Once again your intrepid Halflings dive into the murky world of Espionage RPGs. No Cold War this time around, instead we jack into the 21st century with Top Secret: New World Order by TSR Games. We are joined by author Merle Rasmussen and TSR Games head honcho Jayson Elliot to talk over what’s old, what’s new, and how this podcast will self-destruct in only 51 minutes!

Get your trench coats and code books, in this show the Halflings enter the murky world of Cold War espionage with 1980s Top Secret RPG from TSR. DM Liz takes the reins as lead host, and won’t give it back! Thrills, chills, and treachery abounds as we strive to answer the question: Can an Old School RPG have too many tables?

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!
