October is spoopy skeleton month, so Aaron, Tom, and I answer your questions about horror!
Note: There was some problems recording this episode, resulting in some occasional crackle – I have reduced it but was unable to entirely remove it. Sorry! I will take greater care to prevent that in our next episode.
Too many RPGs have bloated skill lists, but not the games of the Palladium Megaverse. Special guest Chris, Aaron, Tom, and I go through some of the Palladium games and discuss the merits of their skills from fly fishing to entomological medicine. Find out which game has the worst and best (?) skills!
This month, Aaron, Tom, and I talk about fantasy and sci-fi novels (including graphic novels!) plus questions about Apocalypse World, and other RPG questions.

Aaron, Tom, and I recently saw The Predator, the latest flick in the venerable sci-fi franchise. It was a hot mess, to put it lightly. So, how else can we improve it? Add another hot mess, of course! Each of us took some elements from Synnibarr, the classic fantasy heartbreaker RPG.
I also review Edge-On, an adventure anthology for the Cyberspace RPG. It’s weird.
If you had to lead a squad of soldiers in the Warhammer 40k universe, who would they be and what is their mission? That’s the question I put to Aaron, Tom, and Shaun. I also reviewed two fine books:
Everyone is excited about the great crossover event happening in a major fictional universe. Of course, I’m talking about the Supernatural/Scooby Doo crossover. I heard something about some crossover movie but who cares about that?
Anyway, Shaun, Tom, and I got together to make our crossover RPG characters. We used random character creation tables from different games to generate our team – from Maid to Beyond the Supernatural.
A lot of RPGs talk about the ecology of dungeons, but what does that really mean? In this episode, we got special guest Jeff Barber of Biohazard Games to discuss this topic, plus some more reviews!
Temple of Blood: a 3E D&D module
Gramercy Island: Tom discusses some of the odder characters within it.

I experienced several new means of transportation in my recent vacation, including tuk-tuks and catamarans. It made me wonder what vehicles in RPGs would work best in the real world? Aaron, Shaun, Tom, and I discuss some options. We also review:
In our first episode, Tom, Aaron, Shaun, and special guest Thad examine one of Steven Seagal’s more recent efforts: Force of Execution. It’s about, uh, crime? It’s on Netflix, if you dare want to watch it.
If you are missing Wod The Heck, I recently wrote a blog post about why we are switching shows.
Did you know some people try to hypnotize themselves into believing they are ponies from My Little Pony? Well, I’m not going to link it. But it’s terrible and real. Aaron, Tom, Shaun, and I discuss better things those people should try to hypnotize themselves into being. We also review the following books:
