Who likes their fantasy with a shot of heartbreaker and a dirt-farming sidecar? Maybe with a splash of podcast host bitters? This week we cover Fifth Cycle, a thoroughly confusing game about wizard archaeologists where you hope like crazy to play as a wizard archaeologist and not a farmer.

June 23, 2015 Raven Star – System Mastery 46
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/system-mastery-46.mp3
Hey, remember the 90s? Do you look back fondly on Rob Liefeld, X-Force, Reboot-style 3D art, and references to monofilament technology? Then hoo boy do we have the game for you! Raven Star is more or less a textbook space heartbreaker, with dwarves, elves … bear men… you get the idea. Settle in to get all cybed up!

June 09, 2015 Noumenon – System Mastery 45
https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/system-mastery-451.mp3
In this installment we discuss the best soul coffin in the shape of a giant bug that solves fundamental metaphysics mysteries in an impossible mansion simulator we’ve ever read. We cover Noumenon, and the Sarcophoguys that wander the halls of the Silhouette Rouge, which I’m pretty sure is french for “Community College Psychology Class.”
