Old school. It is a term we hear passed around the gaming community. Sometimes it is used to describe a game system, sometime it is used to describe the gamers themselves. In this episode Al and Chad discuss the term old school in relation to music, board games, video games, and table top role playing games.

The lumberjacks of old had a rich tradition of tall tales and stories that they would tell each other after a long day of hard, physical labor. One of the most well known figures in these stories is the legendary lumberjack Paul Bunyan.

But is more to this legend than a large man and his equally large ox? Could he have been based on a real person? Is the version of Paul Bunyan we are used to seeing based on genuine works of folklore? Listen to today's episode and find out!

Point of Insanity network will resume podcasting with a new show. Al explains.

"If you're not careful and no-clip out if reality in wrong areas, you'll end up in the backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, and endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.

God save you if hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you…"

These words describe the Backrooms, a terrifying maze that has captured the imagination of creepypasta and horror fans all over the internet. Al and Chad discuss ways to run a role playing game campaign in this mysterious place.

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.
