In this oversized episode I discuss a recent session of Call of Cthulhu and give a long winded recap of my recent game of the DCC powered Ninja City RPG. Also for the last time in 2021 we open the mail bag to talk about “gotcha” monsters, hear a story about henchmen that kill and rob the characters, discuss that old problematic term OSR, debate about the merits of random character generation continues, and finally we wrap up with some Christmas movie talk. I am tipsy in some of my responses to callers so I might ramble a bit...

Mail bag followed by a special R rated spoiler filled review of the 1982 classic movie Blood Beat. If synth music, Wisconsin deer hunters, ghost samurai, battling psychics, the precursor to Predator-vision and the best subtitles ever (“mystical boinging”) sound like the perfect Christmas movie this is the one for you. Back to our regular tabletop gaming segments next episode.
