Friend of the show Randy from Biggus Geekus sits in for the whole show, and the guys just shoot the breeze. Everything from the current schism in our end of the hobby to milkshakes occupy the discussion. Plus, evil, nasty talk, about the existence of "differences of opinion" and filthy 13th Age "story gamers" like Randy are among the banter. We still like Randy, and he still likes us. Go figure. The show went long, so stay tuned for a follow-up Nano to be released this Saturday! The News: Waffle House, you had us at "smothered" The Last of Us Board Game Preorders are Up Cocaine.... Owlbear?

This week, we welcome The RPGPundit to the show -- for the full hour, plus some! Pundit discusses the OSR, from it's history and philosophy to its current representation and how growth and an influx of personalities has affected its identity. Also, the anti-OSR movement, the BrOSR are examined, including where, when, and why this counterculture came to be. Political trappings of a philosophical "leader" of the anti-OSR group are also scrutinized. Pundit explains the danger embracing this movement can bring if one wears blinders regarding questionable racial pre-dispositions of the spokesman. The conversation wraps up with RD looking to the future; asking RPGPundit's predictions and perspective about the path yet travelled.

Things return to normal for the gang as Kyle rebounds from his stint without power in time to talk about D&D and TTRPG Dungeon Crafting. As usual, the boys get sidetracked and throw in a little "DM Screen?" talk before the news. After this week's noteworthy morsels, the conversation turns to app-based board games and if they are a boon or bane to the scene. A fun week of nerdy talk! The News: "Mr. Boddy's Body, It's Gone!"

Mother Nature has sidelined Kyle, so our friend and YouTube sensation Diversity & Dragons sits in as co-host! Appropriately, the gang discusses the big news of Ryan being named the third host of Inappropriate Characters; he gets DD's blessing and words of wisdom.

Another week of nerdy chatter begins with RD apologizing for rattling cages... not! The guys clarify and reinforce their thoughts on the users and abusers "in the OSR" before digging into a review of the Dead by Daylight board game. The news featuring Critical Role Zelda (!?!) is cut short as the boys would rather talk about obscure horror flicks and then run through Red Oaks Gaming's Spirals RPG offering, "Creepy Creature Double Feature." --- Buy CCDF: https://redoakscreative.itch.io/creepy-creature-double-feature --- The News: Ryan loses his mind over that Critical Role Zelda RPG --- Episode Sponsors and Affiliates: Shop Amazon and Support the Show: https://amzn.to/3djotja *We earn a small commissionfor each purchase at no additional cost to you!

Ryan and Bert kick off the show with a heartfelt welcome to Kyle (you know him as @DyingBreedTT), our new co-host on Nerdcognito! The trio then play the "let's make a new character" game, with a twist. Then the guys dive deep into the tumultuous state of the OSR, specifically talking about infighting and angst from a growing segment of creators and influencers that are prostituting the hobby for clicks and cash. Lastly, the news wraps the show and our review is bumped to next week. Hint: CCDF. --- The News: Carpenter Sequel Tease #FightingFantasy Renaissance Paizo: "#Drow, you're out!"
