We are getting sloppy, Jakes isn’t even in this episode!

System Mastery 326 – Ryuutama

Okay at this point I think it’s starting to get obvious that the two of us are down with the cozy games. This one is cute as heck. Get on a little journey. Jef is only moderately puzzled by some decisions!

System Mastery 325 – Root RPG

Sure it’s PBTA but really we want to talk about the rare-ish process by which specifically board games become specifically RPGs. Plus these animals kill each other and are cute.

Movie Mastery – Push (2009)

A film that feels like an RPG with a bunch of psychics fighting a secret government agency.

Expounded Universe 323 – Aliens in America

Our heroes (and a hidden villain perhaps?) begin their trek into the mysterious jungle, meanwhile a new super soldier enters the fray, and he might be the best of the best of the best, sir.

System Mastery 324 – Zenescope Presents: Age of Darkness RPG

Sure it’s PBTA but really we want to talk about the rare-ish process by which specifically board games become specifically RPGs. Plus these animals kill each other and are cute.

Movie Mastery – Gandahar (1987)

A psychedelic 70’s animated film for adults that somehow got made in the late 80’s because of the French.

Our heroes hit Cancun as we start killing off side characters.

System Mastery 324 – Zenescope Presents: Age of Darkness RPG

Western boob comics! Remember these? They’ve long since supplanted by that single mega milk manga image, you know the one. Anyway somewhere between the original Vampirella and that, there were a bevy of buxom comics companies that made titles like Gen13, Red Sonja, Danger Girl, and more. And also Zenescope. Never heard of them? Well strap in friends, because these mammary merchants done made themselves an RPG a while ago.

Note: This episode, featuring two Announcement Masteries, will otherwise be presented ad-free. But hey, speaking of those:
