Family Chemistry
A comment from Eli on our chemistry at the table sparked me to reflect on the history of the podcast hosts in gaming. Consider this:Mystery Meat*, Chico Sticks** and Lil' Gyro have been gaming together for, I believe, 23 years.
I (T-bone), first gamed with Lil' Gyro and Mystery Meat on Superbowl Sunday, 2001, almost 20 years ago. Lil' Gyro blew up New Jersey and ended the campaign the very first night.***
Lil' Gyro, Duck Sauce and I played in a Bloodbowl League, starting around 1995, I think.****
Although we didn't start gaming with Americano until later, we have known him through a mutual friend since roughly 1990. (Bief!)
So Eli, our chemistry comes from 20 years of gaming together, hanging together, in many cases living together, drinking each other's beer, sleeping with each other's wives...wait, I've said too much...

Great post T-Bone, I'll throw in a few tweaks, just for posterity:
*Little Gyro has been rolling dice with Mystery Meat a shockingly long amount of time, going all the way back to fourth grade with Twilight 2000 and moving on to classic D&D, and classic Battletech (except back then we just called it "Battletech"). So that's 25 years of gaming together.
**Little Gyro met Chicko Stick during Gyro's junior year in high school, and began gaming instantly with Rogue Trader and AD&D. So there's another 20 year gaming relationship.
***That's just bad game mastering. Don't blame the player, blame the lazy GM!
****That Blood Bowl league actually started in 1994, but we had played Necromunda and Star Grunt II even prior to that with Duck Sauce, so there's another seventeen years right there.
