With the Hasbro/WotC GenCon announcements fresh, we bring you a little bit of a rant about just that.  It's no secret we're not the biggest fans of Hasbro/WotC, and well, things get said.

This week I'm joined by 2 parts of the creative team behind Duginthroat Divided, which is an adventure location designed for Old School Essentials. It's a modular, drop-in location for lots and lots of old-school adventuring fun, and would easily port to any OSR system of your choice! It's currently on Kickstarter, though if you're coming to this later, it will release in the usual places as well!

  Step back for a moment to 1993, and remember the awe that filled your mind when you got those first glimpses of that ill-fated park, hidden out on an island.  I know I'm not the only one who's wanted to explore that as an RPG playground, and until now, the choices have been rather limited.  But the ttRPG world is ever-adapting, and this week we bring you a conversation with Zac Goins, the lead on a project called Raptor Ruckus! It's Mork-Borg-y deliciousness, served up with a giant helping of pre-historic giants!
Y'all, this is too cool to not check out.

This week we're joined by Wil, lead designer on a team that's re-imagining an older game, called Tribe 8, published by Dream Pod 9.  He and his team, which includes Logan, co-host of The Story Told podcast, have taken their love of Tribe 8 and meshed it with the modern Forged in the Dark mechanics to bring this deep, rich setting back to life! It's dark, supernatural, post-apocalyptic fun, waiting to be experienced by anyone who dares.
Currently, they're running a Kickstarter campaign to fund the final art and logistics of the game, and Wil and I had a wonderful chat about it, so listen, enjoy, and, if you're so inclined, support!

It's that time of year again (well actually a little late, but we cover that early on!)The 2025 edition of the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo is upon us, and it's happening October 3-5th at the Monroville Convention Center, just outside of Pittsburgh proper.
This week I'm joined by Wizz, one of the organizers of the show to have a chat about all the fun and coolness that you can expect to find if you should choose to come to the show!  And, if you look around enough, or ask a few folks, you could probably find me as well! (Look for the short, wide guy in the Van Halen print Hawaiian shirt).

Imagine if you will, a game inspired by Judge Dredd, Robocop, GWAR, and the Toxic Avenger.
Oh, wait, you don't have to. It already exists!
I have gotten to play it, and I own a copy of it, and it's a whole lot of fun, and this week, I'm joined by it's creator Brian Shutter! So come hear about all the cool, neo-80s inspired, post-apocalyptic fun that can await you, should you choose to try it!

This week I'm joined by someone who I've had the pleasure of meeting a couple times in-person, and who is also behind a service that I very much enjoy using.
This week it's a conversation with JJ from the team behind RPGSessions.com, which is a website/service/VTT specifically designed for the narrative dice system games (Star Wars and Genesys).
While I love playing games online, I don't particularly love using VTTs, but RPG Sessions is kind of an exception to that, but to find out more, you'll just have to listen to the conversation!
