In this episode we review the classic fantasy anime series: The Record of Lodoss Wars, and consider how gaming influenced the series. We also look at how the Japanese perspective on RPGs was displayed in the program, and how this contrasts with western fantasy animation, and our own gaming experiences. 

That's right we're going full Heinlein, Asimov, and Sagan on these mutha truckas in the gaming space yooo!

Ivan was kind enough to brave the darker back alleys of Reddit to dredge up interesting questions about TTRPGS. Dave would have been happy to help if he didn't have the bad habit of starting unnecessary arguments in said social media spaces. We hope this is interesting and maybe even helpful.

We talk about games that have fallen out of much of the gaming community's collective memory. We consider the reasons it would be worthwhile to dig up old games, and try to get friends to play them.

We review one of our favorite rules light indie RPGs Wushu. The game of high flying action that never slows down and is only limited by a gaming groups' imagination.

NPCs: ya know all the other life forms that mill about trying to manage their own lives and have no interest whatsoever in your gaming adventure.
