Chicago-Style Hot Dogs

A Song of Ice and Fire: Andrew's PowerPoint Party Submission

Explicit
Hello friends, join me as I practice the unedited version of my PowerPoint party talk about A Song of Ice and Fire publication history, themes, and a few of the most accessible and scintillating fan theories. At time of recording I had not given the talk yet, but after the fact, I can confirm my PP was really long ;) ...and about as well-received as could be expected as a breathless share-all about my special interest.

Hello friends, join me as I revisit some of my old (now-retired) 60-card casual Magic decks from the mid-00s through the mid-2010s. Witness my growth as a casual kitchen-table player, from the early upgraded precons, to experimental jank, and finally budget takes on modern decks. Intro/outro cred.

Teaching D&D

Hello friends, join me as I ramble through the considerations for teaching a friend (or group of strangers!) how to play Dungeons & Dragons. Includes history of tabletop role-playing, some personal anecdotes from DMing and mentoring friends in their first games, and a discussion of the practical needs of a D&D novice. I recorded this back in May, and it's potentially the first part of a two-part episode. Let me know if I should revisit the topic by leaving me a comment on letmeexplainyouathing.com!
