As the year 2022 draws to a close let's go out with an episode about one of my favorite hobbies: Dungeons and Dragons!
Historical Gaming is a series where I discuss possible ways to do a D&D campaign in time periods outside of the realm of European inspired classical fantasy. In this episode we'll learn a little about what it was like to be a hobo in early twentieth century America and how you might use this for a campaign set in the 1920s-1930s.

To say the year 2020 changed the world would be an understatement. But through all the chaos, confusion, and coronavirus the dice continued to roll. With a COVID vaccine finally rolling out health experts believe there might be a light at the end of the tunnel. We can't say for certain when things will get back to normal, but it is safe to say that it will be a few months.
In this episode Al, Scott, and Chad discuss how COVID and social distancing impacted their gaming habits and how we continued to participate in the hobby we love.
