Joethelawyer’s Analog Mancave – Joe is an old bastard who puts out videos on D&D, both old school and new. He’s been playing D&D since 1984. Joe is currently wrapping up a 4 ½ year 5e campaign and is about to start up a long long very long 2e campaign. He’s doing a series of videos on how he’s prepping for it, and the campaign is expected to launch in the next couple of months. No, you won’t ever see these games livestreamed. The lack of dignity and decorum in these games would shock, confuse and horrify anyone under 50.
He sometimes does videos with his brother Mike, called the Joe and Bro Firepit Show, where they talk about the D&D games they each play and run, while sitting in his brother’s backyard around his firepit. Roscoe the dog, known as “Squirrelbane” to his enemies, sometimes visits while they yammer on. There’s usually much alcohol and other semi-legal things consumed during these shows, so they aren’t for the faint of heart. Often, they aren’t even coherent or comprehensible. He does unboxings, product reviews—both new and retro, and plans on reading all the books in Gary’s Appendix N soon. God knows he has enough books…he may as well put them to use.
This week’s video:
In this video I show you my DM'ing game bag setup and pull out everything so you can see what I bring to in-person games.
