Carl D - The Worlds Most Consistently OK Game Master

THIS EPISODE WILL BLOW YOUR SOCKS OFF! In this episode I chat with Carl D. A man of mystery who states that “he’s on a mission to become the world’s most consistently OK Game Master”. What does that mean ? Listen and find out! The fact of the matter is that Carl D. is a good friend and Dungeon Plunger Discord moderator. Over the past year and a half we have gamed online together with another bunch of great people. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to experience a wide variety of games that I never would have played if not for Carl taking up the reins to prep and run these games for us. In this episode we talk about how he got into RPGs, our mutual love of Star Wars, the OSR, his blog Transorbital Game Pit, Total Party Kills, running play-by-post games and his love for Free League Publishing! That’s a lot of quality content. Listen to it, live it and you too can be like Carl D. Oh and Carl’s dad was originally from Canada, so that makes Carl like a half Canadian or something!

A Chat with Chaosium's Community Manager Bridgett Jeffries

In this episode I have a fantastic chat with Bridgett Jeffries, Chaosium's Community Manager, co-host of the Miskatonic University Podcast, founder of Symphony Entertainment and all around an outspoken and vivacious spirit in the RPG community. We talked about how her love of gabbing and a trip to detention in high school would change her life forever. We also chat about her love of horror games, her involvement in a variety of actual play podcasts, her involvement in a Vampire the Masquerade LARP and how she overcame the challenges of being a champion of Call of Cthulhu, especially as a person of colour and the bigotry of H.P. Lovecraft. Of course we talked about a lot more, so dive in and listen to the whole thing! Your ears and soul will thank you. Plungers Up!
