Join us for this special mini-episode in which David shares an insight gleaned from reading a 33-year-old defunct game magazine, leading to a (hopefully) insightful conversation about the differences between the gaming culture of the early 90s and today, and why this podcast exists in the first place.

As part of our continuing coverage of the World of Darkness, we hone in on Vampire: The Masquerade—what makes it cool, some of our favorite bits of lore, and how the setting and system combine to evoke a game of personal horror.
Big thanks to Rainy for tackling the readings this series!

We're wrapping up Season 2 with a deep, deep dive into the IP juggernaut known as the World of Darkness!
By necessity, we mostly focus on the world and history of the various Vampire RPGs, but hopefully give you, dear listener, a taste of the truly wild variety of game settings (and systems!) that exist under the umbrella of the WoD.
Our most challenging topic yet!

It's another one-shot System Spotlight! This time, David talks about his on-again, off-again love affair with GURPS, and why you might want to check it out for yourself!
Small correction: It looks like SJG is slowly rolling out color versions of their POD supplements. Hurray!

We're getting set to drop the final system spotlight of Season 2 (World of Darkness!), but first a minisode, if you will, talking about ACTION INTERNATIONAL, a game co-created by our very own David Larkins.
Hear what makes this homage to 80s martial arts action movies special, and head on over to Kickstarter and back it if it sounds like your kind of action!

David and Kenny sit down to discuss what constitutes the "xenomorph" genre in media and games, and take a quasi-informed look at other RPGs inhabiting that space (pun intended).

Podcaster, gamer extraordinaire, and friend of the show Rainy joins us for a discussion on why she loves the Alien RPG, as well as her perspectives on the game both as a player and Game Mother.
