Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.

I am freshly back from Gen Con 2026, and exhausted! I had a great time though and I decided to do things a little different this time - I brought along a road mic with me and my friend Marc and I reconvened at the end of each day to debrief and go over the days events and impressions we had. This week I have presented all those recordings spliced them together into a sort of live journal. At the end I provide my overall report card for this year's Gen Con, so tune in to hear our live recounting of the show and my overall impression after all is said and done.

Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!

Dungeons and Dragons was a huge moment in gaming back in 1974, and its popularity bled into the fledgling video game industry very early on. Today, so much of what we see of in video games is owed to the influence of D&D. Hit points/life bars, levelling up, character statistics, all these elements came from D&D are can be seen in many different video game genres, not just RPGs. I wanted to provide my top 5 list of the best officially licensed D&D video games to date. There are a ton of official D&D video games to choose from, so tune in to hear what my current top 5 are, as well as an added bonus list of top 5 games that are D&D inspired or adjacent.

This episode is going live on the first day of Gen Con! I decided to do an episode talking about its overall history and the impact it has had on the TTRPG industry. It has grown in much the same way that D&D grew from it's inception - they both started out as a small niche shared passion project, and grow almost uncontrollably over the years and is now one of the biggest gaming cultural touchstones in North America. Tune in to hear about the history of Gen Con and some of my own personal memories of the convention over the years.
