BDaB Character Jam 16: Firefly Part 1: The Characters

2020-12-27 BDaB Character Jams, Bikers Dice & Bars, Casts

NOTE: This episode kicks off a major effort to clear out the editing backlog in the final weeks of 2020. The show notes on these are kept at a minimum until we clear out the log, which ends with the last of our new Mothership RPG Actual Play sessions.

In this new Character Jam, we make an _awesome_ set of new heroes for the excellent Firefly RPG. Please give it a listen, and then check out the special bonus Part 2 episode on Patreon, where we later meet back up and create our ship!

BDaB #049: Horrible Life Choices with MD 2020

2020-11-13 Bikers Dice & Bars, Casts

Listen closely, dear Listener, to this deep cautionary tale of poor decisions and destroyed souls. The BDaB crew finally (!) delivers on its long-mentioned promise of guiding you through a taste sampler review of all the flavors of MD “Mad Dog” 2020 wine that we could acquire. Why would we inflict this torture upon ourselves? For comedy and science, of course. We drink the Mad Dog, so you don’t have to. Don’t know what Mad Dog is? Give us a listen and you will very quickly find out!

BDaB #048: Getting the Band Back Together / Xander for Mayor!

2020-10-17 Bikers Dice & Bars, Casts

We’re getting the Band back together! And by that I mean that the Bikers Dice and Bars crew is finally starting the long-needed process of reassembling our podcast crew to record in-person again. After months of remote recording woes, we now have added safety measures to our studio to enable us to once again meet face to face, and joyfully record like we used to in The Before Times. Hooray!

BDaB #047: Summer 2020 Retrospective

2020-10-12 Bikers Dice & Bars, Casts

In this episode we return to our “classic” three-part format, taking a look back at the better times of this otherwise awful Summer in the otherwise terrible year that has been 2020. In our first segment we talk about our favorite rides (or lack thereof) taken during this past Summer. In our second segment, we discuss the gaming and general nerdery we’ve accomplished while on COVID lockdown the past few months. And in our third segment, we look at how our drinking has changed, and the ways we have adapted to keep ourselves sane. Sanity is apparently a running theme these days, so y’all be sure to do your best to hold on as best you can!

BDaB Bonus: Virtual Tabletops (w/ Alex Hakobian)

2020-09-15 Bikers Dice & Bars, Casts

With Poppy and Xander abset, this time around JJ and NPC take a break from the normal format to record a fun bonus discussion with our good friend Alex Hakobian, developer of the Broadsword RPG. Our focus tonight is on the appeal and availability of “virtual tabletops” (VTTs) for playing RPGs online. We talk about the big fish in the VTT pond, as well as a number of additional offline and alternate options.

BDaB Character Jam 15: Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (1st Ed)

2020-09-10 BDaB Character Jams, Bikers Dice & Bars, Casts

FINALLY! We’ve had a lot of tech difficulties in the last month, resulting in two “lost” episodes and a whole new approach to the entire way we record. Hopefully things are worked out, so for now, here’s our latest new character jam! This time we try our hand at drunkenly making characters for Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 1st Edition. And spoilers: it does not go well, but it’s still hilarious through to the end.

BDaB #045: A Spontaneous Hour of Wine

2020-07-26 Bikers Dice & Bars, Casts

Xander couldn’t join us at the last minute, so Jacob, poppy, and NPC decide to do a spontaneous recording about their appreciation of good wines. We share out various wine stories, tangents about our 21st birthdays, origins of our wine appreciation, what we’ve learned, and what we love the most.

BDaB #044: Adapting Our Hobbies to this Brave New World

2020-07-20 Bikers Dice & Bars, Casts

In this episode, we talk about the many ways in which the quarantine has impacted our hobbies, forcing us to adapt to the new world of uncertainty.

BDaB #43: So You Want to Own a Firearm… (w/ PB of the LRA)

2020-06-29 Bikers Dice & Bars, Casts

We’re super excited to welcome special guest PB, founder of the Latino Rifle Association. PB joins us to talk about a subject that many folks have had on their mind in these conflicted times: firearms and the acquisition thereof. We look at good and bad reasons for wanting to own a gun, then talk about what you need to know in order to begin the process of legal acquisition. Along the way we share our own stories of past and present firearm acquisitions, and reinforce crucial safety rules and requirements that all firearms users should follow.

BDaB #42: Dice, Cards, and Other Tools of the Tabletop

2020-06-25 Bikers Dice & Bars, Casts

We talk about those cool physical game components that we all recognize as the iconic tools of tabletop role-playing. We talk about the tools as well as much of the common lexicon and “inside terms” that permeate modern games, so you too can sound like an expert in nerdy conversations. We also take a special look into Poppy’s home-made “Dice Guide” that she made to help her learn which dice were which when she started playing more RPGs.
