Save for Half podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

As with most adventures, this RPG starts at a rock concert. While you wait, you chat with a fellow rocker dude in his tricked-out van with a wizard painted on it. Then, adventure ensues! Want to know more? Well, listen to your Fab Four Halflings as they delve into James Spahn’s latest FRPG creation, Wizard Van! Adventure! Danger! Treasure! and Gnarley Rock soundtracks abound in this short but open-ended adventure into fantasy-Techno-Rock!

No Rock Artists were harmed in the making of this podcast, though we can’t say the same for their fans!

Let’s talk about something safe…Cannibalism! Like it or not, it comes up in virtually every Post-Apocalyptic tale you can imagine. Beyond the inevitable questions of “would you or wouldn’t you”, how do these tales treat the ramifications of engaging in this cultural taboo? What games deal with it, and how? Is there a such thing as a “Good Cannibal”? Come for the deli, stay for the Anthrax Ripple!

So, take a listen and keep in mind we are spoiler-rich! Especially for 40-year old books and movies…

What’s this, you ask? It’s a side project podcast that covers Post-Apocalyptic books, games, movies, and what not. Hosts Boom Mike and Doc Benny take this first episode to introduce themselves and tell you their interpretations of the Post-Apocalypse. What is it, what isn’t it, and what will be covered in the future on this sorta-monthly podcast by the folks who bring you Save For Half!

Get ready True Believers for a first…a Prequel Save for Half! We’ll be reviewing the West End Games Star Wars D6 RPG in episode 53, but first we invite the Curmudgeon in the Cellar himself Tim Kask on to talk about 1977’s Star Wars and its impact on us and the RPG community. Yes, some of us are really old enough to remember Star Wars when it just referred to a single film instead of the Disney juggernaut it is today. Thrills, Chills, and the answer to that age old question of ‘Why is Luke Skywalker looking down the business end of a light sabre?’

No Jedi were harmed in the making of this sideshow, because they were already canonically dead.

It’s December, which means it’s time for the patented Save for Half year-end retrospective and email hot tub time machine! Well, DM Liz reads some emails anyway. Forgive our delay in getting to some of these emails, but we kept them in the same calendar year so that’s got to count for something, right? Right?

No Dwarves were harmed in the making of this podcast, only their nerves!

What’s this? A game of Bronze-Age fantasy that mixes ancient cultures from Sumeria to the Celts? A unique world steeped in legend named Glorantha? Guest host Game Master Ed to explain the actual play of this game? Madness! Yet your Fab 4 are here discussing one of the second wave RPGs that came out in the late 1970s and was arguably the one that gave AD&D the biggest run for its money. Written by Steve Perrin and friends, this game has it all: Spell points, percentile skills, lack of classes, and a combat system that actually encourages you to avoid combat if possible. It’s all here, along with Ducks as a player race. What more could you want?

No Ducks were harmed in the making of this podcast, since it was Rabbit Season!

Get ready to gird your Oomph and Marbles, as the kids in the Halfling Clubhouse lead you on a delve into 70s and 80s kids’ shows, both real and imaginary! This show we’re looking at Dare-Luck Club, published by Lou Hoefer and Dandyline Games. Gangsters, aliens, and pirate treasure await you in this RPG for adults about the childhood that never was.

We also try and answer that age-old question of gaming, do video games really make you a criminal?

No trading cards were harmed in the making of this podcast, because we were saving up to get duct tape!
