, but I think we’re making it through without too much trouble. For this season, we’re playing “The Lost Mines of Phandelver” a boxed adventure available as part of the D&D 5th Edition Starter Set. The starter set comes with everything you need to play D&D, and I think the adventure that comes with it is a good intro to the new system.

We also added a new member of the podcast family, Derek Krentz, who is an old friend of Aaron’s. I look forward to torturing him as much as I’ve tortured all the rest of the crew!

With the new setting and new season, we have all new characters! They are:

Aaron Buell as Spiznorp, the Halfling Rogue
Eric Helmken as Beryl, Halfling Bard
Sammy Kammy as Sodia Peach, Dragonborn Barbarian
And Introducing Derek Krentz as Ranlay Shortbottom, Gnome Druid

There’s lots of exciting stuff this season, and we’re looking forward to the new system, and a whole new custom campaign, “The Devil’s Due” on the horizon for season 4.

We ended the last episode with Chuck making his saving throw to see if plummets 120 feet to his death. Let’s hope he rolls well!

S2E2 – Legislative Plaza Hotel Pt 2: This Look Comes from the ‘Guys You Tell the Flight Attendants About’ Series

Jim — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 07:01:23 +0000

Quick Warning: The intro to this one is extra long, because I took a few minutes to talk about “Gamergate” and my thoughts on the dickheads that are promulgating it. I also talk quickly about a book, Chicks Dig Gaming: A Celebration of Gaming by the Women Who Love It, which happens to coincidentally deal with the issues women often face when getting involved with games and gaming. You can read my review of it here. If you want to skip it all, you can head to about the 7:36 mark.

In the last episode, we met our new characters, and they set off their first adventure to cleanse the Legislative Plaza Hotel of its restless spirits. We pick up with our heroes headed to the home of one Abraham Alinsky, the lead detective on a case involving the hotel. After talking to Alinsky, we head back to the hotel, where the brave adventurers choose, perhaps unwisely, to make an end run around everything else and head for the biggest baddy. We’ll see how that all works out.

S1E34 – Season 1 Retrospective Part 2

Jim — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 14:38:14 +0000

Update: The intro somehow got all messed up, so I rerecorded it and the new version is up. Sorry to anyone who had their ears damaged by the first version. I still don’t know what happened there, but the new version sounds much better.

In the second half of our Season 1 retrospective, we take a look back at the final 9 episodes of the season, including a rundown of what happened and clips from some of the more important or fun moments. We also talk about our favorite moments from Season 1 and delve into tales of games past. If you’ve been with us from the beginning, this is your chance to relive some of the best moments of Season 1, and if you’re new to the show, this episode and episode 33 should help get you up to speed. In the next episode, we’ll give a quick preview of what’s to come, and then it’s on to Season 2, with all new characters and setting!

S1E33 – Season 1 Retrospective Part 1

Jim — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 07:01:51 +0000

Season 1 is finished! Thirty two episodes, and Kalarel has been stopped, and the Nentir Vale can rest easy for the moment. This episode is a look back at the first 23 episodes of the season, including a rundown of what happened and clips from some of the more important or fun moments. Episode 34 will delve in to episodes 24-32 along with our favorite moments from Season 1 and tales of games past. If you’ve been with us from the beginning, this is your chance to relive some of the best moments of Season 1, and if you’re new to the show, these episodes should help get you up to speed. After the retrospective, we’ll give a quick preview of what’s to come, and then it’s on to Season 2, with all new characters and setting!

Goblin’s Log #2

Jim — Fri, 15 Aug 2014 19:54:58 +0000

A super quick update on what’s going on with the show. I’ve personally been very busy, and on top of that, Sammy’s car has let slip this mortal coil, so we’re doing a lot of ride sharing, so it’s been pretty crazy here. The retrospective episode, which will be coming out next, requires a lot more work than the normal episodes, since this is a clip show, and I have to cut things in to it. I am working on it, but it takes a lot of time, so it’s behind schedule. Stay tuned, though, all the stuff is there, I just need to cut it in, and I hope to have it by the end of next week or beginning of the week after. We’ll have something for you soon!

S1E32 – Tempus is Gonna F*ck Your Corpse

Jim — Wed, 23 Jul 2014 07:01:14 +0000

This is it! The season finale is here, and it all comes down to this moment, the final battle against Kalarel and his minions. We have action, drama, and the return of an old friend. The next episode is going to be a retrospective on Season 1, and then we’ll have a preview of Season 2, a short break, and we’ll be back with more episodes. Roll for initiative!

S1E31 – This is a Lovely Room of Death!

Jim — Thu, 10 Jul 2014 07:01:29 +0000

In the last episode, we resolved the monster explosion as the result of our heroes’ trap. Episode 31 is the penultimate episode of season 1, and our heroes fight their way to the final chamber and their final confrontation with Kalarel, priest of Orcus. We also learned that when Aaron gets nervous, he eats his beard (pic below). Episode 32 is in two weeks, and is the final episode of Season 1. After that, we’ll have a retrospective on Season 1, talk about some of our favorite moments from this season and from previous campaigns, and give a preview of season 2, with all new characters and a new setting.

Aaron Eats His Beard

S1E30 – Wow…Much Fire…Very Dangerous

Jim — Thu, 26 Jun 2014 07:01:35 +0000

Last episode, our heroes tried to get a good night’s rest, but someone else had another idea. This week, we find out who’s come a’knockin’ and there’s a huge explosion. Splug has never been happier.

It’s a short episode this week, but we’re leading in to two long episodes, including the season finale.

S1E29 – If You Survive, You Get Popcorn

Jim — Tue, 10 Jun 2014 07:01:09 +0000

Last episode saw our heroes fighting a Gelatinous Cube, followed by opening a door that triggered some sarcophagi to disgorge their payloads into the room. We pick up in this episode right where we left off, and find out what happened with those sarcophagi.

S1E28 – It Suddenly Got Shiny in Here

Jim — Tue, 27 May 2014 03:44:29 +0000

Update: This time I’ll attach the damn file.

We are back from hiatus! Episode 28 finds the party backtracking, attempting to finish off killing any more hobgoblins that might have been behind them, before attempting to stop Kalarel and save the world from certain destruction. If the world knew that its fate rested on the shoulders of our heroes, the world would probably have a bit more trouble sleeping at night. As it stands, the world has a bit of sleep apnea, but it has it under control.

Goblin’s Log #1

Jim — Fri, 09 May 2014 03:48:03 +0000

It’s a super short hosty (hostfull is copyright Nerdist Industries) episode because Sammy and I are prepping and making projects for ACEN. We haven’t had time to record any new episodes, but I wanted to make sure something got out for this weekend. We talk about what’s happening, and what might happen as things wrap up with the Keep on the Shadowfell, including a possible change of settings. Stick with us, though, we should be back to normal and finish up the current adventure after a quick hiatus.

S1E27 – Mistakes Were Made

Jim — Tue, 22 Apr 2014 00:41:32 +0000

In our last episode, we lost Barnaby to the Feywild. In this episode, after a brief memorial, the party presses forward, deeper into the keep. Mistakes were made!

“If they pull a dick, you pull a bigger dick. That’s the Chicago way!”

S1E26 – It’s Two Guys, A Girl, and That Guy We Kicked Off

Jim — Thu, 10 Apr 2014 01:25:35 +0000

In this week’s episode, a lot of bad choices are made, trust is broken, and a member of the party is lost.

Episode Quotes:

“Yeah, but I didn’t know it was going to do that!”

“Get me a rolled up newspaper…”

“Guys…guys, that was really fucked up.”

“Follow her into the dark, motherfucker!”

“Me and Splug are going on solo adventures.”

S1E25 – Wait!…Can the Goblin Slip on His C*m?

Jim — Thu, 27 Mar 2014 07:01:20 +0000

The Riddle of Steel is solved! With that, the party moves on to the second floor of the Keep on the Shadowfell, and ever closer to Kalarel and his Orcus worshipers. Battle ensues, and a goblin may or may not slip on an owlbear’s ejaculate. That and more in Episode 25!

S1E24 – Hold Me Closer, Tiny Zombie

Jim — Mon, 10 Mar 2014 07:01:35 +0000

Last time we were with our heroes, Barnaby had just failed his jump check and had fallen on a rune. Now we’re going to find out what effect that has, while they fight off a passel of zombies on top of that.

S1E23 – Also, Sparklers

Jim — Mon, 24 Feb 2014 08:01:22 +0000

After defeating a seemingly infinite stream of magically created skeletons, our heroes now find themselves rested, but facing another stream of magically created skeletons. Hopefully, they’ll figure out how to stop them. Also, sparklers!

S1E22 – It’s an Uncircumcised Room

Jim — Thu, 13 Feb 2014 03:09:01 +0000

We’re back to the Keep on the Shadowfell in Episode 22! After a detour to kill the Grinch at the behest of Santa, the party is back in the dark, cave like keep. We leap right back into exploring said keep, which of course means we spend a bunch of time at the beginning talking about anything but D&D, but we do get there, I promise. Also, Sammy draws a dick. That and more in this week’s exciting episode!

S1E21 – 2013 Christmas Special Pt 3:How Gren’Kell Stole Christmas

Jim — Mon, 27 Jan 2014 08:01:02 +0000

The third and final part of the 2013 Chrismas episode is finally here! It only took us until a whole month after Christmas to get through the episode, but here we are! We pick straight up from last time, and the party is about to fight Gren’Kell, a rather large and nasty troll, in an attempt to recover a special item for Mr. Woods. Christmas comes around the longest night of the year, so will our heroes live to see the light of day? Spoiler: Yeah, they will, because otherwise we wouldn’t have a show anymore. We hope it’s exciting, anyway.

S1E20 – 2013 Christmas Special Pt 2: So…Now We Have to Go About the Grisly Work of Slaughtering All the Children

Jim — Tue, 14 Jan 2014 08:01:53 +0000

Part 2 of the 2013 2GAGAAG Christmas Special picks up right were we left off last time, with Immizel attacking a goblin that’s all up in his business. The Christmas Special will be in three parts, with the third part posting in two weeks, so be sure to check back for more jackassery then!

S1E19 – 2013 Christmas Special Pt 1: Ho’Nai Worships James Woods

Jim — Mon, 30 Dec 2013 08:01:59 +0000

This episode is part 1 of the 2013 2GAGAAG Christmas Special. Why is it being released after Christmas? Because we were all sick leading up to Christmas and couldn’t record it until Boxing Day. Despite the illnesses going around, we did persevere, and recorded this little side trek, which I wrote specially for the occasion. This episode picks up right were we left off last time, with the party about to head into a room with sarcophagi lining the walls, but as they’ll soon find out, they won’t make it into that room right away.

S1E18 – You Made A Tactical Mistake, Just Own It.

Jim — Mon, 16 Dec 2013 22:04:51 +0000

When last we were with our heroes, they had just dispatched a nasty Blue Jelly, but Barnaby went down in the process, retreating to the Feywild. This week, the party pauses, takes stock of what’s in the room, and moves on to the door that Splug had been forbidden to enter by Balgron. What will they find on the other side of the door? Hint: It’s more monsters.

S1E17 – Sorry About the Burps

Jim — Mon, 02 Dec 2013 08:01:53 +0000

First thing’s first! Sorry about the burps. Aaron was in rare, disgusting form for this part of the recording, so apologies for the considerable number of beer belches throughout this episode. Not much to be done about them, unfortunately. Now that that’s handled, last week ended on a cliffhanger, and we’re waiting to see if Barnaby makes the jump onto the small island in the dark, fetid water. Sammy needs to roll a minimum of 5 on the d20 to make it. Will Barnaby make it across, or plummet into the filthy water? We’ll find out this week!

S1E16 – About That Thing With The Peanut Butter…

Jim — Tue, 19 Nov 2013 08:01:46 +0000

During last weeks shenanigans, the party encountered a nasty Kruthik infestation. This week, we take on another new monster, but more importantly, we added a new cast member!

S1E15 – A Bucket Full of Diamonds

Jim — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 08:01:25 +0000

Last week, the party encountered RoUS’s and then a nasty Ochre Jelly. This week, we introduce another new enemy for our heroes to deal with. Plus, we’re all kinda tired by this point, and the plot gets lost on multiple occasions. So that’s fun.

S1E14 – Have I Told You That I Hate You?

Jim — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 07:01:54 +0000

Last week, our heroes met the nasty hobgoblin torturer, Immizel got in a steel cage match with a goblin, and we met a new member of the party. This week, Jaeger gets a chance to show what he can do, battling a heretofore unseen foe.

S1E13 – Lock, Stock, and Two Goblins Stacked On Top of Each Other

Jim — Mon, 14 Oct 2013 07:01:38 +0000

Last week, our heroes fought the mighty Balgron, who turned out to be a bit of a chump, when it came right down to it. This week, they’re about to punch their way through a door and into the “torture chamber”. In search of loot, our heroes may instead find a new member of the party…

In last week’s episode, our intrepid heroes had entered a secret passage, which brought them face to face with the dreaded Balgron, an obese goblin of ill repute. We ended the episode with a cliffhanger, as Imizel stepped in and prepared to take a nasty critical hit, saving Ho’nai from almost certain doom. Before Balgron’s attack lands, however, Imizel gets a chance to attack him first, and we pick up with Aaron rolling his attack. Will he hit? How bad will the critical hit be? We’ll find out this week!
