S6E3: In response to my short episode on my frustrations with the system(s) I’m currently playing, I received good support and feedback from the community, including call ins from Anthony of Casting Shadows and Barry of A Song of Dice & Shadows podcasts, as well as an invitation from Jason of Nerds RPG Variety Cast to talk about Middle-Earth Role Playing and how it might still be a viable system that can scratch those spots that other systems aren’t reaching.

Series 3, episode 25: “I am not, and never have been, a member of the far-right” - having been associated in a recent YouTube vid with the RPG Alt-Right, the first 10 minutes is a refutation of that, and a reassertion of what I stand for.

Mentioned in this show is an episode Nerd’s RPG Variety Cast to which I was invited onto to discuss the 1974 Italian vigilante movie Street Law (“Il cittadino si ribella”): https://t.co/AnjR5kchxS You can contact me at: scotinkyoto@yahoo.com, Menion @OldShabbyGamer (Twitter), and here on Anchor.
