Axe of the Blood God: An RPG Podcast

As Canadian kid's game show "UH-OH" character Punisher once said; IT'S SLIME TIME.

Kat, Nadia, Eric, and special guest Cam Hawkins discuss the newest DQ from SE. Is the HD-2D remake of Famicom classic Dragon Quest III the definitive version? Is it a good jumping off point for new players of the series? Did you know it's actually Dragon Quest VI in Japan?

All this and more in this episode of Axe of the Blood God!
