Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.

This week's episode was inspired by the recent news of D&D Drops, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks statement about D&D moving into more of a "live service" model, and the excellent You Tube video from GameMasters (check it out here - https://youtu.be/4Bjjv6U53zg?si=VRb2NyaDSyqx3TJG ). I think this is an important topic to talk about as it will have a lasting impact on the future of this hobby. Digital gaming books in the TTRPG space certainly has some advantages, but it also has a lot of drawbacks that should be considered as well. Tune in to hear me debate wth myself over the merits and issues with digital vs. physical RPG books, and let me know your answer to the question I pose to the audience at the end!

Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!

This week is a very unexpected episode for me. I am going to give you my own impressions after finishing Mixtape. This was a game I previously stated that I have no interest in, but due to the strong reactions it is getting online and strong critical reactions, together with the fact that it was on Game Pass, I gave it a shot and was rather surprised with how I felt about it by the end. Mixtape is a short experience, clocking in at around 3.5 hours. It is truly bizarre to me why this title has sparked such strong discourse online, which really got me thinking about the culture of reviews in the video game industry and I wanted to talk more on that issue as well. Tune in to hear me get a bit unexpectedly fired up about this subject.

There are so many TTRPGs I would love to play, but there is only so much time. This week I wanted to talk about the top 5 TTRPGs I would play if given the opportunity. Unfortunately due to the time demands of this hobby, it's not as easy as it seems when balanced with the other demands of life and other hobbies. That said, I hope I can convince one of my groups or even find a different group to play these games with. Some games would fit well in a con play or store play environment while others would likely be better suited to longer term home play. Tune in to hear what are the top 5 TTRPs I would play, at least as of May 2026 - this is a list that will be ever evolving as time goes on.
