We kick of 2024 with a look at books covering the history of tabletop roleplaying games. We don't cover the entire list by any means, but the books we DO cover are definitely a list that you should pick up and add to your library.
Also, we do apologize for the potential audio issues in this episode, as we made a few changes to the studio in the headquarters at Bad GM Productions during the holidays and are still working out the issues in the system. Hopefully we'll have everything settled out by next week's episode.

This week, we take a look at holiday themed one shots and modules you can pick up and run at your family gatherings and game group holiday parties. We've even found some REALLY low priced options for you, since we're pretty sure you're probably running low on cash at this time of year. We know we are, anyway.

This week we deep dive a couple of games that, in their own way, have each seen their influence passed along to other games in the genres they were created for, even if their own lifespans weren't that long. They're also games YOU should check out and play, since even though they're no longer in print, they're just THAT good.

Okay, so we left the title a BIT vague as to what the subject is for this week's show. What we WILL say is that it's been requested at least a dozen times over the past couple of months, and it's also a subject that's near and dear to Wayne's heart. Check it out and let us know what you think.

This week, we show some love to a couple of AD&D settings that don't really seem to get enough of it. Al Qadim and Kara Tur both have rather large fan bases, and while they haven't seen the kinds of updates and expansions for the most recent editions that settings like Ravenloft and Spelljammer have, their fans have managed to keep them alive and kicking for all these years. Why? Well, listen and find out.

This week, we head back to the play-by-mail genre to take a look at a roleplaying game that's been going for 35 years. Hyborian War is based on the stories of Conan the Barbarian, and for fans of THOSE stories, this game's a no brainer.

This week, we deep dive the Swedish game company Target games, taking a look at their history and WHY they're no longer in business. We'll also take a closer look at the three ttrpgs they're best known for, and we'll see why the games they created have outlived the company that created them by more than 20 years.

So....Wayne had one of those moments this week. He finished the show, uploaded it, then remembered stuff he wanted to get on the show. Fortunately for him, he's the owner of the company, so we can't flog him. Instead, we had him record an addendum, which we're dropping here for your enjoyment.
We don't usually cover current events on this show, but the Open Game License situation from Wizards of the Coast that went down a few weeks back is one of those situations that calls for our brand of deep diving. What is the OGL? What was its purpose? And, most importantly, WHAT were the changes going to be and how were they going to impact the business? Oh...and WHY should we care? Hopefully, we answer all of those questions this week.

Wayne's voice, for lack of a better term, SUCKS this week. So, rather than put out an exceptionally subpar product, he's waiting until next week to see if it improves, at which time he'll get back to producing the moderately subpar product you've come to know and love.
This week, we take a deep dive into Evil Hat Productions and check out a few of the fine products in their line, including FATE and the most recent release, Thirsty Sword Lesbians.

This week, we dig into the history of the Spelljammer setting for Dungeons and Dragons. It's had a long history, but up until recently it hadn't gotten the love that other settings had gotten from Wizards of the Coast. Why was that, and why was NOW the time to bring it back? We don't have all the answers, but we'll answer as many questions as we can.
