The Nerd Fathers
An exploration of all things Nerd with a twist of some good old fashioned fatherly wisdom... or maybe just curmudgeonly gripes. We’re the Nerd Fathers and we’re here to plumb, poke, and pontificate over movies, video games, tabletop games, and all manner of nerdy stuff. Coming at things from all different angles and just as often disagreeing as we agree, we’re going to dissect and debate from our varied experiences, chasing down rabbit trails, fan theories, and every little bit of lore we can get our hands on. Come join us for an exploration and celebration of stories told well and the nerd done right!

Chris and Aaron, in preparation for playing a very popular CRPG that's recently come out, are plumbing their experiences in the great RPGs they've played in days of yore. From wandering through the streets of Amn, hunting for the Star Forge, or claiming the destiny of the Nerevarine, we explore some of the great games which they have enjoyed and have shaped them. And they might spend a little bit of time salivating over games to come, but either way come on in and join the fun.
