Tabletop Journeys

Tabletop Journeys

Friends for much longer than any of them care to admit, your three hosts bring extensive RPG experience from even before they met. For almost 100 years combined, they have played in and ran tabletop and live action games of every stripe. Since then, they have discussed, argued, kibitzed, broken down, built up, rearranged, and dissected every imaginable topic, frequently in living rooms in front of horrified onlookers who couldn't get a word in edgewise. The Tabletop Journeys project started as friends wanting to get together over Zoom to talk about the games they were running, they stuff that they had bought, and things that they thought were cool. And now, we hope that you do too!

    What happens when your school principal turns out to be a lifelong dungeon master? You grab a coffee and hit record. 🎲 This week at the Tabletop Cafe, Mike sits down with Michael Ball, the principal of the Corbin School of Innovation. They have a conversation that proves gamers are everywhere, if you know how to spot them. Michael shares his incredible origin story: stumbling onto a Dragonlance novel in a book pile, inheriting a full 2nd Edition D&D collection from a roommate who went AWOL, and finding gaming groups in the most unexpected places throughout his life.

Friends for much longer than any of them care to admit, your three hosts bring extensive RPG experience from even before they met. For almost 100 years combined, they have played in and ran tabletop and live action games of every stripe. Since then, they have discussed, argued, kibitzed, broken down, built up, rearranged, and dissected every imaginable topic, frequently in living rooms in front of horrified onlookers who couldn't get a word in edgewise. The Tabletop Journeys project started as friends wanting to get together over Zoom to talk about the games they were running, they stuff that they had bought, and things that they thought were cool. And now, we hope that you do too!
