This episode I ask a few questions about zines, their history and how they have changed over the years. As always, please visit us at www.wobbliesandwizards.com and go ahead and give the podcast a follow. 

This zine is a unique role playing game with a lot of potential that is very different from most RPGs I have ever played. A game without monsters, magic, scifi or combat it has a lot of great content to put you in the right direction to craft new sorts of stories that we do not often see in role playing games. You can pick up a copy of Two Summers at Exalted Funeral. Don't forget to visit our blog at www.wobbliesandwizards.com or follow us on facebook. 

Swords & Wizardry Complete is a great retro clone compatible with early editions of the classic fantasy role playing game. It has had many printings and publications and is one of the easier to run versions of the game with lots of flexibility. The game is free in PDF if you wish to check it out. There is also a System Reference Document of Swords & Wizardry Complete online for easy free access to the rules.

Character death makes for a better game. I recap the recent article on Wobblies & Wizards, telling why I believe running a lethal game makes for a better game. I address a few perspectives that I feel misunderstand why it is an element of the game we should not avoid, and how it makes the game more interesting, gives it more depth and engages players.
