Episode 11 Levi Combs and The Arduin Grimoire

Despite a few bits of audio static here and there, you get to sit in with Levi Combs and hear about some of Planet X's products new and old, some straight-shootin' advice on small publishing, and for our "This Ol' Dungeon" piece we talk about a true foundational piece of fantasy role playing, The Arduin Grimoires by David Hargrave.  I had a blast getting to hang with Levi for a night -I hope you enjoy being there with us.

Episode 8 Part Deux (Queen of the Demon Web Pits)

In this 2nd part of Episode 8, we cover 2 quick pieces of listener mail and finally get into the famed "Q1: Queen of the Demon Web Pits."  There are a few great "renovations" that shake out as we discuss how to make it a little more "playable," and we do a Geek Credit segment where the Wedded-Duo take on Luau Lou's random spider-related questions...

Episode 8: Part Uno

Despite preparing for a grand discussion on "Q1: Queen of the Demon Web Pits," our long hiatus has weighed us down with lots of listener mail -full of great questions about RPG styles, terms, and a personal favorite: monster encounters!  So, we cut this recording as part 1 and will return soon with our This Ol' Dungeon treatment of Q1...  In the mean time send us more mail!!!!  Write to "thisoldungeon@gmail.com" or catch us on our Facebook page.

Episode 6: Drums on Fire Mountain

Thomas and Briggy are back!  We have a lengthy discussion about this old D&D Expert module -including asking the question, 'How do you get rid of the 900 pound racist gorilla in the room?"  when it comes to this module's representation of Pygmy-style peoples.  -But don't worry, we keep it mostly lighthearted.
