Kyle and John honor the work of game designer Jennell Jaquays today by talking about one of John's all time favorite adventure modules: The Enchanted Wood, for SPI's DragonQuest RPG from 1981.

Kyle is back, refreshed, and ready to go! We discuss some wonderful email and Splatphone messages, and generally have a silly time. Happy 2024!

Kyle is off hatching nefarious plans with the Cloud Curio Cohort, so Andy and Matt join John to talk about early RPG influences, and how they shaped the games we run today.

With Kyle busy, busy, busy with the final Monstrous illustrations, John invites two former guests (Andy Rau, and Matt Wilson) to talk about three John Carpenter movies: "The Apocalypse Trilogy". Please enjoy this bonus episode.

Kyle's dander is up about what he has been hearing about the MCDM RPG on the internet. We reluctantly wander into the "OGL Fiasco", and then review our gaming life for 2023

Our friend Ben Donaldson joins the show to talk about the game he is working on: Wick and Wander - A post-post-apocalypse pastoral punk PbtA card based table top RPG. Say that five times fast.

It is finally here folks. We talk about Table Top RPG design, using Free League's Lord of the Rings Roleplaying for 5E as a lens for our discussion.
