Hosted by Iain Wilson · leisure · EN-GB
Three middle-aged nerds dive deep into the golden age of tabletop RPGs, covering the classics from the 80s and 90s that shaped the hobby we love today. Iain and Jason banter their way through gaming history while Steve desperately tries to keep them on topic—and occasionally succeeds. Whether you're a grognard who lived through THAC0 or a newcomer curious about what to do with all those lovely polyhederal dice you've aquired, we've got you covered with historical deep-dives, roundtable discussions fueled by questionable nostalgia, and actual play episodes where our players' competence is... variable. All of this released on a schedule that can charitably be called "flexible" at best. Grab some dice and join us for a trip down memory lane—just don't ask us to commit to when the next episode will drop.
