System Mastery 335 – Tide Breaker

It’s a rules light game! By which of course we mean it has like several hundred rules, but none of them are especially heavy.

Check out the Forever DM podcast, please! Sorry about the mean stuff we said to you if you don’t do it in the episode. But still do it.

System Mastery 334 – Delta Green

Well, at least now people can’t keep asking us to talk about it!

System Mastery 333 – Marvel Heroic Roleplaying LIVE

Recorded live at GenCon 2026, this episode sounds like fuzzy butt because we didn’t have a way to test the house equipment. If you can endure it, you’re the true Marvel Hero (ic roleplaying RPG).

System Mastery 332 – 13th Age

Well, I guess it’s better than 5e. How’s the 2nd edition of this? Obviously we’re taking them in order. Sound off in the comments and smash that like and subscribe or whatever the youtubers say.

System Mastery 331 – Blood and Vigilance

Shoot, we accidentally made a supplement episode. I thought this was a core book! Oh well, it’s basically a superhero patch to be applied to D20 Modern, so at least it’s sorta interesting to take a look at!

System Mastery 330 – Justice League Unlimited Preview

And it’s not D&D or anything!
