May 03, 2016 New Point – Afterthought 31
We discuss the notion of RPGs that greatly diverge from even the most basic concepts of the genre. No going on adventures? Not even playing a character? Why not? Then […]

April 26, 2016 Bunnies & Burrows – System Mastery 68
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/system-mastery-68-bunnies-burrows.mp3
This game has achieved a sort of fame because the name implies that it might be sort of friendly and cuddly. It’s been referenced in other games as the RPG you should seek out if you’re looking for an easy time. Like the training wheels of games. Well let me tell you now, what they called training wheels in 1976 is what we’d call “not punching your kid for falling off the bike” now. This game may only be 39 pages long, but 39 is also the number of minutes you can expect your rabbit to live. It’s Bunnies & Burrows, and nature is red in tooth and saving throw.

April 12, 2016 7th Sea – System Mastery 67
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/system-mastery-67-seventh-sea.mp3
No really, it’s genuine this time! An actual review of the first edition of the famous swashbuckling RPG 7th Sea. An interesting blend of very familiar mechanics, curious ideas for character creation, and not-Europe world building created by famous RPG advice dingus John Wick. This game has a hell of a following. The 2nd edition was recently the most well-funded RPG kickstarter to date! But before we dig into the new, let’s take apart the old in today’s (real, actual) review of 7th Sea.
