Love Thy Nerd exists to be the love of Jesus to nerds and nerd culture.
At LTN we love nerds. In fact, we’re nerds ourselves. We also love Jesus and believe in what he asked us to do: love our neighbors. Whether you are a gamer, a Trekkie, a comic nerd, a Whovian, an otaku, a brony, a roleplayer, a LARPer, or any other flavor of nerd, we think you are valuable and wonderful. Unfortunately, Christians haven’t always done a great job of loving their nerdy neighbors. We want to change that.
LTN wants to speak redemption, hope, truth, and love into the parts of nerd culture that have often been alienated, demonized, dismissed, or simply ignored by Christians. We also want to educate Christians on the value of nerd culture and how we can love our nerdy neighbors better.

They're actually NOT greedy. If they were, they wouldn't make stupid business decisions that would cause them to lose people and therefore profit in the long run. It's called short-sightedness, not greed.
Thanks for reviewing this game - glad to see it is accessible for noobs like myself.
Really great episode! God willing I’ll meet you both one day. All glory to God for what He is doing & moving through all the nerd related ministries around the world
Sadly it doesn’t look like backers will ever get their expansions after so much time has passed.
Was this channel sold or something? What happened?
Not sold. We had an ARG event in our Discord and documented it.
I’m super excited for DC 20!
Every round in a fight I was using luck points as a fighter. I build them up so frequently that it is nearly apart of my standard turn
We definitely should have used them more!!
It was Core fighting system but since no one like that the system became the Black Flag Roleplaying system. The game using this system is called Tales of the Valiant!
I do not understand why this game is not getting more attention from the community! It plays like 5e, it's from a trusted company. It's not WoTC. It's what we need when we need it. People really are just dumb sheep following the herd.
Yeah I have so far seen like three people doing videos on it. One guy said he tried to get approved by Kobold Press to put out officially approved content. He was told no because he didn't have enough viewers. But isn't a small content creator better than no one talking about it? I am starving for ToV content
People still haven't received their physical rewards, so once those arrive I'm sure there will be more hype. Also, it's got to filter into the VTTs online before it gains traction there, so it's barely had visibility yet. I expect more in the next month. 😉
I think ToV is great and it has lot of potential and is cross compatible with d&d 2014 however currently there is DC 20 hype train and the paid sponsored videos for the 2024 rules set… But I think that with other content creators and there are some new actual plays coming may help boost it..
Because it's just 5E with some boring tweeks without fixing any of the real issues. It fell so far from what the original was supposed to be. Why bother? They had a very big opportunity and failed. Wait a year and you will be able to download their rules for free. Go big or go home and after WoTC backtracked on their OGL stance, KP decided to pretend to go big but in the end they will just go home with their 'tales' between their legs.
Hey there are going to folks who like to suck the joy out of everything so please don’t be disheartened by their comments..
We need a Mick Foley biopic starring Jack Black!
🤣 Of course Coker had to throw in a Green Lantern reference. OK, now this I can get behind. Where is/was GL!? I'm looking at you, James Gunn...
lol, yes he did. Enjoy the rest of the doc series!
EagleGarrett: "And God said "you're doing this thing, why am I not a bigger part of it?" OUCH. Thank you both for answering His call. Your presence in this space has been, and will continue to be, an inspiration and encouragement in so many ways.
Love!!
DrHeals is echoing in the audio?
Doom is a GM mechanic. You can find more information in the Monster Vault. Happy gaming.
Thanks for the update! We ended up finding it after the recording ended...naturally, either way a dope mechanic that gives the GM a bit of a "trick up the sleeve" to spice up encounters. Great addition!
Great additional tool for GMs! Thanks for watching the video and letting us know where to find it! Looking forward to my kickstarter rewards and even more ToV products to come! Thanks for a great system!
I think I like the original idea of Doom points, using them to do special attacks etc... than the new version which is just allowing you to so a few non specific monster effects
I CANT WAIT FOR MY PHYSICAL COPY, AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR WHATS TO COME FOR FUTRUE TOV PRODUCTS
SAME!!! 😀
Same!
I've gotta say, Tales of the Valiant was a blast. Although, we do still need some info on Doom Point, let us know what your thoughts on them are!
We DID find the doom points as an optional rule in the Monster Vault, which we didn't use for our session. Unlike other systems, it's a fixed number of points per encounter rather than points that the DM accrues.
I hope Sucker Punch releases some actual Japanese characters right when Ubisoft releases their DEI ESG game. It’d be a stark contrast. Today’s woke culture and agendas are antithetical to the gospel. No question. If those who are aligned with the gospel as “dumb” count me as the dumbest lol like Peter said wash my whole body Lord! I don’t think it’s a good game to be aligning myself with personally because it would be supporting a dirtbag company. Who promotes equity but emits greed and hatred in actuality to most of the world who thinks Japanese people should be highlighted here. A small minority make it a huge deal but the small voices are on the other side too and have arguably much more power. These are facts so sorry if this doesn’t break through to you. Don’t forget the micro transactions that’ll be here. Probably attract some whales too. Not so ethical if you ask me. If you really understood the core principles of CRT, the 5 tenants, you’d understand that race, specifically the black race, is the one that’s propped up. Just food for thought. I got more but I’ll leave it.
Honored to be on the podcast. Thank you guys for the great interview, was a blast and a blessing!
Good night, sweet princess. 🫡
Hey, if the next total solar eclipse would be going over Disney World Orlando, it would also be over (45 minutes away) Kennedy Space Center. What cooler place could there be to experience that?
Visions was good because it came out Japan and international studios rather than Hollywood.
People who want a Japanese samurai in the game set in Japan are dumb. OK.
Incredible podcast!!!
Great message Bubba :)
First time listener here, just thought I would mention the sound volume differences between you two. The person on the right is significantly louder than the person on the left, which made listening a bit jarring at times. Good content though, thanks for the discussion!
Wow, just hearing about this dnd beyond change now. I can't believe this hasn't gotten more attention. My group has spent tons of money buying stuff ala carte that no one would have bothered picking up a whole book for. Obviously I don't speak for everyone's table, but it seems doubtful my table will buy anything off of that site again
I periodically would order a race or a feat ala carte from dnd beyond. I will never buy a full digital book from them. I’ll just go back to pen and paper. Very disappointed in wotc’s move here.
I've refused to use D&DB from the beginning. It was a useful tool but I hate the idea of not actually owning the products I pay for. Content can easily be edited and the older verson is lost. I specifically purchased Curse of Strad when they announced that they were going to be releasing a newer version. Yes, the old version has some problematic content but that is part of the original setting. It is well within the DMs power to make changes if they deem them needed. All of my books are physical. They cannot be edited when I'm not looking and they represent the history of D&D as well. The good and the bad. I also use the DMs guild for a lot of amazing 3rd party things. There has been some amazing things I've picked up on the market place that made for some amazing sessions. Wizards has burned all of their good will and have done nothing to gain it back. Hasbro only cares about the bottom line and just like in the video game sphere, income over product prevails. I truly think we are in the beginning of an independent movement. From D&D to video games, more and more small companies are popping up and they are refusing to sell to the mega corps. They are creating great things because that us their goal. Not to make the shareholders happy with the returns but to make something enjoyable for their players. As for Critical Role, yes, they have now become a company. However, they are not hurting for money even if it's only 75% of their income. It is smart on their end to cut out the middle man. Since they are keeping all their twitch content available it doesn't effect the normal viewer and those with money to burn can enjoy the new content. I personally stopped watching CR halfway through Season 2. I didn't like the characters as much and the story was all over the place. Plus I didn't have thr free time to devote to 3+ hours of watching each week. However, I wonder if this move on their end is a sign that the audience has reached its plateau.
Wizards getting greedy? Well Hasbro as a whole. 20% of it's staff fired before Christmas. I like D&D, but I don't need the D&D system. There are so many other systems.
Sad but true! It's why I'm particularly excited for Tales of the Valiant! I'm considering moving my 5e campaign over to it even! Though I'm also deeply interested in Dragonbane, Daggerheart, & DC20, lol.
Absolutely. 5e will always have a special place for me since that's where I started but I've lost confidence in WOTC. Definitely making these other systems a lot more appealing.
@@whitefoxplays Love Kobold Press! Curious about Dragonbane. Duck people crack me up. 😆
@@BryanLeeDavidson Dragonbane is great and easy to learn!! The box set is so worth it and has the complete rules!
@@DrHeals And there are so many worth trying really. For me, I ask what's great for solo play. For someone else it may be how do they bring an anime feeling to a game? There are many things that can fit a game in great ways.
I'm mostly system wise moving mostly from D&D to Age and Savage Worlds. My solo games are in those systems.
Awesome!!! I've heard good things about them!
@@whitefoxplays They are pretty great. They plug into games, when I don't fell like using the system it comes with very well. I've even use Savage Worlds to replace the systems in some choose your own adventure style books. I will be suing Age to plug in to D&D stated type games.
great interview, Amber Rocks!
Nice episode, your defense of Mario was well said but I think largely unnecessary. Lara Croft was put at number 1 for political reasons, not based on her actual impact on gaming.
Great talk CJ!!!!
Thanks!
I really needed to hear this. A quote that resonates with me a LOT and says something similar, at least to me, is the following from a song: "Oh, oh, but I made it alive The sun's starting to rise Oh, oh, these are beautiful times This fight of my life is so hard So hard, so hard But I'm gonna survive Oh, oh, these are beautiful times".---Owl City, song Beautiful Times.
Very nice! Glad the Lord could speak through me! Blessings!
Good show. Charles knows what's going on.
It was a real pleasure to talk ministry with Bubba! Thanks for having me! ~ twwk
No way am I seeing LOTR in the theater without a GUARANTEED intermission. My bladder won't last 3 hours. 😂
Thanks for the great talk. I was on Season 2. A few things: The brick pit is organized by parts first, then color. We didn't have a massage therapist (COVID restrictions?) The shooting schedule notes are mostly correct, except for interview timing and days off. Let me know if you'd ever want to come back to the topic with someone who's been in the show.
Thank you for the notes! I will pass along the offer to the hosts!
Great insights in this!
Because Black widow took the place of grimora dying for the soul stone. If they brought her back the timeline would change and thanos would win. Someone had to sacrifice themselves for the soul stone and since grimora was pulled from the timeline she never made that sacrifice in the first place.
hmmmmm... I dunno 'bout that, especially if the stone is returned by Cap at the end. Feels like we should have a way.
They can but the haven’t yet. Comics is all about how it’s written
Oh I know they can bring her back in a comic book fashion but to stay in the timeline they are in, they can’t bring her back or it would clip that timeline. The way I see them doing it is finding a better way to defeat thanos in the future and go back in time to defeat him without needing the infinity stones.
My 6 year old has played No Thank You Evil, Basic Fantasy RPG, and Dragonbane. Dragonbane is about his favorite though he does enjoy the free-wheeling nature of No Thank You Evil.
The bestiary is FANTASTIC, by the way.
One of my favorite systems to run.
W wong! i love him! hes such a nice person im so glad im part of his community! been there for over a year now and hes so good! W wong. <3

🔥🔥🔥
Can you imagine the agony we'd have to endure if Endgame was scheduled to release in 2020 instead? Same goes for Rise of Skywalker.
The horror
