Episode 33: Caledonian Campaigns & Edinburgh Escapades

“The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley", as Robert Burns once said, but we've just about managed to get an episode published for January.  Join the gang at Til Dice Towers as we talk roleplaying games but also Scotland in this latest Ask A GM - with Graeme from Vancouver asking us what is the most Scottish roleplaying game.  That's a surprisingly complex question.  What great games are written about Scotland?  What great games are written by Scots?  What fictional properties and characters are more Scottish than you think?  Join us for some patriotic patter.

Then you can join us on our Edinburgh Travelogue.  We are nipping across to the East side of Scotland and its capital city to have a wander around the historical monuments and nerdy shops as we take you on a trip through the city we are forced to admit is prettier than Glasgow.  We'll tell you what Edinburgh Castle is built on top of, take shelter in Black Lion Games from a depressing familiar face, and even find time to give some food reviews.

Along the way you will learn the answer to questions like: what connects Tony Blair and James Bond?  What author of "Scotch" fiction did George pick a fight with on Twitter?  What street in Edinburgh is the Mailer Daemon determined to visit?  Who arrives at our door to be our first footer?  Most importantly of all, what Antipodean Adventurer has got a slot in our advert break to tell you all about his hunt for the most famous of Scottish cryptids?  Crikey!
