Join us as we look to rescue the young men of Oyster Bay who have been kidnapped by the foul denizens of Fire Island - the eponymous "Island of the Lizard King"!

First released in 1984, "Island of the Lizard King" was the seventh book in the huge successful "Fighting Fantasy" series, and remains a firm favourite.  I'm joined by my son who steps into the shoes of the brave adventurer seeking to put an end to the Lizard King's reign of terror...

This episode we take a look at West End Games' Star Wars Roleplaying game - the game that encouraged its GMs to think as movie directors rather than as games masters.  Based on the D6 system this game encouraged fast-moving, heroic action that was very much in the mould of the movies!

This is part one of our Star Wars episode - part two will feature a round table discussion where we put on our rose tinted glasses and talk about our favourite memories of the game.

In this episode we dive into the world of the Old School Revival, and take a look at one of the D&D retro clones out there - Old School Essentials by Necrotic Gnome. 

This is a special part three of our D&D episode - what, you honestly thought in a subject this big that we'd only manage it in two?

This episode we don our rose-tinted glasses and have a long, nostalgic chat about the game that started it all, Dungeons and Dragons.  It's been around for almost HALF A CENTURY and, throughout its rather turbulent history, it has influenced the tabletop RPG genre more than any other game. 

As a special guest, we have World Famous Games' Designer (TM) Corey Young who talks about his experiences with the game and why 5e D&D is an elegant piece of games design.

This is part two of our D&D episode - part one features a history of the game and the trials and tribulations it faced throughout the years.

Yes, we're back for another episode of "Goblins of Gree", the feature that will see each of my kids being given one of the creatures from the game we've just discussed, for which they will make a case for that creature being "Goblin of the Week".  We'll then put up a Twitter poll to let the public decide.

The Twitter poll can be found @savepodcast

Andrew's desperate for votes this time, as the current score is:

Gree: 1
Andrew: 0

Yes - it's complete nonsense, and thankfully brief.  Enjoy!

So, my children have decided that they want to get involved with the podcast...  The result is this - Goblins With Gree (got to love the alliteration).  This (semi-regular) feature will see each of my kids being given one of the creatures from the game we've just discussed, and they will make their case for that creature being "Goblin of the Week".  We'll then put up a Twitter poll to let the public decide.

Yes - it's complete nonsense, and thankfully brief.  Enjoy!

We take the time to review feedback from our listeners.  It seems that Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay was a really popular game, and a great choice as a first episode!  As such, many of you got in touch with us to share your memories of the game and to give other feedback.

As such, here's a little bonus episode to tide you over until the next main podcast, where we review those responses and share them with you.

Today we're talking a long, nostalgic look back at Games Workshop's flagship roleplaying game - Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.  Set in their self-styled "grim world of perilous adventure" this game promised to be very different from what had come before.

In this episode we have a good old chinwag about the game and our memories of it.  The previous two parts featured a review of the game's history, and a look into its setting and system.
