Orlanth Rex’s Gaming Vexes

A splendid podcast. I started listening to episodes about games I was specifically interested in, but now devour all output avidly. I enjoy the conversational nature of it and find myself either learning stuff, or agreeing sagely with much of what’s said. I especially enjoyed the TOR2e episode, hence this review. Thank you and keep up the good work.

You’ve been playing a game such as The One Ring with your mates on a weekend gaming retreat. On Sunday you’re chatting in the pub having a laugh and a bit of a stab at analysing the game. The anecdotes come out in between a few observations and the odd serious point. Wish you were there? Sit down with Gaming Vexes and a glass of your favourite tipple and you will be. Thanks Steve and contributors.

I love this podcast. Its format is similar to that venerable British institution, Match Of The Day, with highlights and analysis incorporating commentary by a collection of the learned elder Grognard community, segments of play, system strengths & weaknesses and all moderated by Steve, the most reasonable presenter, all complete with pleasant regional accent. Thanks for all your work.

This is an excellent RPG podcast. Steve, as host, has a really light touch, masterfully bringing out the expertise and opinions of his guests, whom have played the games they are discussing with him. In-depth discussion of systems and themes (for example, gaming in middle earth) and reflection on how hobby has developed and new games. Always worthwhile and highly recommended.
