Our continuing adventure finds our heroes in a haze of delirium, basting in meat-sweats...
In the weekly gaming recap, Monday's Deadlands finds Tom's viking in an LA street shootout directed by Michael Mann, Mike D's Wednesday Rogue Trader game implodes as predicted, only to be reborn as our weekly RPG at our local game store, and Friday's Dungeon World has Paul hitting the team with a big boss fight and discussing the different inspiration involved in creating the encounter.
Bill's book report covers the Lone Wolf Adventure Game, the Cubicle 7 RPG from 2015. In a rare show of humanity, Bill waxes nostalgic about the choose your own adventure books of his childhood. He then doubles down on his emotions by grilling Mike D's report on John Wick's indie RPG Wield, a game about sentient magic objects.
In the free form arena, we share our opinions on the optimal number of players in an RPG, games with great settings but lackluster mechanics, and end with a Takeshi Miike nightmare.
