180 - David Larkins talks Pendragon, Chaosium, Murder Hobos, and D&D!

We're back! This episode was recorded an entire month ago and here it is! Today I'm joined by David Larkins, line editor of Pendragon by Chasoium Games. We talk Pendragon and murder hobos of course, but we also talk about game design, context, marketing, and our favorite topic: CAPITALISM! This is a great conversation with lots of awesome details. I hope you have as much fun listening to it, as I did rediscovering this material a month later!

Death by Roleplaying Ep 3 - No Country For Murder Hobos

What's up cultists? We're back with our third installment of Death by Roleplaying! In this episode, Brendan waxes nostalgic about Gen Con and get's a bit tetchy with the concept of Murder Hobos. Where did they come from? Was D&D always about murder hoboing across the landscape? Or did institutional change alter the game play loop from within? It's a multi-decade exegesis of the subject matter and we can't wait to hear your thoughts on it! Stop by our Discord and let your voice be heard! You ...

175 - The King is Dead. Long Live the King!

One chapter in the Full Metal RPG saga closes, and a new one begins. It's Richard's last episode! (As host).

It's a surreal experience as Richard leaves the show and Brendan returns. Probably forgetting something about how this is done, but we'll just have to get better at it going forward! Boosh!
