That’s Not New

That’s Not New

By Phil Viverito

I’m trying something new with These Old Games, which I have to tell you, is very different.

I’ve always loved revisiting old games and trying to play them differently.

Episode 004 - Change, Kobolds, and Mrs. Todd

In this episode, I ramble unscripted. It's all cover in part one and two: Beginnings and Change. I muddle my way through 3 different kinds of Kobolds in my campaigns and then I swerve to Mrs. Todd's Shortcut.

Episode 002 - I Chose Poorly and De Ut Des

This episode has a format change base on feedback I've received. I have a new sponsor, Anchor.FM and the format now supports the concept of sponsors. I also have some new music so let's all give thanks to Kevin MacLeod at incompetech.com for the following tracks:

In this episode, I reminisce about 4 games: D&D, Star Frontiers, Gemstone IV and Traveller.  I cover 35+ years of gaming experiences in one podcast. Part of the reason I have been offline for so long was a mash up of getting my lesson plans online for students, my classes at Buffalo State suddenly switching to an online format and the associate PITA from taking finals online.

I hope this format works better than Episode 001 and 000's. It was a pain to record, mostly owing to my new Pod-cat, Shinobu. She's cute even while she climbs the cables.

Title says it all, come on over to the dark side and take a listen as to why. 

While you are processing that, let me tell you about the music. It is a track called Sovereign by Kevin MacLeod, available through the Creative Commons License.
