May 06, 2023 Episode 48: “D&D Honor Among Thieves” and NTRPG Con
Yes, we took the plunge so you don’t have to! The Fab Four watched the D&D: HAT movie and give our opinions; the good, the bad, and the Satanic! That’s right, Satan (AKA Mike Badolato) joins us to give his Infernal views on the film. Oh, and also talk about some convention in Dallas this June!
No corpses were questioned during the making of this podcast, ‘cuz we couldn’t think of a fifth question! And we’re better people.

April 07, 2023 Episode 47.5: GOZR CharGen Extravaganza!
Normally we do up our character generation sessions as extras for the Patreon supporters, but this one was so much fun we decided to make a Sideshow out of it and release it to the entire community! Not only are all 4 Halflings here for the experience, but we are guided in the session by none other than the author himself, J.V. West! What characters did we make? What gear did we start with? Most importantly of all, what are our ears shaped like? All this and more awaits you in this latest show from the Save for Halfling Gooz!
No ladders were priced in the making of this episode, because DM Corbett couldn’t find his Klinks!

March 05, 2023 Episode 47: Killer by Steve Jackson Games
Sometimes we cover games that are truly artifacts of their time. This is one of those! Killer by Steve Jackson Games might be considered by some a proto-LARP, others would see it as “Cops & Robbers” for adults, and most others as a serious ecurity risk? Falling pillow-safes, Dart guns (with a ‘D’!), and 30 second bombs abound in this latest episode of the World’s Greatest Podcast! No, really!
No bystanders were harmed in the making of this podcast, since the Halflings didn’t want to go to jail. Again.

February 10, 2023 Episode 46: Jolly Blackburn Interview
This episode the Save For Halflings are honored to interview Knights of the Dinner Table author Jolly Blackburn! Jolly doesn’t do many interviews, so this is a rare opportunity to get the inside dope from the gifted storyteller who recently celebrated 300 consecutive issues of his seminal comic book. Plus things pretty quickly break down into gamer talk, but hey… that’s what we do on this show. Jolly is a great guy, who actually left an in-person game with the Kenzer crew at mid-TPK, just to be with us. So we were extra grateful for the chance to speak with him!

NOTE: The party ultimately avoided the looming TPK, though some player characters required healing in the process.

When it comes to modern games inspired by the OSR, there is ’70s Gonzo, and there’s ’70s GONZO.

October 29, 2022 Episode 44: Vampire the Masquerade by White Wolf
You all knew it was coming, sooner or later. Like a undead wraith itself, Vampire: The Masquerade rises from the grave (the 2nd edition anyway) for your Fab Four to review. We cover what’s good, what’s not-so-good, and what sucks (see what I did there?) in White Wolf’s pre-eminent product in the RPG hobby. Get your Goth gear on, find some ankhs, and prepare for fang-u-lous fun!
No Kindred were diablerized in the making of this podcast, not even from behind the Elysium!

August 30, 2022 Episode 42: Original Dungeons & Dragons, Edited by Greyharp
One of the biggest complaints about Original (little brown book) D&D is that it’s difficult to understand because of layout and order. Not to mention it frequently refers to stuff in Chainmail—sold separately! Never fear, Greyharp has come to the rescue with this sorta-kinda-but-not-really retroclone of the original game. Layout corrections, rules organization, and actual cut-and-pastes of the Chainmail rules help this version be the most playable yet. Or does it? Listen in and find out!
No Hobbits were harmed in the making of this podcast, since they made their Saving Throws!

It’s that time of year, what you’ve all been waiting for. That’s right, we’ve got BadMike himself from North Texas RPG Con to discuss what we did this year at the best Old School con in the world! We laughed, we cried, we managed to avoid the dealer room! Plus, DM Corbett was there! No really! Honest! We mean it this time!
No candy bars were harmed in the making of this show, not even the full size ones that Corbett bought and foisted off on us!
