BDaB#42 – Dice, Cards, and Other Tools of the Tabletop

We talk about those cool physical game components that we all recognize as the iconic tools of tabletop role-playing. We talk about the tools as well as much of the common lexicon and "inside terms" that permeate modern games, so you too can sound like an expert in nerdy conversations. We also take a special look into Poppy's home-made "Dice Guide" that she made to help her learn which dice were which when she started playing more RPGs.

Also HOO DAMN this one is late to the feed. That one is on me, I've been crazy busy with life and everything else, and am finally (finally!) getting the chance to clear the backlog. Episode 43 is already done and should be out shortly on the trail of this one, too.

BDaB#41 – Classic Board Games

In this episode, we share a lively discussion about the "classic" board games we all grew up with. By "classic" we mean "you could buy these at a big box toy store in the 1990s" kind of board games. These are the games that you probably played a lot with your families before moving on to the geekier and more complicated nerd-games that are all the rage today. We close out with a talk about some of the various "gateway games" that you use to help bridge the gap, or even to replace the classics at the next fa

This is our first ever live stream episode as well! We decided to give it a stream on Twitch about 10 minutes before we actually started, so the stream was a bit rushed, but we all had a lot of fun with is, and we're planning to keep doing it going forward. Check out and follow our Twitch channel (linked below) to watch the next episodes, and you will be able to find a running archive of them as bonus patron-exclusive content on our Patreon page.

I'm happy to finally have (most of) the issues all sorted out, so we can bring you more content! This issue is a bit more free-form than most, as we take some time to dive into the various things we've been doing to keep ourselves sane during this contagion crisis. The audio is not as top quality as we usually strive to bring you, but with a few more tweaks to the setup we're sure to be back in true form in the coming days.

Have you ever wanted to know what it takes to get into a new career as a bartender? Just Jacob and Dr. Xander lead us on an informative look into the basics of what it takes to learn the business, including their own behind-the-bar origin stories. All the while, we drink a variety of Irish Whiskeys that we've not had on the show before, starting with the "worst" of the bunch and working our way deeper into the delicious vaults of aged quality.
