I've been listening to Rob since he began his podcast from the beautful MN. He's got a great sense of humor and shares his gaming experience in a way that makes you feel he's talking to you from across the table.
This is a wonderful podcast that mainly deals with old school gaming. B/X, Swords and Wizardry figure prominently but other things like Thieves World are also discussed are movies, music, and breakfast cereals.
Most Excellent podcast. Chill old school talk. Dig it.
Love Rob’s calm demeanor and the topics are really good . KeepUp the good work !
Rob is a personal friend of mine, so let's get the bias out of the way :). This is a first shot at a podcast and I like his take on RPGs. I gave it a 4 because of the subject. A 5 will come when he gets his feet under him. Good work so far!
