44 min - The Biblical Apocalypse in Christian Horror
TW: Chritianity, religious trauma, discussion of children dying
Inspired by two VERY different games, Aria and Funky discuss some interpretations of the biblical apocalypse in two completely different games. Camp Kingdom Come and The Seventh Seal couldn't be any opposed. But they are both based in the same idea.
Aria lays out their trauma, and Funky cries about it.

1 hr 13 min - Hawgbilly: Review
Aria and Funky discuss Hawgbilly, a game system they found during UGNET. This one is rough. Swine & Sorcery is certainly interesting. But the misogyny of the 2000s sure shows.
Aria also learns the definition of the word vamp, and Funky shows off his (terrible) mountain man dialect.

About Tabletop Hot Takes
From the publisher's feed
A Podcast about Tabletop Role Playing Games (TTRPGs), our thoughts and feeling on them, and, of course, hot takes.
We explore TTRPG history, indie RPGs, advice, recommendations, and all kinds of other great things.
Professor Aria was raised in the fire of TTRPGs having run and played Shadowrun, D&D 5E, Ryuutama, and several indie RPGs. They have Game Mastered for almost ten years. They are trying to make their own system, an exploration of cyberpunk fantasy in an approachable, customizable system.
Professor Funky has run TTRPGs for over 20 years and for far too many systems to count, though he will try. He is in the process of making his own system and publishing a fantasy adventure, The Plot of Conquerors, as well.
