As Dickens put it in an original anachro-draft: “It was the best of Conan, it was the worst of Conan, it was the age undreamed of, it was the age dreamed out of”.

Yes! IV! That’s the real mad stuff on there.

It’s a simple enough production, even back then, but the bass is clear and punchy and everything is in its place.

I’ve caught up. Thanks for putting out a podcast again. I very much like the “unscripted” style, as you know.

The combat rules are a breath of fresh air and promise to change how combat is approached dramatically.

That’s a huge amount of material! How often do you play? We were playing about twice a month (2 hr online sessions).

There’s a lot of great ideas in 4th ed WFRP, but it makes the original game look like a light-footed acrobat in comparison, not to mention the metacurrency bloat… Clever use of resilience and a single spell completely neutralized the final threat without any real need of a dice roll. It’s buggy.

In an ideal world we’d play for 4 hrs a week face to face, and we would have been better at remembering the plot details and engaging with the countless NPCs, but I think we managed very well.

Not yet, but was looking at it today. I’m trying to finish off painting my Cromwellian army at the moment!

No, I don’t avoid anime etc, but don’t go out of my way to watch it either. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

I’ve no time for Labour or Starmer, but this is unhinged. Musk is a dangerous fascist, as well as being a shit boss and businessman. I don’t think it will end well for him and his kind.

Do AI DMs dream of electric encounter tables? That’s the kind of question that truly seems to keep WotC awake at night, Justin.

Yes. I haven’t played it for a while.

I’ll probably continue with the solo BECMI campaign that I started, as well as Sword World 2.5 and Mork Borg. I wouldn’t mind doing some Rolemaster and RuneQuest as well.
