PODCAST

Minions and Musings

Herein I will talk about RPG gaming with my kids, gaming online, even Play-by-Mail/Post. While I call myself a gamer, I have a love for the older games or OSR-style, if you will. I may even have a minion or two help with the discussion as well. Enjoy!

So we started the campaign... or, a thought on why BX...

Minions and Musings ·

2021/04/04

Wherein I talk about some of the issues I had in starting up the game with the minions. Also, I've got a thought on why B/X is different from AD&D. It was an interesting step of thoughts that got me there. Also, going to probably put the podcast on a bit of hiatus while the work schedule and demands dictates that I focus on that for the next several months. Will still sneak out an episode here and there. --- Send in a voice message:

Appendix N correction

Minions and Musings ·

2021/03/12

So, I get this message from Arlen Walker and he says something that makes me wonder why I said a particular thing. So, I decided to double check then make a quick podcast to correct it.

You heard me. Quit hiding behind this small list as if it's a sacred cow. There are much better lists out there. In fact, I decided to talk about one today. And, to make it better, I've got a special guest to talk about the better lists to use and some of our favorites. Also, sorry for my recorded sound, I need to start looking at a new recording method for my PC. Thanks to Ray Otus for joining me today. Want to leave me a message?

Evil Jeff's story time: Review for "Of Dice and Men"...

Minions and Musings ·

2021/01/29

Today's podcast is a quick book review of the book "Of Dice and Men" by David Ewalt. David is a reporter for Forbes magazine and a RPGer at his core. Like many people, he played when younger, stopped playing for a while, then came back to the hobby and hasn't stopped (from what I can tell). So, listen in and let me give you my impressions of this book. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/eviljeff/message

Call in Collective - Corrections and Clean-up

Minions and Musings ·

2021/01/18

Wherein I receive calls from Joe at Hindsightless and Che at Roleplay Rescue and comment back on them. I do clear up/correct my stance as previously stated. The back half is a small bit of what I've been doing and upcoming podcasts. I figure that I could let you know what may occur so you can either run for the hills or wait with baited breath. I never know how listeners may react.... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/eviljeff/message

Call in Collective - Add/Subtract, take 2

Minions and Musings ·

2020/12/21

A continuation of the previous podcast on how much adding or subtracting to an existing RPG can one do before they should be playing a different RPG. Suffice it to say that there is no resolution here but more good ideas and thoughts from Jason of the Nerd's RPG Variety Cast and Che Webster from Roleplay Rescue. Is there a resolution to be had?

Call in Collective - Add/Subtract

Minions and Musings ·

2020/11/15

Calls from Jason (Nerd's RPG Variety Cast), Che Webster (Roleplay Rescue), and Rob C. (Down in a Heap). They help me as we dive a bit more into how much can you add to a RPG before you should go find the one that has everything you are adding. We also take a quick look at subtracting from a RPG and thoughts on it. Thanks to these three for helping the discussion along. Anyone else have some thoughts?

The BX Options Class Builder example worksheet.

Minions and Musings ·

2020/10/03

I do an average job of going through an already built class to see if it lines up with the XP requirements that one should expect in a BX game with the listed abilities of the class. Then I get to rambling on more about the classes in Pacesetter's BX Remastered book as it related to the Class Builder book. Maybe I need help to just let go of how I feel about that product.....

Minions and Musings ·

2020/09/08

Wherein I muse a bit about skills and why are they even in our RPGs. I further muse on what type of player and GM need/want skills in their game. Not the most coherent musing but you get what you pay for, right? Thanks to Che from Roleplay Rescue for the call-in and motivation to put out another episode. Catch Che on his podcast: https://anchor.fm/rpgrescue/ Thanks go out to Rob C of the Down in a Heap podcast for his back catalog that sparked this train of thought. Go spend some time there, won't

Dwarves and Elves are not heroes.... or, what I read...

Minions and Musings ·

2020/07/17

Reading the Hobbit to the Minions, I came across a passage that has me feeling that many people playing RPGs are making the demi-humans more heroic than they were intended. Should a GM be a bit more strict in how these dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, and other demi-humans are played? There it is. Discuss. Also, Jason calls in and I try to respond. Not sure how well that part went, you be the judge. Music: "Monster" by Skillet --- Send in a voice message:

Minions and Musings ·

2020/06/28

Wherein I get Minion Bravo to assist with a physical test of distance over time. I raise an issue with movement and time in D&D and we do an experiment to help us both see if the rules hold up or trip before they get to the finish line. Afterwards, some discussion about the results and how they can relate to our games. And yes, I did have to edit out one of the Minion's name in the recording. Want to leave a message?

So, I continue with my commentary on the gaming etiquette document from 1991. Then, instead of answering some call-ins, I actually got Minion Bravo to step up and give his viewpoint on it. You will also get a funny story from his game mastering past. I think I'm getting the hang of this podcast again. Want to leave me a message?
