Welcome back to Gaming with Gage, your podcast for Roleplaying Games and the Periphery.
Thanks for being here
And thank you so much for the warm words about Season Four! We’ve had some wonderful chats in our Discord and I’m truly appreciative. This week, Ken Spencer of Why Not Games? returns to talk about Rocket Age and his new Kickstarter adapting the system to a popular Fifth Edition Roleplaying System. I was fascinated to hear about this journey and, to be honest, I just love talking with Ken. The Kickstarter is live now, and almost funded, and runs until July 4th.
As always we ask that you rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher or wherever you listen.
