Jason’s nerves are settled at the Hammer Klinik. The next episode WILL BE my interview with Tom Barbalet...

Hammer Production Meeting. Jason has good reasons to worry. Barney is feeling a bit ill.

Hammer Horror usurps Blade Runner AND my interview with Tom Barbalet. Guest star: Jason Nerd‘s Variety

Blade Runner homebrew RPG scene-setting, Legend of the Five Rings and some appreciative rumination about having podcasting friends.

First half dedicated to Tom Barbalet @ My Rules are Better podcast https://www.myrulesarebetter.com - big high five to him on 1/6, 2/6, 3/6 dice structure and a Barbalet-inspired report on a visit to Damage Unlimited game shop in Vienna. Second half dedicated to fellow Anchor podcasters and all that comes with that: Messages from Dave Aldridge @ Dpercentile podcast https://anchor.fm/dave-aldridge , Jason @ Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast https://open.spotify.com/show/4oPnUnwitpUqn9saEkFaNf , Pete Jones @ Dragons are Real podcast https://anchor.fm/dragonsarereal and Spencer Free Thrall @ Keep Off the Borderlands podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/6WeOXszl7BrxQvmjrw7xAI

Prolific designer Andy Chambers discusses his work on Warlord Games’s current 2000AD skirmish games - Strontium Dog and the soon-to-be-released Judge Dredd and more. Enjoy!

Next special guest announcement (2000AD related)!!! Reflections on some of Chris MacDowall’s comments from last episode. RPG musings - DMing Chris’s Into the Odd/Electric Bastionland (more/again); being a player in an Aliens ICRPG game on Roll20. How to end RPG sessions with something of the midway thrill? Is it possible to overcome the entropic wind-down? I don’t know. Any suggestions? Offer something to the Ludic Behemoth: a game mechanic or component and an underrated character archetype or skill.
