    Saving Throes # 146 - Pages Through the Ages: Overlooked Monsters - Rot Grub

    Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across. In my next entry of the Pages Through the Ages sub-series Overlooked Monsters, I wanted to take a look at the Rot Grub. At first blush, it is certainly a disgusting creature to see and is generally unpleasant, but many players don't fully appreciate just how unpleasant these things can truly be. In the early editions of the game, these were basically little "save-or-die" vessels that might make you feeling like the rug got pulled from under your feet, and in later editions, they lost most of their teeth and traded in the instant lethality for an annoying persistent damage (still lethal at the low levels). I compare and contrast each iteration of this menace, and then home-brew some new Rot Gubs that retain their teeth from the earliest editions, but retain a clean and mechanically fair presentation from later iterations. I think it puts them back on the map of enemies to avoid like the plague! Tune in to hear my thoughts on this critter throughout the years and how I would present them to my players today taking inspiration from each edition's interpretation.  If you would like to reach out, you can reach me at redroostersgamingcoop@gmail.com - I would love to hear from you!

    Pining for Pixels # 146 - Report Card: Sony State of Play, February 12, 2026

    Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games! Sony just had a huge State of Play show, that ran 70+ minutes. This was all just game trailer after trailer after trailer. They did not focus a block of time on any one particular game like I thought they might with that runtime. They have not had a show this substantial since the period shortly after the PS5 was launched in November 2020. This show changed all of that, and the quality was not sacrificed for quantity. Tune in to hear my overall thoughts on this show and what games I am most looking forward to, and of course what my overall game of the show was for this State of Play.  If you would like to reach out, you can reach me at redroostersgamingcoop@gmail.com - I would love to hear from you!

    Saving Throes # 145 - Behind the Screen: The Adventure Design Philosophy in D&D 5e 2014

    Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across. I came across 2 very interesting and rather insightful articles at Polygon.com, that detail out the design goals and thinking that went into designing many of 5e's most iconic adventures. These articles were more than just 5e fluff pieces and turned out to be quite informative to the approach they used. This information is coming straight from the horses mouth, as it is from an interview with Chris Perkins who was rather candid about the process. I was surprised by how much actually resonated with me and matched some of my own values when it comes to what I consider the best ways to play D&D. Although I haven't played or run all of the 5e hardcover adventure paths, this got me more interested in a couple of them, particularly Rime of the Frost Maiden. Tune in to hear about what adventure paths I have run and/or played in and my own take on these experiences.  If you would like to reach out, you can reach me at redroostersgamingcoop@gmail.com - I would love to hear from you!

    Pining for Pixels # 145 - Report Card: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, February 5, 2026

    Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games! Report Card is a new segment for Pining for Pixels where I will be grading the platform holder/publisher direct presentations as they come up. I am launching this segment with the most recent Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase that aired on February 5, 2026. It was a long overdue showcase that confirmed the 3rd party situation for the Switch 2 is going to be strong. It contained some ports of existing games as one expects, but also some surprise announcements and some great demonstrations of upcoming technical showcase games. Despite that, there are many out there who were disappointed with this showing, for a number of reasons. Tune in to see what I thought of it!

    Saving Throes # 144 - Roll for Initiative: A Grab Bag of Topics

    Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across. This week I wanted to do a Roll for Initiate episode where I compare many different TTRPG elements and outline my own gaming preferences. This really is a grab bag of topics that aren't all related to one another. Some will be a little bit controversial, based on your gaming preferences (for example, should a DM always roll out in the open, or behind a screen?), while some might have such an easy one or the other answer - don't worry though, I have tried to make a definitive pick for each matchup, and not take the neutrality way out. I run through a list and justify my own personal preferences. So tune in and hear me out, and feel free to reach out to me afterward to let me know how much you agree! or perhaps how much I missed the mark!

    Pining for Pixels # 144 - The Top 100: #91 - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

    Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games! For the next entry in my top 100 list, I'm heading back to 2003 to revisit this amazing entry in a legendary franchise. The Sands of Time has left a lasting impact to this day, from the flowing combat style that we have seen in games like the Batman Arkham series, to high wire acrobats and stunts like in the Uncharted series, and of course, Assassin's Creed - they all owe a debt to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Sadly, the remake of this game was recently cancelled, and to make things worse, the original 2003 game is no longer easily accessible on modern platforms (here's hoping Ubisoft will eventually put out a modern day remaster collection at least!). Despite all of that though, this game still burn in my memory as a peak gaming experience. Tune in to hear what gave this entry of the storied franchise the right elements to have such a lasting impact.  If you would like to reach out, you can reach me at redroostersgamingcoop@gmail.com - I would love to hear from you!

    Saving Throes # 143 - DM Advice, Volume 1

    Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across. This week I decided to start a new segment that is pretty self explanatory - providing DM advice! Now this isn't just random tidbits of advice, instead I have searched out DMs who are actively searching for advice for specific questions. This was inspired by a recent rash of D&D content creators reacting to a DM's Reddit question about a player asking to have a character immune to death. I wanted to weigh in on this too, but opted to add a few different questions to address as well. The questions are all themed around the subject of death, in one way or another. Tune in to see if you get anything from my advice, or if you agree with it at all.  If you would like to reach out, you can reach me at redroostersgamingcoop@gmail.com - I would love to hear from you!

    Pining for Pixels # 143 - Top 5 Video Game Book Club Games From 2025

    Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games! I want to look back at all the games I played as part of my video game book club series during 2025. I played a total of 5 games to completion, and as is becoming a tradition for this show, I have arranged them from my least favourite to my most favourite now that the year is done. Although I enjoyed every one of them, there certainly was an order to my enjoyment. I was honestly quite surprised overall with the order, but in my heart I kind of knew where some of them would fall in this list eventually. There was a mix of genuine unexpected delight and an unfortunate feeling of overhype that impacted the order for this list, but in all cases, a good amount of fun was to be found. Tune in to hear some of my more controversial thoughts on some of these titles.  If you would like to reach out, you can reach me at redroostersgamingcoop@gmail.com - I would love to hear from you!
