Welcome to my Anchor channel. You'll find nothing serious here. I talk about tabletop RPG gaming with a focus on the older editions and retro clones. Some folks call it the OSR, I just call it gaming. If you like rolling weird dice, talking in weird voices and just being weird, pull up a chair and stay a while.

Great insight into roleplaying and adventure building

Tim Shorts creates and provides great resources for classic RPG games through his Patreon, and in this podcast he gives terrific insights and advice on the process of building great adventures and roleplaying in general. Always a candid and interesting listen, for both players and DMs.

My Favorite

I listen to quite a few TTRPG podcasts - Gothridge Manor is my favorite. Tim’s warm, easygoing, and thoughtful approach showcases his seemingly boundless creativity. What I appreciate so much though, is it’s very useful and helpful creativity - contagious creativity that helps inspire my own ideas as well. Bonus points when he’s joined by his better half, Ivy “The Happy Whisk”- especially when Tim is “unboxing“ some new gaming purchase. Podcasting gold!

Great look behind the scenes

Tim is a very knowledgeable OSR content creator and this guerrilla style podcast podcast gives his thoughts on as he creates modules, runs games, unboxes purchases or just thoughts on the way home from the pizza place. Very intimate and approachable show by a genuinely nice man.
