Are you looking for a game of two-fisted derring-do and rousing pulp adventure? You’ll be sure to find it in some other book.

Yep, “Land Of Confusion” is a great video. Totally worth pausing the podcast for.

Is that a new remix of the theme?
It’s like the… commercial official release of the tune? Our original theme is the song’s sort of prototype mix. When’s Jef’s computer exploded we lost our master mp3 of the original, so we used this. We have the master mp3 again because some fans have bought it over the years.
for another ww2 rpg, look up Godlike: Superhero Roleplaying in a World on Fire, 1936-1946. it struck me as needlessly complex in many areas and you may enjoy picking that apart, but i think you would really enjoy certain background setting ideas like how superscience is a superpower in a very literal way, because its a memorable detail that stuck with me for all these years
I actively paused this and rewatched Genesis’s Land of Confusion, yeah.
