Welcome to the final episode of series 73! This series, Amelia agreed to cover TMNT for Ryan's birthday month! So we invited Jef and Jon from the System Mastery podcast to join us and help us through the experience. Since TMNT is so small, we are also covering Palladium's After the Bomb to give us more options and a more robust setting! This episode, learn about the mechanics of Palladium's system a bit as well as how the experience system works in the game. We also dive into our fanfic section to figure out how this all works together!

Welcome to the fourth episode of series 73! This series, Amelia agreed to cover TMNT for Ryan's birthday month! So we invited Jef and Jon from the System Mastery podcast to join us and help us through the experience. Since TMNT is so small, we are also covering Palladium's After the Bomb to give us more options and a more robust setting! This episode, we start to discuss the character creation process after learning a bit more about Jef and Jon!

Welcome to the final episode of series 72! In this series, we welcome Pelle Nilsson to discuss his game, Mörk Borg, a pitch-black apocalyptic fantasy RPG about lost souls and fools seeking redemption, forgiveness or the last remaining riches in a bleak and dying world. We also have a guest co-host on this series, Agatha Cheng from the Asians Represent podcast is filling in for Amelia. In today's episode, we get to the phenomenal fanfic about our characters, take a peek at the apocalypse, and learn how characters both get better (or not) in our advancement discussion!
