In Honor of the Smallest Most Loyal Listenerd,
On today's show we have the Spite plot team (now with more team) live from the Spite Plot Write. Ron, Barb, Brian, and Kirsten are joined by their teammates Brooks, Raissa, and Marc for a chat about what it's like running one of the largest sci-fi games on the west coast and some general tips on how to make something like that work.

Hey Listenerd Friends,
On today's show we're talking about the commercialization and monetization of larp. We explore into the for-profit sector and share our thoughts. Apologies for the quality, Ron is moving and didn't have his full studio tp record in. We will be going back to the old set-up in the episode after next.

Howdy Listenerds?
Barb, Brian, Ron, and Kirsten get into a discussion about how to "brand" Pacific Northwest Larp. Obviously, there's no perfect answer for that but they chat it up and give their personal opinions and theories. We hope you dig it.

Sup Listenerds?
On today's show, we're diving into personal responsibility and self-regulation in role-playing. How far is too far? When should you take a break? How to avoid injury? We get into the thick of it with some insights and personal stories.

Aloha Listenerds,
On today's show, we're talking about how to transition from one system to another. We give you tips and ideas to enter a new community that may be very different from what you're used to. In the end, games are different and we should celebrate their diversity while finding what works for us. Enjoy!

What's Up Listenerds?
On today's show Barb, Kirsten, Ron, and guest host Brian talk about randomized systems in role-playing and their benefits or drawbacks. We get into negotiated play and interesting systems that don't use traditional dice. We hope you dig the episode.

Greetings Listenerds,
We got a special long episode today, where the Nerdcasters are talking about Absentia, a Nordic inspired larp run by Ron, Kirsten, and Nerdcast alumn Jimmy. It was a private full weekend game that dealt with heavy themes of life, death, and humanity. We discuss the impact of the game on the players and the experience of playing in a Nordic game in the NW. Enjoy!

Greetings Friends,
The Nerdcasters are back at Radcon! We had an absolute time out in Pasco, WA at Radcon 2018. Panels were done, friends were made, and we made it out with this great memento of an episode. We hope you enjoy the show and a special thank you to the packed room of folks who came out to see us. We'll definitely be back next year.

Greetings Friends,
Today we're getting a little bit heavy as we talk about missing and broken stairs in role-playing communities. This is a very difficult subject that we're diving into and our hope is that we touched on some good points in our limited time. Trigger warning for mentions of sexual assault and heavy themes.
