Since this is Patriotic week I wanted to start off my weekly Podcast fiction reviews with something Patriotic. I thought about it for a while and had a hard time coming up with anything.

Hey gamers! I am sitting here in my “Free Angela!” T-Shirt, listening to “All Things Must Pass”. It’s 1971, and boy is it a rough year. USA and USSR agree not to detonate nukes on the ocean floor (your house is still a valid target); Lt. Calley is sentenced to spend the rest of his life in jail […]

Hi. My name is Rich, and I will be writing about classic RPG gaming. Old School Gaming has a fairly wide range of meanings on the net, so I had better clarify what I mean. I am going to be writing about pre-2000 gaming. That includes all the various D&D editions before 3.0, West End Star […]
