This week we've got all kinds of fun! We talk with the creator of a cool new game, we grant honorary "Steve-dom" to a very cool guest, and we just have some good fun chatting!We're joined by Clifton Lambert of Fragging Unicorn Games to talk about his current project that's on Kickstarter called HellSlayers. You'll have to listen to get more details, but HellSlayers is a (mostly) Mork Borg powered game, inspired by the classic video game Doom, as well as elements of Roguelike, and a few other things! Folks, it's cool as hell! Links:

This week we're doing another "system overview" episode, and this time it's the "Year Zero Engine" that powers many games from Free League, including Tales From The Loop, Coriolis, Mutant Year Zero, Vaesen, Alien, Twilight 2000, and Blade Runner, to name a few. To do so, we're joined by veteran Danish gamer and GM Jacob Sorensen. So sit back, grab a drink, and enjoy as we talk some cool Swedish game design.

This week we're talking about the current Kickstarter from High Level Games, a game called Army Men, and we're joined by the head of High Level Games, Josh Heath (also of Werewolf: the Podcast and the OpCast), and the lead designer for the game, Neil Litherland.
Army Men is a 5e driven game about playing in the world of those classic molded figures we all played with, and can still find so easily to this day. The system has been tweaked and prodded for the setting, and having seen the manuscript, the game just looks like awesomely good fun!
