Neel Dutt
This is a podcast dedicated to my favorite hobby, role playing games. I'll be posting recordings of my gaming sessions, interviews with members of the gaming community, and other influences that apply to gaming.
Episode Description
After defeating the green dragon terrorizing Timberline Lodge, the party returned to Portland for some rest and relaxation. Upon their arrival, they discovered that their friend Omar the Dagger Salesman has recovered from his mortal wounds, but has opted to return home without the protection of the city guard. The Captain of the Guard asked them to speak to Omar and convince him to reconsider as he fears that his assassin may try again.
Upon arrival at Omar’s home, Omar and his wife Samira welcome the party and Omar divulges vital information about his attacker. However, the simple task of gathering the children for dinner has drawn Ithildaer the Thunder Blade and his companions into another adventure.
This campaign is a homebrewed adventure based on the idea of historical fantasy and takes place in the Pacific Northwest. All locations referenced are real or are based on real sites.

Hello all, this is Neel again. I'm working on relaunching my podcast with more material. The content will include:
The Ethics Committee - this is an ongoing Forgotten Realms game run by Stephen G. This is a living campaign he started 20+ years ago with the Forgotten Realms 3.5 Campaign setting where he has noted down the actions of his players and how they impacted the world. There have been several gaming groups who have taken part of this game and changed the face of Faerun.
Armorica - PNW - this is a home brewed historical fantasy setting taking place in the Pacific North West (PNW) of America around 1900AD. I will be referencing a number of locations, so you may remember this if you have lived in the PNW. Needless to say, this is not historically accurate, so please be understanding and enjoy the sessions.
Tales of the Aurora - this is a game run in the Dark Matter campaign setting about a mercenary crew of a Human Empire starship called the Aurora. These intrepid heroes fly amongst the stars, taking on contracts, and making friends and enemies along the way. The first session is a Session 0 as we're picking up 6 months after the last session, which includes a recap of what they've already been through. For more information on this game setting, please visit https://store.magehandpress.com/products/dark-matter-alpha?variant=15513911263314
I'm also looking at discussion episodes where I sit down with friends and discuss various gaming topics. I haven't figured out the format of these episodes, so consider this a work in progress.

After a six plus month hiatus, I am finally at a point where I can place more focus on the Tales from Ghosttusk's Lair Podcast. This episode provides some details on what happened to me since my last podcast and what my future plans are for the podcast. This includes:
-
Reviewing various RPG games, from the mainstream games like Pathfinder and D&D 5E to lesser known games like Aliens RPG. I, along with guests, will breakdown the game mechanics and hopefully answer some questions about the games.
-
Have discussions about the social aspects of gaming to better understand why gamers are the way they are. I'm not going to tackle big topics, just bring to light some things I've noticed and try to find out more about why these things happen.
In this podcast, I am reviewing the Stranger Things D&D Box Set and comparing it to the D&D Starter Set released in 2014. I encourage you all to to respond letting me know what your thoughts are on the product and your experiences in running the adventure in comparison to other D&D adventure modules and campaign books.
Also, I have an email address dedicated to the podcast. You can reach me at ghosttusklair@gmail.com.
Hi, I'm Neel and this is my first podcast. I wanted to introduce myself to you and let you know what I'm planning to do with this podcast. Hopefully, you'll like what you hear and share your thoughts as well.
