Get ready for something silly,
On today's show the Spite Larp plot team are deep into their plot write and have gotten a little silly. They're giving out advice like free ice cream, mixed with a lot of silly sprinkles. We hope you get some good tips and a lot of laughs from this one.

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.

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!

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.
