A State – System Mastery 101
This book is a grim, unrelenting slog. Punctuated by the kind of art that would be impressive if this book was a collection of screenshots from the first Fallout game, […]
D&D 3rd Edition – System Mastery 100
Well, it’s been four years. Honestly when we started the gimmick of doing D&D every 25 episodes we never thought we’d actually get as far as third edition. Here we […]
Sailor Moon RPG – System Mastery 99
Moon Prism Power! Right? Right? That’s what she says sometimes? Look this is weird for us. Not our usual thing. So we brought in a ringer! A guy that’s watched […]
Legendary Lives – System Mastery 98
The countdown to episode 100 begins! This week, Legendary Lives. Just another heartbreaker you’ve never heard of? Maybe. Does it commit several of the weird sins of old game design? […]
Exquisite Replicas – System Mastery 97
You know what we forgot to do in this one? Make fun of that Anonymous motto about how they’re legion or whatever. I guess we just forgot. Oh well. This […]
Nexus: The Infinite City – System Mastery 96

Vacation recaps! Settling if we’re too mean about LARPing. Questions from you! It’s an action packed adventure through wonderment and buffoonery!
Cthulhu Live – System Mastery 92
It’s a game for only the dapperest of beardsmen on today’s System Mastery. We’re talking Cthulhu Live, a game of rapidly going insane while extras cavort about in the background.
The Whispering Vault – System Mastery 91
If you listen real close you can actually hear the vault whispering. It’s not worth it though, he’s just reading the Humor in Uniform section out of old Reader’s Digests. […]

So here’s an interesting first. The author of The Secret of Zir’an, Chris Hockabout, is a listener! So when we covered his book, he reached out to us. Thank goodness […]
The Secret of Zir’An – System Mastery 90

Continuation – Afterthought 52
We talk about things that aren’t FATAL so hard, it’s crazy! Can you blame us? We just don’t want to talk about it anymore. Plus, your questions, answered at last.
FATAL – System Mastery 89
Well folks, you made it happen. Grats to all! There’s no way this is worth any more of our time or yours than the extra-long episode we’ve thrown on here […]
