It’s post-apocalypse OGL gaming here so it may seem like something we’ve done before, but is it? I hope not, but honestly 171 is a lot of episodes to go […]
The year is 1975. The hair is stupid. The clothes are stupid. The music? Mostly stupid. The movie scene was okay (Rocky Horror? Jaws? Come on now). And the RPG […]
