Hey. Nate here. How are ya? Well, there's always time for new beginnings, I guess. After a long hiatus, Nerd Words is back. I consider this episode a stop-gap between what as and what will be. I am joined by Rachel. We chat about our impending move, some nasty stuff we encountered during the search, and how this podcast might change and adapt in the coming weeks and months. Thank you for listening! I hope you enjoy the episode.

In an effort to stay sane - and actually spend time with friends and family, we’ve begun doing somewhat regular Discord streaming parties. This week, we sat down and watched The Green Inferno, a modern take on the cannibal tribe exploitation films from the 70’s and 80’s. We also talk about the how and why we got interested in horror/B genre films, what constitutes one of these films, and more. We’ve dubbed our private view parties, “B Movies by Night,” in homage to the old Vampire: the...

Well, we’re still in the purgatory of social isolation. However, we take advantage of this bad situation and the wonders of the internet to have a few guests on! We talk at length about the dumbest thing Nathan has agreed to in some time: a really poorly conceived tattoo of another human’s face on his body. Additionally, we talk at length about Vampire: the Masquerade 5th edition, namely our personal issues with elder version power disparity. We also go in on Clan Malkavian, and more.

Hello friends and listeners. A lot of crazy has happened since our last podcast. Specifically, COVID-19 has become a global pandemic. Since February, local, state, and federal governments have called for unprecedented prevention measures including social distancing, shelter-in-place, and more. So, since many of us are home, we chat about how this time has changed our routines and what we’re doing to stay sane. We hope all of you are well in this strange and scary period. If you want more info...

n this episode, we jump back into a little conversation about Demon: the Fallen, a tabletop RPG by White Wolf studios.

n this episode, we review the New Blood Starter Pack for Vampire: the Masquerade fifth edition. Also, we talk about rambling, make passive/aggressive jokes, and talk about negativity in hobbies. We discuss switching things up to keep it interesting and Nate makes many references to the Shadowrun sixth edition Beginner Box. All things considered, it is a podcast. Of that you can be sure. Buy one of our shirts in February, 2020 to be entered to win a new copy of Chicago by Night for V5!

Hey everyone! We are back from our break to talk ABOUT our break. In this episode, we get gritty about teeth. We chat about Shadowrun, with no other purpose but to meander, and we talk about running and playing hunter games - both Hunters Hunted-style and Hunter: the Vigil. Thanks for staying with us through the holiday! We hope you enjoy us being back as much as we enjoy being back.

Sorry we’re a little late on this one. Bob and Nate return to have a chat pretty much exclusively about our experiences with the diabolical sect of vampires called, “The Sabbat.” We talk about some of the issues we’ve had, we’ve seen others have, and how we’ve worked them out or gotten around them. Shout out to all the folks having fun this weekend for The Night in Question in Austin! Be safe and have a blast!

Welcome back to the podcast. This week, I (Nathan) am joined by my buddy, Chance Gibbony. We talk about Shadowrun 6th edition, AKA Shadowrun: Sixth World. I talk about running my friends through the Sixth World Beginner Box, as well as the perils I faced as a GM new to the updated world of Shadowrun. Chance talks about running his teenage son through a World of Darkness campaign set in the Victorian Age.

This episode, we give a huge thank you to Dakota Slay for donating a copy of Demon: the Descent for us to review. We present that review (spoiler: it is incomplete) this episode. FINALLY. After that, we talk about horror movies, the lack of October-themed episodes this year, trying to traverse an increasingly sensitive social landscape, and more. Purchase

Nerd Words: A podcast where two fellas shoot the shit about stuff of minor pop-culture relevance. In this episode, we digest topics: horror movies like Us, online gaming, Bloodlines 2, and how were totally going to review Kult 4th edition next episode. Some topics we expand on, some we just blow hot air. Anyways, thanks for listening to us ferment chaos!

Welcome back! We took a month off to prepare, go to Gen Con, work on other things, etc! We’ve returned to discuss all of those things with you. We talk about our Indy Gen Con meetup, games we played, folks we met and the terrible service you’re likely to find in the Circle City.

In this episode of Nerd Words, Nate and Rachel talk about our upcoming meet up at Gen Con 2019, the epic harbinger, Sabbat OWbN, and finally the most recent season of Stranger Things. Make sure to get your free tickets to BOTH our meetups, August 1st!

Hello all! We’re back with another stunningly adequate podcast! This episode, we try to tickle multiple fancies with a double shot of reviews. In hopes to lure all you Vampire: the Masquerade fans, we start with a Storyteller’s Vault review. We take a look at New Blood; a Dark Ages supplemental scenario by Jacob Klünder. We do this review FIRST, that way you don’t have to sift through part two. Part two is a spoiler-rich review of Avengers: Endgame (if the cover photo didn’t give it away.)...

With the announcement of Bloodlines 2 this week, our expected podcast took a different path. I mean, we’re mostly a V:tM podcast anyways, so this had to be pretty obvious. We talk at length about the original Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines and speculate up a storm in our vaguely informed manner about the new game. Also, we talk about the Captain Marvel movie as well!

In this episode, we dish on the real Storyteller’s Secrets - the nightmares of storytelling/ running a game. We’ve all had them and we’ve all been there. We go deep on some of the worst times we’ve had doing one of the things we love the most. In this episode, we also give a review for “Madison by Night,” a supplement for Vampire: the Masquerade. If you came for the review only, skip ahead to 38:00 to get right to it!

They Came From Beneath The Sea! is a new game encompassing the wonder, horror, thrills, and hilarity of 1950s science fiction.
