Pact - Interview with Dimokritos Saloustros
Episode 460
Sunday, March 29, 2026 • Duration 35:33
Interview with Black Lantern Studios Dimokritos Saloustros about Pact, a modern, occult, personal-horror role-playing game, set in a world almost identical to ours, only darker, more corrupted, and slowly collapsing.
As humanity crumbles under despair, loss, and ambition, Demons find their opportunity. Unable to influence the world on their own, they whisper to humans in a moment of weakness, offering power, prestige, and infernal gifts in exchange for their souls.
Built on Free League Publishing’s Year Zero Engine (YZE) and created by the Greek studio Black Lantern, Pact invites players to take the role of Pactbearers; ordinary people who accepted the offer and now must live with the consequences.

Learning when to keep your mouth shut. Vaesen Starter Set review
Sunday, March 8, 2026 • Duration 01:06:54
Over the last few weeks a number of people have been stupid enough to open their mouths and reveal themselves to be... erm... despicable.
Ryan Dancey, formerly from Alderac Entertainment Group, decided to openly admit that he would happily replace humans with AI to design games. Needless to say, he is not just mistaken as AI can't design as a human can, but also it is a pretty shitty stance to take.
After that, Sam Healy, from the Dice Tower, also formerly, praised the actions of the thugs at ICE and condoned the murders of two innocent USA citizens. He promptly departed The Dice Tower, no doubt encouraged by the loss of earnings that took place when people withdrew their pledges.
Recently I have been playing the Vaesen Starter Set adventure with a new group of people who were completey new to the game, so I wanted to give you all my honest review.
And we will be back soon with more episodes!

Drakborgen - The Secret of Ath Ungol for Dragonbane, interview with author Per Holmström
Season 1 · Episode 3
Saturday, October 4, 2025 • Duration 40:41
In 1985, Drakborgen, a board game adventure created by Jakob Bonds and Dan Glimne, was released and quickly became a classic. In 2022, Drakborgen was brought back to life through a spectacular Kickstarter by Fandrake, where one of the rewards was a role-playing adventure for Forbidden Lands. Now, this adventure has been updated and adapted for Dragonbane — and you are invited to explore its dangers!
Drakborgen – The Secret of Ath Ungol takes you deeper than ever into the legendary world of Drakborgen, recreated as a grand role-playing adventure. More than 50 thrilling events and 30 unique rooms await to challenge brave adventurers. Deadly traps, terrifying monsters, and fantastic treasures lurk in the shadows. All your favorite creatures from the board game are back—but new horrors await in the darkness! With the help of detailed tables, you can generate everything from wandering monsters to legendary artifacts and unique items.
The book is a 180-page hardcover in full color, richly illustrated with Anders Jeppson’s classic artwork and detailed, hand-drawn maps by the adventure’s author, Per Holmström, depicting every room in Drakborgen. As part of the Kickstarter for this book, a unique expansion of Drakborgen was unlocked—the Drakborgen world map! This stunning map, painted by Christian Lindqvist and based on an original sketch by Dan Glimne, is included with the physical book, offering even more opportunities to explore the world of Drakborgen in Dragonbane.
Will you escape with the treasure before the castle consumes you?
This product also includes the PDF. A link for a voucher on DrivethruRPG will be sent to the email used when placing the order.
NOTE! To play this adventure, you will need a copy of Dragonbane from Free League.

Episode 521: Interview with author Federico Sohns - Zephyr: An Anarchist Game of Fleeting Identities
Season 2025 · Episode 521
Friday, September 26, 2025 • Duration 57:50
Zephyr: An Anarchist Game of Fleeting Identities is a roleplaying game set in the wandering, sentient continent of Ophoi. This entity travels on a relentless march across an endless salt flat, its four lungs bursting with sentimental energy - the alien emotions of the Zephyr, which comes in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.
Like most substances, the emotions of the Zephyr coalesce into mountains made of rage, rivers of sorrow, fields grown out of the essence of guilt - everything that is, in its whole colorful gamut, including complex lifeforms.
You can buy the game from: https://araukana-media.itch.io/zephyr-roleplaying-game
And from DriveThruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/es/product/480816/zephyr-an-anarchist-game-of-fleeting-identities?affiliate_id=318686

Episode 520: Untamed Worlds, Anthropomorphic Science Fiction Roleplaying, interview with author Jack Norris
Season 2025 · Episode 520
Friday, September 19, 2025 • Duration 01:11:50
What would happen if you were created as a human-animal hybrid and you were sent to space to fight for the people who created you without your say so?
Untamed Worlds puts you, as a player, in that situation. The latest game published by Osprey Games and written by Jack Norris.
I got together with Jack to ask him a ton of questions about this game and how it handles some very tough topics.
With a simple system, deep character creation and a very large universe where to live adventures, Untamed Worlds is very promising and certainly worth a look.

The NewTSR odyssey has ended at last. After years of controversy and bigotry, years of lying about products that were never meant to be in the first place, they are gone. And the world of RPGs is better for it.
And Chris has a review of Autobahn... he is not very impressed.

Friday, June 20, 2025 • Duration 52:50
Asmodee has bought Zombicide from C'Mon... does this signal the end of C'mon?
