With Xander absent due to illness, the rest of us post-Wagoncon-exhausted folks decided to get drunk on Kalimotxo and break out the ol' D&D Rules Cyclopedia for another Character Jam! We're using my old original print copy for this session, from which I've birthed many awesome gaming memories over the last three decades.

It's our first ever "show on the road" - live from Wagoncon 2018 in The Dalles, we've brought the crew from all of our shows (Have Movies, Will Game and the brand new HAMMERCRAWL! podcast) together for a multi-show celebration!

This time around we are drinking quite a variety of things, but our specific showcase is the 2015 Oregon Mountain Pinot Noir, showcased by our special guest Spencer from the Sunshine Mill winery. For our bike talk segment, we start with a ride report following the devastation of last year's big Eagle Creek Fire, before talking with our guests about their favorite bikes, both past, present, and future. For our game talk, we jam on a variety of topics and tangents, focusing most on the PC Games we love and especially the current favorite, PUBG. In our final segment, we talk in more detail about the delicious wines we've been drinking, and tell about some of the interesting facts of the Sunshine Mill Winery.

Hello everyone and welcome back. Just a heads up that there's a super wee slight bit of voice crackle in the middle segment of this episode, due to a dying cable on the back end that we didn't catch until we took a break. We were able to salvage the recording well enough, and hopefully it isn't too awful! The naughty cable was quickly punished, and has since been replaced.

We open with our drink of the evening: Xander's personal recipe for "The Desert Storm" cocktail, featuring Arak, orange juice, and grenadine. We then fire off our discussions with a pretty passionate conversation about greenways, bike lanes, those confusing "green boxes" around town, and the outright lies that are "Bike-Friendly!" living developments in the infrastructurally-corrupt city of Portland. Hashtag #fuckPBoT! In our nerd-talk segment we discuss the controversy behind "loot crates" in video games. In our bar-talk segment we lament the loss of good bars, and share stories of some of those we miss the most. We close out with some personal talk about the road we've traveled thus far with our podcast, and our feelings toward the future.

Welcome back! This week Dr. Xander Gerrymander was unable to join us, but we're also joined by two guests from our Monday night gaming group, Christina and Mike. They brought delicious whiskey sours with them, made with Rebel Yell Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

In our first segment we talk with our guests about their involvement in and with the Dropout Bike Club, giving insights into Bike Club culture in the Pacific Northwest. We also speak at length about Portland's legendary event Zoo Bomb (which you can see more about in the Veer Documentary). In the gaming segment we talk about Dark Age of Camelot, Star Wars Galaxies, and our other favorite Massively-Multiplayer Role-Playing Games from yesteryear, as well as what kind of drive it takes to be an awesome guild master in such a social scene. We close out with insights into and stories from the life of a worker in the "back of the house" of bars and dives and more.

We're back with another awesome Character Jam bonus episode! This time we attempt to make characters for the complete exercise in hilarious frustration that is everyone's favorite hand-written RPG, Human Occupied Landfill (HoL). Join us on a hilarious ride through our misery as we jam out a pair of "heroes" for the late 90s post-Vampire middle finger of a game that is HoL. We are now forever scarred, and you can be too!

Today we are again joined by Poppy as we talk about some rather passionate subjects! We open by uncorking a fine bottle of Tears of Vulcan wine, and discussing our experiences with wine in general. For our Talk of the Road, we get pretty heavy on the subject of Helmet laws and responsibilities, before diving into the experiences of being a Total Noob at the role-playing game table. the final portion of the show is devoted to our thoughts on the Tears of Vulcan after an evening of drinking it, and even more discussion on our various loves (or distastes) of wine of all price ranges.

My apologies for a bit of sound weirdness on this one. I re-cabled the entire studio immediately before we sat down to record this episode, and remembered to re-check all the mic levels except my own. As such my voice comes through a little quieter than the rest at times, but it's still quite listenable, so hopefully you audiophiles in our audience will forgive me this one time!

Welcome to our first episode of BDaB Character Jam! This is the first of a planned series of bonus content for the Bikers, Dice, and Bars podcast! In these episodes we break out various tabletop role-playing game and get hands-on with their character creation processes. We record these after our main show sessions, so we're all usually pretty sauced by the time the game hits the table, which means that our filters are almost nonexistent. For this first episode, we are making characters for the popular "new old school" role-playing game, Dungeon Crawl Classics! And joining us this time is our good friend, Poppy Beaujolais, who we expect to hear more from in the coming weeks.

Our third episode of our brand new show is live! In this episode we start with a pretty passionate discussion about the "Motorcycle Wave" and what it means to us. Following that we discuss our experiences with the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG, and Xander tells us about an awesome video game called Life is Strange. We close out the show with an in depth guide on how to get the most bang for your buck when drinking at a dive bar. This episode rounds out our three-episode launch day bracket, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording!

Hello friends, we're back for an exciting second episode, hooray! This time around our new drink of the evening is the "uncertain enjoyment" of the Crownberry. After managing to somehow stomach this bizarre concoction, we talk about perceptions of cyclists in our town pf PDX and beyond. In the nerd section we discuss two upcoming conventions here in the Pacific Northwest that we are all pretty excited about. We close out with discussions of our favorite local dive bars, and the different features that we each feel are required for a bar to be rightfully bestowed that label. Oh, and Dr. Gerrymander has some "choice words" for JJ's character somewhere in the mix...
