More of the on-going discussion regarding my hatred of 5e. Yep, despite all of you telling me it's awesome, I still know deep down, it sucks. ;-)

In which I publish a crybabies call in because I got tired of hearing him cry about why I had not done so. Hopefully I have finished up with a discussion on BX... but I doubt it.

Wherein we discuss the dumb BX progression system, compared to the smooth progression presented in OD&D or WhiteBox.

Wherein we listen to 3 call ins regarding my straightforward discussion of 5e and become enlightened with Jason's eloquent reasons why he dislikes 5e.

NSFW I talk about 5e... and curse more than a few times. This is all Colin's fault.

Say It isn't so! I take a quick look at something that's been bothering me and dancing around the back of my head about B/X for months! Tell me I'm wrong!

Spikepit gives me a call in with his thoughts on the black hat game I am running where he is a player.

A handful of Call-ins and my quick replies.

The excellent Ray Otus calls in with some additional (and better) thoughts on gaming when the GM gets no dice.

In which I reply to a Colin from James Shields and discuss what I see as player responsibility and player prep for a game.

I discuss why I feel The Black Hack is conducive to easy prep and easy GMing.

Just a quick update as to why I haven't been podcasting, what I've been doing, and why I still love The Black Hack

Our work is not sacred.

I take a look at the Hirelings & Retainers rules in the Black Hack, and I get a call-in from my favorite person on the internet.

I take a look at two rules in The Black Hack, and one call-in.

I take a look at my initial thoughts, why I did not run this game before, and why I really ended up enjoying and liking the game after running two sessions with it.

I play a couple call-ins and discuss, finishing up my talk about players prep for the game compared to what the GM does.

I respond to about half of calI-ins I received....and almost keep it under six minutes.

Wherein I already fail to keep it short....I reply to a few call-ins we had about the last episode and then I make a statement about gamemaster versus player buy-in at the table.  Do players invest in the games their friends are running for them? I say no, prove me wrong. 

Quick thoughts on race in games and the mechanical benefits. Do we really need them?
