This week, we talk about our personal gaming evolutions. From the very beginnings when we first started, what we learned and how it screwed us up. Then we move to our "adolescence" and into "maturity. The idea is to take stock of how we became the gamers we are, what we've gotten out of it, and what we're still hoping to explore.

Tangent #6: The Con Vs. The Living Room

This is our first "movie talk" episode. We ask each other a few pointed questions about movies, what they mean to us, and share some pretty personal stuff in the process. The art we love helps expose who we are to both ourselves and to others, and we think that's pretty beautiful.

Tangent #4: Combat Jitters

This week we talk about reluctance and anxiety about running games, especially as a new GM. IThis nervousness never goes away, though, as Chris and Tracy attest. We talk about Dot's experiences with her first few games, and offer words of encouragement to those who feel that beautiful desire to share their love of gaming as a GM, but are paralyzed by fear and anxiety that they won't be "good enough."

Tangent #3: The Reluctant GM

In our second episode we dive right into some of the amazing and not-so-obvious aspects of the Savage Worlds core mechanic. We explore running entire game sessions with only basic skill rolls, and talk about each of our introductions to the system (spoilers: it didn't initially click for Tracy!). This is an episode that should open the minds of both Savage Worlds beginners and seasoned GMs alike. WARNING this one gets a little spicy right out of the gate, hence the explicit tag...

Problem #40: Fulfillment

Kristian and Tracy are back for a few encore episodes due to requests from the community!  It's only temporary, but we thought we'd record a couple more to go more in depth about the crowdfunding and publishing process. This episode is about offset printing. What is it, why you might want to do it, and how the process of getting it done works.  It's a long episode, but we think its an informative one.
