- Episode 13: In Chambers – Solo RPGsSometimes, you can find yourself with more RPG groups and games than you know what to do with. Other times, you may find your dance card empty. How can you engage with the tabletop RPG hobby when it's just you and a room full of shiny dice? Two of our judges address that very subject in this episode.41 min
- Episode 12: Mini RPGsSometimes you need to step away from your immersive and complex RPG campaign and just have an evening of something different. Maybe you can be treacherous subjects of a powerful queen, maybe you can be...fake wizards? Or...a skull? Hey, it's only for an evening.1 hr 4 min

- Episode 7: In Chambers – Troika! & Whimsy in RPGsTrey and Case talk about wonder and whimsy in RPGs. Then they get sidetracked into a Dr Who conversation. They go back to whimsy and then talk Dr Who again. It’s all very confusing. And whimsical!37 min

About RPG Review Board
From the publisher's feed
When President Ulysses S. Grant formed the Department of Justice in 1870, he made special provision for a bar of review regarding the new pass-time sweeping across the land: role-playing games. This…
bar was meant to establish a standard of quality to ensure that “neckbeards, dorks, geeks, quiet bookish girls, and Guys Who Are Way Into Anime, If You Know What I Mean” were not adversely affected by poorly drafted rule sets and incomprehensible lore dumps. In a nation still attempting to heal from the wounds of the Civil War, it was sadly necessary. Today, the RPG Review Board continues that proud tradition. Gamers can rely on the Board’s judgments, knowing that any game recommended by that august body has passed rigorous standards of fun-evaluation and only the most exacting tests for rules balance and accuracy.
