Steve Preston is the CEO of Goodwill Industries. Though Goodwill is known for big stores where people can donate clothes and buy them secondhand, those stores are just the first level of what Goodwill Industries are about. Those stores fund an international organization that provides job training, employment placement services and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment. Steve joins Jay to discuss the ways Goodwill Industries support veterans and individuals who lack job experience, an education, or face employment challenges, such as those people who are formerly incarcerated.

I’m a huge fan of superhero roleplaying games. It is my favorite genre to play in and I’m constantly on the look out for new games in the genre. I’ve frequently stated that there was a time when I owned every superhero game on the market. That’s no longer true, but I do own a lot and a lot of them are very interesting. Tobias Radesäter’s Supercrew definitely falls into the interesting category.

25:02

In this episode, I discuss Robin D Laws article " Four Players and a Murder Hobo " that was published on Pelgrane Press's website in 2016. While I believe that Robin is one of the best writers of game master advice in the history of table top gaming, I think he missed a key factor in this article. Yes, the article is 8 years old, but the dilemma it presents is still salient.…

Episode 172: Reviewing Flash Gordon and the Warriors of Mongo 33:43

33:43

This episode is a discussion of the long out of print Flash Gordon and the Warriors of Mongo role playing game. It was published by Fantasy Games Unlimited and written by FGU publisher Scott Bizar and Lin Carter and is likely the first licensed role playing game. Though the game was published in 1977, it is very different from D&D and other role playing games at the time. And an interesting D&D connection is that if you are familiar with Appendix N, Lin Carter edited about half the stories featured there and it’s interesting to see what he thought a role playing game should look like.…

Episode 166: Jim Pinto Talks About D&D as "Work," Player Agency vs. Consumer Agency, and the DM/Player Compact 59:30

59:30

Jim Pinto is an experienced and influential game designer who has some thought provoking opinions about the state of the art in role playing games. One of his opinions is that as D&D has evolved as a game, that the role of game master has become more like "work" and less like "play" and that there is an imbalance in player expectations and game master responsibilities. We discuss this phenomenon, the concept of agency in role playing games, and the dynamics of the DM to Player social compact. What do you think the proper role of the game master is? I give my answer in this episode, but I'd love to hear yours. You can leave a voice message with your response or email it to me at christian@geekeratimedia.com.…
