It's Been a Great Week for Geek Gab

This has been a hell of a good week for the Geek Gab gang. All three of the podcasts aired this week, and all three are worthy of your attention.

Brian Niemeier's "On The Books" is one of the best writer and writing-focused podcasts around, especially for those that prefer to listen to such things on their breaks at work. This short episode got well into the subject, as it matters to those making the things, and then took off when they got the job done. You can count on this sort of thing on the regular from Brian on this show. If you're not either tuning in live (preferred, due to the live chat)

Dorrinal's Game Night had Douglas Cole on to talk about Cole's "Dungeon Grappling", and ended up talking about how tabletop RPGs still have terrible combat systems due to Cargo Cult thinking and a decided lack of real-world experience on personal combat that makes itself felt in the games we play at the table. (Not enough respect for shields, or grappling, etc.) This translates into videogame experiences, as they do follow tabletop trends. While (again) being there live is best (for the chat), this is worth listening to if you're into gaming and game design no matter your medium.

This is today's Geek Gab podcast, which was a more wide-ranging conversation that returned to the regular topic that SJWs Ruin Everything. Given the guest, there's been much talk of writing and publishing, but the cultural impact of independent publishing gets its due. Daddy Warpig has one of his signature rants, and all-around good fun is had.

Tyhat's why you should be subscribed to Geek Gab, one way or another. If you're shunning YouTube, hit p SoundCloud or one of the other alternatives. (Guys, get set up on Vid.me already; backups are good, especially since YouTube's gone shadowban and ban-happy of late.) See you in the chat down the road!
