SoD #52 is up!

[Lord Nikon]

So I am curious why so little (if any) coverage of NTRPGCon? I was expecting a lot of "what happened". Details of games you played with old school folks like Frank or or Kask... or anyone else.

I only ask because just the one day I showed up and played with Tim Kask was a pretty enlightening experience for me. Playing under someone with that old style is so different than I am used too.

Was just hoping you guys would go into some details of your experiences and hear about the games you played in and how they went.

Enjoyed the show, glad to hear Chrispy again. Gratz to Michael on taking over host seat!

I thought we talked about it. I mean it's a local con, so not everyone cares as if it was Origins, Paizocon or gencon.

[Chrispy]

I thought I was a regular host already (I've been on the show for 2 years now) I just some(a lot of)times have to miss it because we start recording at 10am. There was a streak where I was on regularly, and I would like to do that more with our recording schedule.

(I also missed a bunch of shows because I moved and then didn't have my desktop for about another two months)
(It's been rectified now, but it took awhile.)
(I mean, I'd like to make every show in the future, it's an enjoyable part of my weekend and I look forward to it.)
(Is this parentheses joke getting old yet? Personally, the joke of continuous post-scripts getting longer and longer and drawing more attention to the meta-joke of the post-scrip is hilarious, but humour is subjective.)
(But yeah, I've committed a considerable amount of time to the show, I would hardly think of myself as a guest host at this point.)
(More akin to a step-brother the podcast only sees on weekends. Even..though we record on weekends. I guess it's not a perfect metaphor. but "a step-brother the podcast only sees an average of 1.5 times every three to five weeks" is a bit cumbersome.)
(This whole weird joke is still funny to me.)

You've been considered a regular host.

Maybe as a matter of size or age NTRPG can't compare with those other cons, but it has always come across to me as a first class OSR convention and that is a big deal to many of us.

Lol...my apologies Chrispy...you are more than a guest host in my book. Perhaps a better term would be in order: Part-time regular host? Semi-attending host? Host with the most...of the time? I do really enjoy what you and the rest of the hosts bring to the podcast...lots of varied perspectives.

Maybe as a matter of size or age NTRPG can't compare with those other cons, but it has always come across to me as a first class OSR convention and that is a big deal to many of us.

And some of the people that were there are hugely influential folks. Like Frank Mentzer, Tim Kask, Jeff Dee, Erol Otus and Zeb Cook to name a few.

You might be surprised how someone would enjoy listening to a player talk about their experiences playing a game under one of these legends. Or just meeting them. Lotta folks could not make it and I am sure they would enjoy hearing what went on.

I had a great time and next year I think I am going to just get a room for the duration and stay. I have only been to a few cons in my life (3?) but I think this one has hooked me. Helps that it is just down the street from where I live as well

[Lord Nikon]

Sorry Guys we didn't mean to let you down. I thought we summed it up well.

[DMMike]

Well, I've never been to GenCon (since 2000 haven't really wanted to) but I've been to Origins and while in size NTXRPGCon isn't in the same league I had (and continue to have) more fun at NTX. Like someone on DF said, its big enough to get in as much gaming as you want yet small enough that you can see regular friendly faces. Not to mention speak to some of the gaming luminaries without having to pay cash and stand in line with a number.

About the only other gaming cons I have any interest in attending other than NTX stuff is GaryCon and perhaps Coast Con...though the last is pure nostalgia on my part.

To make up for it Celestian, ep 53 we'll skip emails that show and do a NTXRPG review up right.

Like life, good with the bad I guess...I'm glad that Chrispy is back but sad that Vince is stepping away from SOD.

Keep up the good work. You guys do alot for the OSR community and its appreciated!

May the hair on your feet never fall out!

[Angry Monk]

Yes, I've already expressed my sadness of less Vince, but I'm glad we'll hear more Mike, Liz, Glen & Chrispy.

[dredstar]

awesome show, as usual.

one question, that I really need answered, however. Have searched through saveordie web site, and cant find. I am sure I am just really stupid or something, so I have to ask.

Where do you put the show notes for each episode?

Just can't find them.....
