Thanks to intrepid reporter DM Jim, we at Save for Half present the 2017 North Texas RPG Con seminar on the history and future plans of the Judges Guild, presented by Bob Bledsaw Jr. If you didn’t make the con (shame on you!) or missed the seminar then get ready for an hour of JG goodness!

This 1987 RPG, produced by Gary Gygax and Frank Mentzer with Kim Mohan, has a reputation in the gaming hobby as one of the worst RPGs ever designed. But is it really that bad? Your determined Save for Halfling DMs take a dive into this game and see if it lives up to its reputation or is instead a gem in the rough!

Welcome to the Save for Half “Sideshow”! These shows are produced erratically and oddly, much like a circus’ sideshow. They are for the bits and bobs we don’t feel fit into the format of the “whole number” shows, so be warned, it gets weird from here on out!

In this sideshow we are joined by Mike “BadMike” Badolato, co-owner/runner/responsible adult/sucker of the North Texas RPG Convention, which is held every first Thursday Weekend of June. During this show we cover emails we’ve gotten over the first two episodes of Save For Half. Then we talk to BadMike about the convention; what’s new, what’s old, what’s what for the 2017 NTRPG Con and why YOU should be there!

In our second outing* the Save for Half-lings (with guest-star DM Jim!) look at a seminal old school classic – 1st edition Gamma World. James M. Ward and Gary Jaquet’s over-the-top combination of super-science and deadly, earnest danger set the bar for early science fiction and post-apocalyptic role playing games, and its influence is still felt in gaming 38 years later.

* Original Recording of this show was April 10, 2016
