System Mastery

https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/systemmastery5.mp3 The mild, heartwarming scares continue with our first Horrortoberfest podcast of October!  Orpheus is a weird, weird outlier from the Old World of Darkness family.  Get some friends together to play as sexy secret agent ghosts or the world’s worst bicycle messengers.

https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/systemmastery42.mp3 This episode goes out to Dan, the only person we know of who ever played this game.  We have to assume he hated it as much as we did.  We’re discussing, Prime Directive, the Star Fleet Universe RPG.  Come along and learn about everything from Toltec Space Lizards to Glowing Maori.  Just be careful not to say Star Trek.  No amount of this game is Star Trek.

https://systemmastery.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/systemmastery3.mp3 This time around, we review Tales from the Floating Vagabond, from Avalon Hill.  It’s a comedic sci-fi roleplaying game set the exact center of a cartoon universe.  Shticks, poorly named skills, boring alien races, and space NAZIs abound!  With such zany highlights as [a cat meows] and [I think one of us farts], we delve into finding out if this classic is worth the paper it’s printed on, and it is printed on surprisingly cheap paper.

There, that was the best attempt we can make at recreating the roughly 300 pages of Buffy-style dialog we slaved over to bring you a hot fresh System Mastery.  Enjoy!
