Welcome back to Gaming with Gage, your podcast for Roleplaying Games and the Periphery.
Thanks for being here
And thank you so much for being here for the Finale of Season 3! For those of you keeping score at home, this episode actually makes 17 for the season, our new record. But wait a second Gage, Where’s Agatha? isn’t done, I hear you saying. And yes, we do still have one more episode that will be released as a bonus episode in between seasons 3 and 4. If you can’t wait that long to find out what happens, hop into our Discord and I’ll spoil it for you.
This season has been such a pleasure and I truly appreciate everyone who’s been along for the ride.
And for our finale, I got to speak with Ken Spencer of Why Not Games? We talked about Rocket Age and Weird Races and a lot about Imperial Jupiter, the newest setting book for Rocket Age. You’ll hear me gush a little about Imperial Jupiter in this episode but that’s only because I loved it.
Look forward to Season 4 on Monday, May 20th! If you have any ideas for the upcoming season, people you’d like to hear from or topics you’d like us to discover please let us know.
