Episode 70: A Frightfully Cheerful Conversation

Summary

Published: January 19, 2026

What if four fellows with different views on horror in their lives and different approaches to humor found themselves in a chatroom to share their experiences with RPGs? Not telling war stories, not pontificating, but instead finding common ground and simple truths – like we do in a good group of gamers. This time, it’s all about horror, comedy, and when someone gets their comedy in your horror or vice versa~

Panel Topic: Running Horror, Comedy, or Comedic Horror – in the moment. In this audio-only version of our frightfully cheerful conversation nothing has been cut or lost, but the video version on YouTube has had some extra details, notes, and ideas added to it which you might appreciate. You can also see all the nodding in that version~

Episode 67: Biting Bullets (with Jason Hobbs)

Summary

Published: December 6, 2025

For this episode, I am joined by the host of the seemingly lapsed Hobbs and Friends, and the sadly sporadic Random Screed, by the Mr. Hobbs of Mr. Hobbs’ Gamerhood: Jason Hobbs. He and I dive into some core elements of his recent foray into game writing with his release ‘Bite the Bullet‘ which you can obtain PWYW on itch.io or DriveThruRPG. The game, a western-themed RPG based on Into the Odd, puts a tight focus on who the character is and what they will do to get what they want. We dig into that, and some of the approaches we might take to playing it in this discussion.

You can watch and listen, rather than just listen to this episode as a video podcast directly on Spotify, and on YouTube.
