Save for Half podcast
Save for Half is a podcast about Old School Games and the modern role playing games inspired by them. Join DM Mike, DM Liz, and DM Corbett as they discuss and review all the RPGs that made the 70s and 80s great, as well as their modern descendants and supplements.
- 44 minutes 41 secondsFound in the Ruins episode #2: “Pulp Apocalypse Review”
The 1970s and 80s were a time of apocalyptic fears, and what better way to promote them than through cheap paperbacks? That’s right, your favorite Wastelanders Boom Mike and Doc Benny discuss this time as reflected in the book Pulp Apocalypse; a collection of synopses and interviews brought to you by the Paperback Warrior and his crew to scratch the itch of any Road Warrior. But probably no cannibalism. Well, not much anyway!
So, take a listen and keep in mind we are spoiler-rich! Especially for 40-year old books and movies…

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away… Ok, 37 years ago and not so far away the Star Wars RPG was first published by West End Games. We consider the game itself, the idea of dice pools, and answer that age-old question of why are there no ladders to buy in the Star Wars Universe? Come for the enthusiasm of DM Corbett for memories of playing the game; stay for DM Mike’s surprising lack of ‘Bahs’ in this show!
No Rebels were harmed in the making of this podcast, because the Stormtroopers couldn’t hit them!

What’s this, you ask? It’s a side project podcast that covers Post-Apocalyptic books, games, movies, and what not. Hosts Boom Mike and Doc Benny take this first episode to introduce themselves and tell you their interpretations of the Post-Apocalypse. What is it, what isn’t it, and what will be covered in the future on this sorta-monthly podcast by the folks who bring you Save For Half!

Get ready True Believers for a first…a Prequel Save for Half! We’ll be reviewing the West End Games Star Wars D6 RPG in episode 53, but first we invite the Curmudgeon in the Cellar himself Tim Kask on to talk about 1977’s Star Wars and its impact on us and the RPG community. Yes, some of us are really old enough to remember Star Wars when it just referred to a single film instead of the Disney juggernaut it is today. Thrills, Chills, and the answer to that age old question of ‘Why is Luke Skywalker looking down the business end of a light sabre?’
No Jedi were harmed in the making of this sideshow, because they were already canonically dead.

What’s this? A game of Bronze-Age fantasy that mixes ancient cultures from Sumeria to the Celts? A unique world steeped in legend named Glorantha? Guest host Game Master Ed to explain the actual play of this game? Madness! Yet your Fab 4 are here discussing one of the second wave RPGs that came out in the late 1970s and was arguably the one that gave AD&D the biggest run for its money. Written by Steve Perrin and friends, this game has it all: Spell points, percentile skills, lack of classes, and a combat system that actually encourages you to avoid combat if possible. It’s all here, along with Ducks as a player race. What more could you want?
No Ducks were harmed in the making of this podcast, since it was Rabbit Season!

Get ready to gird your Oomph and Marbles, as the kids in the Halfling Clubhouse lead you on a delve into 70s and 80s kids’ shows, both real and imaginary! This show we’re looking at Dare-Luck Club, published by Lou Hoefer and Dandyline Games. Gangsters, aliens, and pirate treasure await you in this RPG for adults about the childhood that never was.
We also try and answer that age-old question of gaming, do video games really make you a criminal?
No trading cards were harmed in the making of this podcast, because we were saving up to get duct tape!

Grab your sombreros and get ready for a hijacked episode of Save For Half. This episode DM Corbett has taken over and brought in everyone’s favorite wacky sitcom next door neighbors, Luau Lou! What happened to the rest of the hosts, you may ask? We reply, you ask too many questions.
Sit back and enjoy an interview with Luau Lou talking about his new game that is getting game tested at the upcoming North Texas Con, Movies Till Dawn. We learn a little history about Lou’s background, what he does for a living, and how he got into gaming, along with anecdotes about his most popular game The Dare Luck Club.
Will your favorite hosts come back? Is the Save For Half Podcast done for? Will they ever review a game again? Just to ease the tension, yes, but keep listening to know for sure.
No ’80s kids were harmed in the making of this podcast, since they were all off fighting pirates!
