A little bit of a happy episode this week.  Since Avin and I have been talking about how different gaming companies are approaching a changing business model in video games this time we talk about Nintendo.  Enjoy.

Gaming with Grief Episode 261-What's up Nintendo?

We've moved the episodes to Mondays now.  And once a week.

After the PC's defeated King Sarlamir, they debriefed with King Bakaris and Trinity of The Knights of Solamnia.  Trinity gives everyone two days of R&R for everything they have done.

Avin and I talk about the third parties that are running for office in the 2024 election. Hopefully, you find of this info enlightening. Maybe you’ll go look some of these people up and make up your own mind.

The Grief of Politics Episode 44-Third Party Candidates in 2024

Episodes hit on Monday 7am of every week.

Sometimes just sometimes you have to check in with your players and make sure that they are actually having a good time.  You know, the one reason everyone is doing this is the first place.  It was pretty neat to hear feedback though especially from the new players like Christian and Feyd.

Sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses.  For the PC's this means getting armor, and talking to their mentor, as well as trying to track down someone who left a letter asking for help.  Also, there were some croissants in there somewhere.  So at least some actual rest.  Kind of.

TTE Ep. 36 DRAGONLANCE Part 27-The R and R Episode

My wife and I played the new ttrpg The Secret World based on the video-game by Funcom.  The 5e compatible role-playing game was made by Star Anvil Studios.  The kickstarted funded and I was a backer, I got all the stuff and I really wanted to play it.

I've been out of town a bit so I bought a book called A Life Well Lived by Cubicle 7 to flesh out some of the backgrounds for the characters.  It may be the middle of the module, but the players never really gave me a lot of info on where their characters came from.  This isn't a sponsored video, but huge shout out to the Glass Cannon Network for showing this off.  So enjoy me giving Swami a background.

TTE Ep. 37 DRAGONLANCE Part 28-The Way We Are Now(Backgrounds)

It's time to put to bed my thoughts on Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden.  A game, I can't stop playing.  The team at Don't Nod deserves a lot more credit then I think their getting.

The group was around for O'Grady to get a background from A Life Well Lived from Cubicle 7.  I really love this book.  This isn't sponsored, I just want to share the love.

With it in the news and after the debate Avin and I had to talk about it.  I think both of us were pretty mad about it.

The Grief of Politics Episode 45-Misinformation

So, after you hear about terrible information like maybe you have to spend time in the desert to stop the Dragon Queen, sometimes just sometimes, you have to hang out and have kabobs.  You may spend money on magic crystals too.  Just saying, some days go like that.

TTE Ep. 39 Dragonlance Part 30-The Night Market

Between 2016-2020 I experienced an amazing amount of grief.  I love games, all sorts games.  Card, board, and video games.  I try to examine them from a perspective of how they deal with grief and how that is articulated in the game itself.
