Keep off the BorderlandsFun With Categories and a Little Congestion (episode 185)I finally get around to replacing my copy of Titan: The Fighting Fantasy World. I answer calls from Safer Fantasy Crafting, B.J. of The Arcane Alienist, Joe Richter of Hindsightless, Karl Rodriguez of The GMologist Presents..., Barney Dicker of Loco Ludus and Jason Connerley of Nerd's RPG Variety Cast. Following the praise of my talented co-host from the last couple of episodes, I contemplate GMing, share my interest in Into The Odd Remastered Kickstarter and Trickster's Net, consider the categorisation of players and gaming styles, and talk about a few other podcasts I've been listening to.

Given that he's the son of the founder of Dungeons & Dragons, we felt like his words hold weight and deserve to be analyzed.
Inspired by his recent appearance on "Live From the Bunker" (Episode 277: The Return of TSR Games) and some of the comments he made, Gretchen, Rob, and Amanda decided to get all judge-y.

This special episode of RPGs & Baby Makes 3 is most certainly not family friendly, as we invited Jeremy Childrey of Gordinaak Games on to the show to talk about his most recent project, "Cocaine & Alligators: A Florida Man Sphere," for use with the Troika! RPG!
The conversation also veered into the other games that he's made, including the highly successfully Zinequest 3 project "Gordinaak," a complete setting for the Mothership RPG, as well as a project he termed "the literal worst adventure ever written."
Plus, we talked our kids and poop.

We then got into the use of battle maps versus theatre of the mind, touching on the broader discussion of using imagination and what impacts immersion.
Finally, the three of us discussed subversive characters, a topic brought on by Gretchen's recent diabolical turn during a one-off of the Mothership RPG.
