Free Advice: One should search a potential blog or podcast name before adopting it as canon.

Hey guys and gals, It's great to see you all again. How's your mother? Yeah, mine's pretty quiet too. Today; the story of how it all started. The humble saga of a humble podcast with stars in its eyes and more than a few songs in its heart. (We'd like to apologize at this time to any listeners who might have heard the stars/songs from Episode 1 and thereby suffered mental or physical injury. We are truly truly sorry.)

Yes, Episode 1, our primitive ancestor. It's actually a pretty funny story. I was just sitting on the sofa with Will, drinking a coke, watching the Acquisitions Incorporated D&D game from PAX a few years back (Side Note: If you haven't seen Acquisitions Incorporated definitely check it out https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi-PULMg2eD_v5AO0PlW4sg ) and all of a sudden it just occurred to me: There really isn't very much else out there like it.

Twitch streamers do a great job creating content for video gamers but by comparison table top fans are all but left out in the cold. No more, I say. At that moment, I decided that this was my job and within about ten minutes we were recording our first, rather ill fated episode. (Quick aside: If you are a first time reader/listener please give episode 2 a listen. It's much more...together than it's predecessor.) We couldn't figure out where the fan sound was coming from. I realized today that, in fact, episode one was actually recorded on an ancient headset mic that had fallen behind the desktop case onto the ground and was pressing up against the main fan.

Even as embarrassing as episode 1 was/is/shouldITakeItDownYouThink?/NoLetsJustTalkAboutItMore, as I'm editing the next one, I can't help but smile at the thought of its grandfather standing stalwart in the face of all opposition and reminding constantly me that I wanted to make something, that I did, and then asking what my name was again. Maybe that's an insensitive joke. Hmmm... Here check out this new logo sketch I did!

Finished version should be up with the new episode on Monday. (Yeah that seemed to do the trick they are on our side again.) The bottom line is, thank you all so much for reading, listening, subscribing, commenting, or what ever it is you do. Because at the end of the day, you're all the only reason to even do something like this and I am very grateful that I get to.

Podcast Re-Roll

It has come to my attention that Roll 2d6 is already the name of another well known and all together not this podcast. Being the positively scrupulous man that I am and being the captain of this here web vessel, such that I am, we shall press on but under a new guise. Thus, it is my absolute pleasure to announce to you all at this this time, ladies and gentlemen, coming to an i-pod near you, Conquest or Calamity, with your host; ladies and gentlemen, he's the Sultan of Sleeze and Far-lord of the Lost Sands but you know him from Neverwinter Top 40, Kevin Oceanspray! Stay tuned for a new podcast every Monday! -James

Episode 1

Hiya!

Welcome to Roll 2d6. I will at some point in the near future, when I am of sounder mind and surer footing, retrace my key strokes and do this post over for the sake of propriety. That said, this cake is half baked right now. Don't pretend you didn't notice. It's what makes it so moist and gooey inside. Now I give you, without further adieu, Roll 2d6, episode 1.


-Peace Out Dudes

PS. The chords to the theme song are C, E, Dm, E, C.
