Intrepid Heroes 126 – Wait! There’s More!

This episode starts with a delightful segment in which Ron plays a series of infomercial hypesters. He’s very good at it. I would have a closet full of Shamwows and Slapchops if Ron was selling them.

Doug Levandowski and Yeonsoo Julian Kim describe their co-design, Home, as an RPG, but I’m not sure that’s the right fit. It certainly sounded fascinating, and I’d love to try it, particularly with Cathy.

Eldritch Excursion – A Half Century Strong

Essential Builds – Indiana Jones
By Ryan Costello

I’ve been thinking about this build for a few months.

But with reviews being mixed in both cases, my mistiming probably didn’t hurt readership.

Ryan Costello

What started as one gamer wanting to talk about his love of a game grew into a podcast network. Ryan founded what would become the Know Direction Podcast network with Jason "Jay" Dubsky, his friend and fellow 3.5 enthusiast. They and their game group moved on to Pathfinder, and the Know Direction podcast network was born. Now married and a father, Ryan continues to serve the network as the director of logistics and co-host of Upshift podcast, dedicated to the Essence20 RPG system he writes for and helped design. You can find out more about Ryan and the history of the network in this episode of Presenting: http://knowdirectionpodcast.com/2021/01/presenting-ryan-costello/
