The Dapper Meeple: Recent Episodes
Jim and Josh Firkins
Our podcast where we share our love of all things gaming. Boardgames, Card games, TTRPG’s... you name it we’ll try to bring it to the table.
Fresh off of our annual PAX U trip were back to talk about the stuff that really got us excited. PAX U is all grown up and the diversity of guests and vendors speaks to that big time.
Oh and we've got updates on the Kickstarter strike, Catan making big moves and Omin Dran being Omin Dran (Never change Jerry, Never).
Last were continuing our dive into Daggerheart (which seems more appropriate now than ever) and we're going to show you how easy it is to make a character.

Just a Little Sunshine by Staffan Carlen
We're back again and of course we brought another guest on for you. Charlie, or the Inked GM (go look it up) is a local, Professional DM that we had the pleasure of playing with in a one shot testing event.
We had a blast getting to talk to him; He told us all the things he loves about being a DM, we talked mental health in gaming and about his own homebrewed world which we absolutely want to play in. It was a great conversation with a great guy. Make sure you go find Charlie on his socials @inked_GM, or on his own podcast The Story Crafters on Youtube or where you find your podcasts.
And just for a little cherry on the top we're going to hear all about his favorite character Gerrard Bhaseth in our Know Your Character segment.

Just one more episode for the end of the year. We hope that your year has been as good as ours and wish everyone a happy holiday.
We've talked about the idea of a paid GM a few times but today we're going to talk to someone who makes his living prepping, running, and empowering others to run TTRPG games. Chris Todd runs the Rogue Game Masters out of Virginia Beach where he not only runs games, where his players happily pay for his service, but also gives other GMs the chance to do the same using his resources.
This has been a conversation long in the making and we're excited to have it today.

Come Back Again by Victor Lundberg
We've got a great guest joining us today from The Weathered Dragon. Mike Jimenez got back into Dungeons and Dragons after years of being away and Mike is the kind of guy to say "nope a kitchen table just won't do". So he set out to make him and his friends a kick ass table to adventure around, and kick ass it was. So much so that Mike's passion project turned into a full scale business and now we get to talk to him about it. Below are the links where to find The Weathered Dragon as well as the miniature studio that have partnered with Weathered Dragon Press to enhance the one shot adventures that you can also find on the site.

We love to hear about big companies trying to put some good out in the world. We're a little wary but still love to hear about it.

Hey guys its time for our first guest of 2024.
