Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.
You may have heard the name "Braunstein" if you have ever looked up the history of D&D and TTRPGs before. Many have heard of it in this hobby, but plenty know very little (if anything) about what a Braunstein actually is. I decided to see what resources are out there online for this radical kind of game that was the precursor to TTRPGs as we know them, and there are lots of resources. There has also been a lot of internet fighting and drama over the right way to play/run one of these games, but I'm not going into any of that. Instead I wanted to provide a good overview and rough idea of what this type of game is and why it is so important to the history of the hobby. I also wanted to discuss briefly some modern examples and how it can be utilized today. Tune in to get a bit of a history lesson and hear what advice and resources I was able to find to explore this type of game a little more.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
