Kicked in the Dicebags!

The Secret Lives of Geeks

Announcement ! 12/20/2024

Announcement ! Yes the podcast is returning in 2025 in its next incarnation but it is going to hit YouTube as a gaming and actual play channel in this incarnation. We might come back to the point of postmortem breakdowns what was learned and what worked and what didn't. But it is time to come back to things when there is something to be said. /episode/index/show/kickedinthedicebags/id/34543490

Episode 242: Sounds of Controversy 02/11/2023

Episode 242: Sounds of Controversy Apologies in advance for the grainy and turgid audio quality a lot of editing and cleaning up seemed to add up to naught in the final accounting. Also a part, in the beginning, got yanked out for some inexplicable reason. What is digestible however signals my return back in this forbidding zone. /episode/index/show/kickedinthedicebags/id/25896801

Episode 241: Thoughts on D&D Guess who is back from sabbatical and walking the earth like Cain and well papa's got a brand new bag in 2023. Problems with editing messing up the intro and outro so I gave you the meat of the sandwich not the bread. :) /episode/index/show/kickedinthedicebags/id/25751811

Actual Play promo - C*cksure and Fancy Free 06/18/2018

Actual Play promo - C*cksure and Fancy Free My first deep dive in a recorded actual play ( the last did not quite make it with a group of Booters I played with some years ago.) But this is a clarion call for two slots of protagonist characters for those who might be available in the listening audience to participate in the online Skype sessions no more than two hours long max. There will be more details to follow in the upcoming weeks on this... hope you all enjoyed the Father's Day weekend. /episode/index/show/kickedinthedicebags/id/6715474

Episode 237 - Being Facebook Authentic, Sexual Harassment in the RPG Industry and current events politics in a campaign 06/15/2018

Episode 237 - Being Facebook Authentic, Sexual Harassment in the RPG Industry and current events politics in a campaign This episode talks about musings of Facebook and social media shenanigans I have witnessed over time. Then the sexual harassment wave has begun to swell in the RPG industry as key creators (who I will leave nameless) have been publicly decried and indicted for such in the court of public opinion and removed from their positions and what this spells for us in who just want a safe haven to game. And RIGHTFULLY so our mothers, daughters,sisters, wives, girlfriends and friends at the table. The topic finally branches off to discuss the inclusion of current events and politics at the gaming table as a campaign fodder and how that has influenced me to get back into superhero RPG's after a long time not wanting to run them specifically and stayed in sci-fi territory or other genres. Specifically the late Guardians Of Order : The Authority RPG Link: Green Lantern Hal Jordan being yelled for doing nothing for black people. Oh and welcome back everybody ! /episode/index/show/kickedinthedicebags/id/6707332

Storytime Part 3: Accountability, Imposter Syndrome, Breast Cancer and the Body Politic 09/24/2017

Storytime Part 3: Accountability, Imposter Syndrome, Breast Cancer and the Body Politic This is the third and final chapter of the story time installments as we march into Autumn with resolve and new purpose. I talk about doubt, uncertainty and ownership of mistakes and much, much more. Some if you may agree or disagree with it but it is HONEST, authentic, and as always a dialogue with my audience. /episode/index/show/kickedinthedicebags/id/5769729

Storytime Part 2: How I came to stop believing in a post racial society AKA or how I stopped being an interracialist 09/19/2017

Storytime Part 2: How I came to stop believing in a post racial society AKA or how I stopped being an interracialist The controversial series of introspection continues with my thoughts and personal experiences covering the collective failure of the Civil Rights movement and its generation. The impossibility of integration as a principle and why it was doomed to begin with. Obama and other puppets placed to make people acquiesce and get comfortable under a corrupt political machine and the corporate interests. And the illusion of some black men that believe interracial dating is a solution under the executioner shadow of white nationalism and supremacy in this nation. The illusion I woke up from just in time but not before I was served up the punishing system myself as a lesson. When interracial sex is just an anesthetic to distract and make him groggy before he sees the axe coming for his neck. And that racial hate and believe of inferiority and superiority exists even while lust and sexual acts and even cohabitation are present. It is just compartmentalized. /episode/index/show/kickedinthedicebags/id/5753194

Bonus Episode: Storytime Part I First RULE of WAR it is ALWAYS bet on RED not Black 09/16/2017

Bonus Episode: Storytime Part I First RULE of WAR it is ALWAYS bet on RED not Black Facebook frustrations, corporate politics, gender warring, accusations of false sexual harassment reveal a beginning segment of life lessons to the listener. This is a cautionary tale of let the buyer beware and how naiveté and the lesser guarded with the armor of intellect and self awareness will find themselves face down and floating and carried away by the river. Where the bodies of your enemies should occupy. /episode/index/show/kickedinthedicebags/id/5745327

Episode 236 :Landreth 09/11/2017

Episode 236 :Landreth This RECORDING apologies is f**ing lousy. Jonathan either had speakers on or no headset because the Skype reverb and echo effect is bad. With editing there was very little that could be done. A clip of the episode is gone where I started to talk about black economic empowerment under white nationalism. But then the audio picks up again. So pick up what gems that are salvageable from this broadcast but I do not hold this as being our golden bar standard. /episode/index/show/kickedinthedicebags/id/5727295
