341 AD&D Initiative & Fantasy vs Sci Fi or Why Podcast Back Catalogs Matter

Response to questions & comments from Cody (No Save For You) https://anchor.fm/nosaveforyou and Daniel (Bandit’s Keep) https://anchor.fm/daniel-norton plus an argument to leave old podcasts on the air.

Cody asks about AD&D Initiative and I recommend he listen to Chgowiz’s episodes on the topic from The Dungeon Master’s Handbook podcast https://anchor.fm/thedungeonmastershandbook specifically episode 22 https://anchor.fm/thedungeonmastershandbook/episodes/Episode-22---Demystifying-ADD-Combat---Surprise-and-Initiative-e9fo32 and episode 25 https://anchor.fm/thedungeonmastershandbook/episodes/Episode-25---ADD-Combat-Demystified---Initiative-for-Spellcasting--Charging-eaaja5 You should also check out his blog CHICAGOWIZ'S GAMES https://chgowiz-games.blogspot.com 

Daniel comments about the juxtaposition of fantasy and sci-fi media & games so I give my thoughts and point him towards Thoughteater podcast https://anchor.fm/thoughteater & blog https://frothsofdnd.blogspot.com/ specifically episode 184 https://anchor.fm/thoughteater/episodes/Frothcast-184-Five-Minute-Friday-Nobody-is-Playing-Sci-Fi-Games-eqklii/a-a495ej0 and the corresponding blog post https://frothsofdnd.blogspot.com/2021/02/thought-eater-podcast-five-minute_19.html  

I also reference the Hindsightless podcast https://anchor.fm/joe-richter9 and Evil Jeff’s discussion on the popularity of fantasy on Minions & Musings in this episode from 2019 https://anchor.fm/eviljeff/episodes/There-arent-any-elves-in-the-wild-west-----or--answering-a-question-posed-by-Jason-e9a4nk
