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!

Ep73 - The Quest for Adventure

You enter the mouth of the cave just behind the adventurers, choosing your steps carefully so as to create as little noise as possible. A short distance away, lit by torches blazing along the wall, you spot a single goblin, noisily banging on what looks like a treasure chest. As the pungent aroma of dead leaves and moldy stone assaults your nose, you survey your surroundings carefully. Against the book wall of the cave, there is a pristine closet of mass storage, looking as though it had just been installed. A small box sits in front of this closet, giving off a soft hum, visions from another world dancing across its shimmering surface. On a nearby table, there rests a small stack of several comical scrolls, sealed with wax. The slight delay in looking about has caused you to fall behind your two armed and armored companions.
As they step forward to confront the goblin, you are left with a decision to make:
