    From the Beginning
    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.

    Old School Gaming, mostly
    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.
  • InfiniteLongbox
    I dig it
    Most Excellent podcast. Chill old school talk. Dig it.
  • Shekaka67
    The Heap is sweet!

  • Oldschoolthrasher
    Give it a shot
    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!
