Latest Episodes:

Pathfinder Feb 20, 2019

Show notes

Let’s talk about the game that is similar to, but legally distinct from, that other game we like to play. You know the one. And while we explore its history, lets also talk about where the name came from. Well, one possibility for it at least. Lets talk about if because for once we know exactly where the name came from and we also have other fine examples of things bearing that name. So you should definitely listen if you want the true history of Pathfinder. Your contributions help pay for the production and upkeep of this show and its website.

Fable Feb 12, 2019

Show notes

There are many stories that instruct, but few are so well known as those of Aesop. And there’s really only two problems with that statement, both having to do with Aesop himself. But that’’s okay because there is a lot else to know about fables. In fact, if there is one lesson you can take from this episode, it’s that …. Well, that is…. I mean…. No, you’re not going to learn anything, I guess. Your support keeps GM Word of the Week going. Join our Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/GMWordoftheWeek

Gremlins Jan 29, 2019

Show notes

“Things…don’t go smooth,” as a great philosopher once observed, and some of the places where they go least smooth are right here at GM Word of the Week Towers. Maybe you’ve experienced it. You have a nice, simple little plan, but bits of it just keep going wrong. Things go missing. Equipment refuses to work properly if at all. Things are out on the wing ripping pieces off. That sort of thing. Well, fortunately we have identified the culprits. Right here. Right now. If everything goes right.

Lost Episode 11 Jan 22, 2019

Show notes

Once again we’ve left a few things out of the edit. OR just plain got stuff wrong. Or maybe didn’t explain well enough. It all depends. In any case, here is yet another lost episode. You’d be forgiven for thinking this happens to us all the time. Because it does. But at least we try to correct ourselves. Your support is invaluable to us. https://www.patreon.com/GMWordoftheWeek

Sphinx Jan 08, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to 2019. This week we discuss the Sphinx(s), love our mothers, sit briefly on a couch, answer the biggest riddle of them all, and then tease next week’s show.

Socks Dec 25, 2018

Show notes

It’s here, it’s here! Christmas is finally here! And boy did we get you a heck of a present. Yes indeed. A fine, fine present. Open it! Hey, wait a minute. Why so glum? Don’t you like our present? You seem disappointed. Well, maybe the problem is, you just don’t know enough about it. Maybe you think socks are dull and boring. Maybe you lack a proper perspective. Because let me tell you chum, socks are important! And after this episode, you’ll thank us. You can always put a little something in our stocking and support GM Word of the Week on Patreon.

Surcoat Dec 18, 2018

Show notes

It’s cold outside. Better bundle up. And few items are better for bundling up than a good coat. The kind you’d formally address as Surcoat. Just our little joke. Keep in mind, though, that along with coat you’ve got the jacket, the jerkin, and a whole host of other things that may or may not be as important to your daily dress and overall comfort. Depending on who you are, of course. This holiday season, why not become a Patron of GM Word of the Week on Patreon.

Wool Dec 11, 2018

Show notes

It wraps you up and keeps you warm on those cold winter nights. And, at Christmas, it looks really terrible. That’s right, it’s wool. Don’t be sheepish, give it a listen. And, if you can excuse that pun, you can support GM Word of the Week on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/GMWordoftheWeek
