Dekahedron is my podcast where I talk about my love of the tabletop RPG hobby.
It is released twice weekly, and each episode tries to be no more than 30 minutes long. Sometimes I get carried away, though.
The RPG topics range from OSR gameplay ideas, to newer games like Fudge and Dungeon World. I also discuss things table etiquette, and give honest RPG reviews.
The show is 100% ad free, and we never beg for your money.
The short version is that I already owned the domain name.
The long version is that I once wrote a public domain RPG. Because that game only used d10's, I named it Dekahedron. I picked the Greek deka- just to make it more searchable, trademark-able, and because he could get the domain name.

Joe is the podcast’s owner and main host. Joe has been gaming since the late 1970’s and began with the Holmes edition of Dungeons & Dragons. He quickly discovered that he liked DM'ing more than playing. Over time he discovered that he leans heavy towards low-crunch, rules-light games.
He writes a blog called the “Vagabond GM,” and is also the co-author of “Grimtooth’s Traps Too and Fudge,” appearing in the 2006 reprint of Flying Buffalo’s Grimtooth’s Traps Too.
Joe lives near Niagara Falls with his wife and a garden gnome.
Additonally the show has some recurring guests:
James learned to play the original D&D way back in the 1970’s while at Boy Scout camp. While Joe loves to be a GM, James loves to be a player. He enjoys immersive gameplay and rich game worlds. He lives in New England with his dog.
He is either a secret government spy, or very privacy minded. Whatever the reason, James has a fake Facebook profile named Richard.
Heathyr is the Joe's adult daughter who just started gaming in late 2022. She lives in the Midwest with numerous animals, and her husband Keith.
Keith is Heatyr’s husband, and is also new to gaming. Like Heathyr, he joins the show to share his growth in the hobby, and to provide a newcomers perspective.
The logo was conceived by Joe, who has the artistic ability of a drowning badger. The actual work was done by the very talented designkat.
The podcast's theme is “The Britons” by Kevin MacLeod who generously placed it into the public domain. (He also makes great graph paper!)
