Fear the Boot, the tabletop RPG podcast, has been nominated at the Gen Con EN World RPG Awards. If you remember, these are the guys who interviewed me back in May. I’ve since become friends with the hosts and I really enjoy the show, so I’m really cheering for them. If you’re so inclined, please stop on over and give them a vote. If you’ve never heard the show before, now would be a good time to check it out.
Are Lootboxes Gambling?
Obviously they are. Right? Actually, is this another one of those sneaky hard-to-define things?
Internet News is All Wrong
Why is internet news so bad, why do people prefer celebrity fluff, and how could it be made better?
Silver Sable Sucks
This version of Silver Sable is poorly designed, horribly written, and placed in the game for all the wrong reasons.
The Opportunity Crunch
No, brutal, soul-sucking, marriage-destroying crunch mode in game development isn't a privilege or an opportunity. It's idiocy.
Self-Balancing Gameplay
There's a wonderful way to balance difficulty in RPGs, and designers try to prevent it. For some reason.

Not the first post!
I’m confused.. I’m not sure what to do.. I’ve never been this high up in the comments.. I know I should say something.. I guess I’m finally gonna listen to this boot deal you’re always ravin’ ’bout. .. an hour long.. ok.. here goes.
I wish I could make it out to GenCon and meet the guys. Theirs is pretty much my favorite podcast out there.
Well I am a fan of FTB but they got taken down from competition for the award a bit of bruhaha over some jesting comments on their podcast.
