Welcome to the Taking20 Podcast. I'm your baritone blessed host, Jeremy Shelley. This
is Episode 0, What the Hell Is This?
Taking20 will be a series of short, bite-sized episodes, no more than 20 minutes long, that
you can digest in a single sitting. We all have multiple podcasts we listen to, and I'd
love for you to add this one to your rotation, so I keep this one nice and short. Please subscribe and rate us on iTunes, Stitcher,
Google Play, or wherever you're listening to this idiotic drivel. A word to our grizzled RPG
veterans out there. Much of this content will be geared towards the newer player, or DM. Some of
the concepts may get a duh reaction from you. Hopefully you'll still find some good educational
gold nuggets here and there. So why am I doing this? I've been gaming and dungeon mastering
since the Dungeons and Dragons Redbox, 1982 or so. I've made every mistake there is to make,
short of using my dungeon master's guide and book as toilet paper. I've played through the
satanic panic all the way through tabletop RPGs modern resurgence. I still play in one campaign, DM two others, as well as various one-shots for kids, friends, and RPG players both
old and new alike. I've experienced with every edition of Dungeons & Dragons from first all the
way through fifth, both editions of Pathfinder, Starfinder, MechWarrior, GURPS, Traveler,
multiple editions of Shadowrun, Star Wars, Paranoia, Cyberpunk 2020, Marvel Super Heroes,
and even going way back to an RPG that used Play-Doh called Kleorama. This hobby has brought
me so much joy in my life that my hope is that by listening to this, others give it a try and
love it too. So sit back, take off your shoes, take off your pants, take off your fake human
skin and relax as your normal lizard-y self. Go have a listen to some of the released episodes and then roll some dice.
Let's learn together so that your next game is your best game.
