At time of recording I was still under the weather so this was to be an abbreviated episode with session recaps for Wrath of The Righteous and REAVER along with a mail bag segment until it also turned into an ill advised comparison between AD&D and Lucio Fulci's 1982 movie The New York Ripper...

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...
