Merry Christmas! If you are downloading this episode the day it goes live, then Merry Christmas indeed, as it is Christmas Day! This episode is a bit shorter than normal as I wanted to focus on Christmas, and I imagine most people won't be spending a lot of time listening to podcasts today. For this special Christmas episode I decided to share what TTRPG stuff I had put on my Christmas list. The list is a safe list so my family knows what to get for me, with the safety that I will not buy it for myself (at least not until after Christmas!) Tune in to hear what I had on my list, and I will share in a future episode what I got.

Merry Christmas everyone! This year I decided to share what I have on my Christmas wish list. This is a list I share with my family that is a safe list, meaning that they can get me stuff from here knowing it is something I want and I don't already have. Video games have always had a special meaning to me at Christmas, with so many good and magical memories attached from my childhood all the way up to recent years as an adult. There is just something magical about getting a video game for Christmas. Tune in to hear what I put on my list!

This week I decided to take the time to read through Mausritter and see if this game lives up to all of the hype it has generated. This game is very much an OSR inspired game, very obviously inspired by Into the Odd. I knew very early on that this game would really appeal to me. I love the presentation overall, and to top it all off, it has that unforgiving danger at its core, including in its magic system. This game will serve you well if you need to introduce a table of kids to role-playing, but can serve just as well for a decades old gaming group as well, one simply has to adjust a few levers here and there, but otherwise, the contest can easily adapt to serve most any audience. Tune in to hear about what makes this game sound so special.

I can't believe it has already been 20 years since the Xbox 360 came out. This was Microsoft's most successful platform to date. It is the platform many fans wish Microsoft would go back to when it comes to guiding their approach to the gaming industry going forward. This platform marked the beginning of a lot of changes to the status quo in the gaming industry, both for good and for bad. Developers could now patch their games more regularly on console, DLC and expansion content expanded the life of games, but also added extra costs to the consumer as well. On top of all of this, some great games were introduced during this generation, and thanks to the focus on Xbox Live Arcade, and the famous "Summer of Arcade" during the 360 era, lots of indie games got a well deserved spotlight and were launched into major success! Tune in to hear what games really marked this platform as a serious contender and gave Sony a run for it's money.

If your home game is anything like mine, at this time of year, with Christmas rapidly approaching, your groups availability for gaming starts to become more and more unpredictable. What happens if your group cancels with little notice, but you really have that itch to game? I have explored that very question on an earlier episode of Saving Throes, but this week I wanted to revisit it again. This time I am focussing entirely on the video games that can kinda fill that gap, albeit temporarily. There are so many video games out there that aim to emulate the tabletop experience, and not just D&D. They might be able to help you if you are feeling stranded. Tune in to hear what surprising non-D&D video games actually exist, and see if they might be of use to you.

It's that time of year again, Geoff Keighley's Game Awards are just around the corner, happening later this week. I like to do an episode of predictions on who the big winners will be and also to put my 2 cents in to state whom I'd like to se win, based entirely on the list that the TGA crew has prepared for the show. To be clear, these awards and my predictions do not have any weight or impact on the games I will be recognizing later on in January for the Red Rooster Game awards, they are just my opinion on what is being shown at the TGAs. Tune in to hear my predictions and then next week I will see how accurate my insights were (or were not)!

I've seen a number of D&D You Tube content creators doing videos asking the question "What if I owned D&D". At first I dismissed this as a passing fad, but then I thought more and more about it. I then saw more content creators doing their version of the question and by this time, I had a bunch of ideas jotted down as to what I would do, and now I decided that this week I would throw my hat into the ring and talk about what I would do if I owned D&D - not if I worked for Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro, but if I owned the D&D brand outright, unattached to any corporate interest. Tune in to hear what my master plan be, or at least what I would hope I could accomplish!

This week I am going over one of the newer and certainly more exciting releases for the Evercade. When Blaze announced the first Neo Geo collection, it definitely got a lot of people's attention. As a result, when this first collection came out, it was almost immediately sold out everywhere and difficult to track down. Thankfully I was able to secure mine, and complete this episode. This is a great start to the Neo Geo collections and a great way for anyone without any experience with their library to get a good taste. Not every title is a bonafide classic, but a few of them truly are. Tune in to hear which titles got me most excited to revisit and which ones just got the passing grade.
