Download this episode (right click and save) It’s an emergency bonus episode due to illness and holiday stress, but an interesting topic: Joseph as a gameable figure! (Listen to find out which Joseph, naturally.)
Just when I thought I was done thinking about the moral universe of this setting, I ran into the music video for Light Me Up by Kobra and the Lotus and watching that, I realized I had a few last details I wanted to cover before moving on. (There’s a […]
Our Weekend Reading series (brought to you by our Patreon backers) continues with a curated selection of articles—and a few other things—from around the Internet that interested us this week! We’re currently on an every-other-week schedule. Peter With Christmas coming up in just a few days, I figured I’d share two of my […]
This is a work of short fiction I wrote back in 2013 for the Sojourn anthology. Thanks to the extremely-generous terms of that anthology’s publishing agreement, the full rights have reverted back to me, and so I am pleased to present this to you as part of the Christmas season. […]

Jenny I recently discovered a lovely board gaming blog called Meeple Like Us. This blog is a review blog in two respects. When they review a game, they don’t just talk about game mechanics, or how fun it is. They also talk about how physically, mentally, and socially accessible the […]
Two quick notes: First, a bit of credit where credit is due.. One of my oldest friends is a PhD-in-training, specializing in the Holocaust. He helped me avoid an ill-advised analogy by tracking down some German-language resources about some obscure WWII events and one of the figures associated with them. […]
Download this episode (right click and save) We’re back with our angriest, most rant-filled episode yet! Well, not really—but there’s a lot of passion in this episode, because we’re talking about GMing traditions the gaming community still seems to support despite being destructive, uncomfortable, and simply wrong.
