After Hours: Kill the Bean, Drink His Blood

In this review filled episode, we go over FOUR whole books:
- Hellsgate, a Dark Conspiracy adventure for astronauts, psychics, and cyborg escapees.
- Broncosaurus Rex: Cretasus Adventure Guide, where Confederates enslave and eat intelligent dinosaurs.
- Dawn of DNA: A Villains and Vigilantes adventure involving a sperm bank robbery.
- Spelljammer: Concordance of Arcane Space – learn about how incredibly flammable outer space is in D&D.
We also discuss how movies are really other movies, like how Road House is really a retelling of the Wicker Man. Sean Bean is actually a character trapped in Stay Tuned, which explains why he gets killed so often.

WoD The Heck: Demon the Fallen
by •
Demon the Fallen was one of the last games in the Old World of Darkness and boy is it a game. Play a fallen angel returned to earth and do…things? First read 80 pages of in-game fiction to get a sense of the very detailed history of the setting that totally contradicts a lot of the other games in the Old World of Darkness, then we can talk.
Also read this promo comic actually produced by White Wolf to promote the game.
