We're back, and so is Brian's voice! And we simply have to tell you about a bunch MORE role-playing games that have interesting mechanics.
We talk about games where characters don't trust each other, or perhaps do but shouldn't.

We're back, and so is Brian's voice! And we simply have to tell you about a bunch MORE role-playing games that have interesting mechanics.
- We talk about games where characters don't trust each other, or perhaps do but shouldn't.
- We give a lot of love to Bully Pulpit Games and Rowan, Rook, & Decard, because they do consistently great work.
- We talk about a bunch of great GMless, no-prep games, and you can see several of them being played by our friends at Third Floor Wars:
- Zhenya's Wonder Tales
- Desperation (Brian's in this one!)
- The Zone
- We talk about an extraordinarily important and influential RPG that isn't actually very good, and a new RPG that's extremely cool, but we can't tell you why.
- Have you ever wanted to play a character whose body and mind are being colonized by a swarm of sentient, psionic bees? Have we got the game for you!
- Sex moves? Sex moves!
