We interrupt our regular broadcast to bring you an incredibly special episode! Thanks to our friendly neighborhood gaming store, The Adventure Game Store we recently had the chance to sit down with award-winning game designer and author Kenneth Hite! Mr. Hite was kind enough to give us a few minutes of his time before an appearance at the store, and the results are amazing. If you're interested in pulp fiction, the C'thulhu mythos, or role playing games at all, you should not miss this!

Ep111 - Recapturing the Massive
Monday Jul 14, 2014
Monday Jul 14, 2014
This week, join Tom and Brian as they pine for the good old days of MMOs! The days when a player had to spend more time grinding then sleeping just to stay comfortably in the middle of the pack. The days when 3D geometry was just there for aesthetic purposes. The days before mass market appeal, where diehard players were willing to pay a monthly fee for more of a game they already hated with all their hearts! No wonder we're looking for a new game to play, those days were terrible!

Ep85 - King Under Space Mountain
Sunday Jan 05, 2014
Sunday Jan 05, 2014
Tom and Brian start off 2014 right! Not with a wild night of debauchery, but with a quiet night of contemplation and double- and triple-negative confusion. The guys fumble through their de-resolutions, then settle in for some intention convolutions by making a mess of possible Disney projects for the upcoming year.
