System Mastery 209 – Supplement Spectacular 3
Well how about one of these? It’s only the third one in 209 episodes, so I hope they sort of feel special by now! It’s Supplement Spectacular, where we dig […]
System Mastery 208 – Mutant Chronicles
This takes a while, but on the bright side we really find out some new fun and not so fun stuff about the game in the process. Good on ya […]

Desperately trying to hit a book deadline, we found ourselves in need of something fairly small, so we finally broke the tiny sheet of glass in front of the smaller […]
System Mastery 206 – Ork! The Roleplaying Game
Comedy roleplaying game anyone? Maybe one that’s got a bunch of jokes about how dumb orks are and how they have special blood that keeps them from ever being smart […]
System Mastery 205 -Delta Force
My friends, in the interest of transparency, I am only just now realized this game has a subtitle! So don’t look for that in the episode, we didn’t notice. It’s […]
System Mastery 204 – Engel
Well hey, surprise OGL! Nothing on the cover, and so when Jon selected this old Sword & Sorcery product to take home and started reading, he was suddenly (after 190 […]
System Mastery 203 – Theatrix
So what we have here is a rarity, in that it is an early (1993-1995) LARP game that is also a universal generic system. So there’s not really a story […]

System Mastery 201 – Terror Network
I think we bought this one on the cover alone (and especially the back cover, which is bullet points and a photo of the Twin Towers mid-fall). I mean, look […]
System Mastery 200 – Marvel Superheroes Roleplaying Game

System Mastery 198 – Hellcats & Hockeysticks
We’ve had a great track record with games set in high schools, right? So obviously one set in a secondary school should be at least as good as Alma Mater […]
System Mastery 197 – Ironclaw
So many people have requested this that we finally thought we’d throw you all a bone. Ironclaw is an anthro medieval RPG, so you’ll be playing a lot of foxes, […]
System Mastery 196 – InSpectres
Wanna hunt ghosts but not necessarily dedicate your whole life to it? Consider just getting a daytime job hunting ghosts, goblins, nilbogs, and Son of Kong with InSpectres, a game […]
System Mastery 195 – Lords of Creation
Who wants to take over the multiverse? Okay, great! Let’s start you out as a nobody with nothing and you can grind XP in… I don’t care, let’s say mythological […]
