And thank you to everyone who tuned in to Extracurricular Activities last Thursday. I have so much fun running that game and I was very excited to introduce Char to the cast. For the uninitiated, ExA is an East Texas University live stream that is produced by Gamerstable. You can catch the VOD and future episodes at twitch.tv/gamerstable.
For those of you who were listening last season you may have caught that we did a Rebroadcast of our initial chat with James D’Amato. Well that got me thinking and I reached out to James to see if he wanted to come back on the show! We had such a good time catching up on all the crazy things that’ve happened over at One Shot. We specifically spent a lot of time talking about the changes to Skyjacks, the new setting for Campaign. One of my favorite things about doing this show is inviting creative people on to talk about what they're passionate about and James never disappoints.
As always, we ask that you rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher or wherever you listen.

And thank you to everyone who joined us for our season premiere last week. It’s always exciting to start a new season and see that you’re listening and enjoying. Judging by the numbers, we’ve got some new listeners this season so let me take a moment to say welcome! Feel free to say hi on any of our Social Media accounts or come join our discord.
This week, I’m excited to say, I was joined by Richard Woolcock. Richard is a fixture in the Savage Worlds community, though some may know him under the name Zadmar. In addition to the popular Saga of the Goblin Horde, he has also designed and released Tricube Tales, a system originally designed to run easy games for his son that has now been expanded into a full game. We talked about game design, how Richard plans out projects and some of his upcoming work. If you want to be kept to date, the best place to find Richard is on his blog.

And thank you for being here for Season Six! It’s incredible to be working on another season of Gaming with Gage and I’m so excited for some of the interviews we have lined up. A couple of quick reminders before we jump into the episode. The easiest way to get in touch with myself or any of this cast is through our discord. We also run games there so if you’re looking to break into virtual gaming, come check it out. Also, we have a Patreon! Today our $5/month backers are listening to We Watch, We Talk our Patreon exclusive podcast where Amanda and I watch a movie and then we talk about it. Next month we’re watching the Rocketeer so come join us.
The guest this week is Tracy Sizemore and I couldn’t have picked a better person to launch Season Six. You may be familiar with Tracy from her incredible game design and free lance work but I know her best from Savage Interludes, a weekly Savage Worlds podcast that I adore. You can listen to that show at http://savageinterludes.com. Tracy and I talked about gaming, Savage Worlds and design. I may have gushed a little about some of the tips I’ve picked up from Savage Interludes but what is this show but an excuse for me to talk to people I admire.

And thank you for being here for our Season Finale. I’m blown away every time we wrap a season, even now five seasons and two years later. It’s incredible to me that I get the chance to sit down and chat with so many wonderful gamers, and interact with so many fantastic nerds. Every episode starts with me thanking each and every one of you for being here and I want you to know that I truly mean that. It’s only because of you that I’m able to do this show. So thank you.
Since this is our Season Finale that means you won’t be hearing from me next week but you can catch Season Six on April 6th. Now just because we won’t have regular episodes doesn’t mean we’ll be completely silent. You can still follow us on social media, catch me on some live streams and our Patreon podcast will still be releasing. If you REALLY miss my yammering you can also join our discord and listen to me gush over Locke & Key.
This week our guest is Wayne Cole, of Fear the Boot the tabletop RPG advice podcast. Those of you who caught our ETU: Extra Curricular Activities stream at twitch.tv/gamerstable will also recognize him as Gretsky, the paranoid loner hacker guy in the hoodie. Wayne’s been a host on Fear the Boot for over 10 years and a diehard Super Hero fan even longer. We talked about how he got into RPGs. the best systems for different types of supers games and the upcoming Fear the Con.

And thank you to everyone who made it out for Big20 last night. It’s always a pleasure doing that show and Dan and Pete were impeccable co-hosts. If you’re listening to this episode the week it comes out, you can catch me back on Gamerstable’s Twitch channel this Thursday at 9PM Eastern.
Since we are approaching the end of Season Five, only one episode left, it is that wonderful time for you to send me your feedback. A new season means we can try new formats, bring back old classics and you can be the deciding vote. You catch up with us on our discord or email me at Gage@SGADPOD.com.
This week our guest is Charlotte Irrgang, of Irrgardless. Char does layout, editing and design for RPGs as well as appearing on Twitch, Discord and that one time where I may have murdered her character. I mean, it happens. Char is also a fellow 2019 SWAG award winner and currently working on Heroes of Terra, a wonderful setting for the Savage Worlds system.

Hello everyone and welcome to a very special episode of Gaming with Gage where, after this intro, you won’t be hearing my sweet sweet voice at all. Friend of the show Chris Hussey graciously agreed to show up and take over this week and my gratitude abounds. Seriously, he is the best. And not only is Chris the best but the guest he brought with him is one of the coolest, Senda Linaugh. For those of you who don’t know Senda, you can find her on She’s a Super Geek, Panda’s Talking Games, Gnome Stew and pretty much any corner of the internet where fun games are played. Also don’t forget to catch Chris’ Deadlands Reloaded Podcast, the Adventures of Young & Holt.

And with all that out of the way, I’m going to get out of here and let these two talented individuals take over,

And thank you everyone for your patience this week. I’ve been dealing with some family issues since the New Year and that combined with a work trip made getting the episode out difficult. This week we do have something special for all of you didn’t get a chance to watch the ETU: Extra Curricular Activities stream. Now you can enjoy it in audio! As in, right now. As in, it’s this episode. If you’d prefer to watch the VOD instead you can go to Twitch.tv/gamerstable.
Now because this was originally a live stream there are some differences from normal episodes. For one thing, the audio quality is lower than our normal shows. That’s because 6 different people, all using their own equipment and without time for corrections, are very difficult to keep level. We’ve done what we can to ensure an enjoyable listening experience. The second big difference is that this episode is not family friendly. While there are few adult themes, the language is an issue if you have young children present. Maybe grab some headphones. Sorry Jason.
This show was produced and hosted by Openly Gamer Theater. If you haven’t checked out the other Actual Plays and Role Play dramas you can find them at gamerstable.com/ogt

And thank you to everyone who watched ETU: Extra Curricular Activities over on the Gamerstable Twitch channel. We had such a fun time that we’re actually scheduling a Part 2 so stay tuned. If you didn’t get a chance to watch live you can catch the VOD on Twitch.tv/gamerstable.
This week I’m excited to say that our guest is Dan Wells. In addition to being a NY Times Bestselling Author and a Hugo award winning podcaster Dan is also the Game Master for Typecast RPG, a D&D 5E Actual Play Twitch Stream where all of the players are also authors. They just started their season two last Tuesday, so it’s a perfect time to jump in.
I have been a fan of Dan’s for a number of years, so you may hear me gushing a little bit. We talked about his Teenage Mutant entry into gaming, his love of board games and I may have hinted that he pick up the new edition of Savage Worlds. Yes yes, I know. I just can’t help myself.

And thank you for joining us during the strange pre New Years week where time has no meaning. I hope you are enjoying the holidays. And holidays are a time for family so this week my wife Amanda is back on the show for another topic episode. We talked about introducing new players to Roleplaying games, to your group and to new games and systems. Spoiler, food plays a heavy part.
