Living up to our “modern games inspired by them” tag line, we’re covering a relatively new kid on the block (???) of the RPG scene, the Shadowdark game by Kelsey Dionne. This award winning RPG took Kickstarter by storm and marries Old School mindsets with New School mechanics to reach a level that even DM Mike can’t “Bah” (though DM Corbett might)! Thrill to the use of Advantage/Disadvantage! Chill at the thought of more undead than you can shake a Wand of Orcus at, and bask in a review that only your Halfling Foursome can provide!
No reskinned monsters were harmed in the making of this podcast, not even the Eldritch Catfish!

Let’s talk about something safe…Cannibalism! Like it or not, it comes up in virtually every Post-Apocalyptic tale you can imagine. Beyond the inevitable questions of “would you or wouldn’t you”, how do these tales treat the ramifications of engaging in this cultural taboo? What games deal with it, and how? Is there a such thing as a “Good Cannibal”? Come for the deli, stay for the Anthrax Ripple!

Here we have an Advanced Dungeons & Dragons product that’s Licensed to Pulp! Yes, it’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser’s city of Lankhmar, the home base of the two ne’er-do-wells from author Fritz Lieber’s fantasy stories of the mid-20th century. Is it a location worthwhile for adventuring? Are there mysteries, foes, and most of all — loot — for your player characters to find? Come for the Red Lantern District, stay for the Invincible Overlord! Not that one. Honest!
No sentient rat civilizations were harmed in the making of this podcast. Ok, that’s not true but they’re Evil so who cares!

Greetings, Comrades! Today we discuss that great adversary of yesterday and today, the Red Hordes of Communism. For good or ill, they are the bugaboos of apocalyptic fiction and films from The People of the Ruins by Shanks to the movie remake of Red Dawn. How did they arise? How have they changed over the years? And most importantly of all, are they better or worse than bikers?
So, take a listen and keep in mind we are Spoiler-rich! Especially for some 40+ year old books and movies…
